Writing instead of riding and Anniversary

Been working hard on my dissertation. Don't know why but I can't find sufficient energy to balance long hours of writing with riding my bike or motorcycle. My muscles are atrophying and my chains are rusting. As I wrote in my introduction, my dissertation topic is about international library development, questioning if these libraries are relevant and sustainable. My blogs for my two field trips can be found at http://llpzambia.blogspot.com/ and http://oclfvolunteer.blogspot.com/.

By the way, yesterday was the three year anniversary of my motorcycle accident in which I broke 20+ bones. I'm all better now and have some pretty impressive scars. I am amazed at my body's recuperative powers.

I do get a lot of questions from people since I purchased a new motorcycle. And of course I have not yet told family back in Kansas about the BMW F650GS.. Guess in some ways, I'm hoping they find this blog and can love me despite my love of motorcycles.

Tomorrow I get to celebrate my anniversary by riding to Durham to visit Emma at school. A 6 hour ride/break from dissertation. Celebration of life!!!
