Yeah, I need to apologize for not keeping this up. I won't use the excuse of the day (Year? Years?). In fact, I'm going to try to avoid that less-than-favorite subject entirely. After all, what does disease have to do…

...even though I never went away. But now I'm "on the road again" tot some of my favorite shows, events and swap-meets. Like two old favorites I've signed up for: the Association of Rhode Island Authors' Expo in December and…

Leaving the house; eating out - breakfast, lunch or dinner; swap meets and car shows; motorcycle rides that can head to somewhere; and, of course, racing. Seekonk or Waterford on a Saturday night, Stafford or - say - Lee on…

Yeah, this is how I entertain myself these days.
My oldest bike, the 1972 Yamaha XS2, finally is on the road, after I sorted out the last couple of items on the rebuild-list. This is a vertical twin 650cc…

Saturday, June 1, I'll be signing and selling at the Woonsocket, RI, Library.
I know I don't often do appearances at libraries or bookstores. I've found that the kids I want to read my racing books don't go to…
