Having a Guardian Angel at your side helps with these rides, but the same Angel mounted on a Bovine Friend …well that is just …Perfect.

I am an Italian American citizen with dual citizenship who retired from the full time practice of Medicine in 2014 ; I still work as a volunteer MD in rural North Carolina.
This site offers you stories of my travels when away from home...
Day 3 “Do Overs”
5/30/18
I send Angel on ahead to sniff the air. It’s very important to make sure no hogs are in the slaughter line. 3 years ago I paid the price for this. Panicked porcine vibes struck me big time. How clearly I can remember the smell of pig wafting from the woods just before it happened.
Today the “coast is clear”…I sigh with relief and ride on.
Day 2: Dentures and Heat
5/29/18
I have always had respect for the two US Senators from Maine, Senator Collins and Senator King. Granted, I may not agree with many of their beliefs, but they do seem to represent the underserved in this State. Only today did I actually see for myself what a diverse population they represent…
Day 1: Black Holes
5/28/18
With great concentration I held the metal pole and looked at the bar ahead. What could be so hard about this? I ran down the track as fast as I could, placed the pole in the block and launched myself into the air.
From my 10th grade gym teacher “ 3 1/2 feet and you hit the bar! D-! NEXT!”
Day 0 : The Melting Pot
5/27/18
The granite block was hewed to near perfection. Soon it would belong to a Cathedral in a Great City. With filthy hands beyond hope of ever being clean again he sat down to a feast of lobster.
It was garbage no one else would eat…
Leaving the Trojan Horse Behind

He was 41 years old…at least he had lived a few more years than many who died during those traumatic years.

Ruminations
Training is done and it’s time to “chew the cud”…
Wisdom
5/4/18
With age comes Wisdom and the responsibility it carries with it like an old carpet bag…
Interlude

It took a while but she finally digested those 6 pomegranate seeds…

Fortitude and “The Apple and the Tree”
The suitcase lay outside next to the garbage can…so rank and disgusting in smell, even flies avoided it…
