A birthday request

A year ago today I dipped my tire in the Pacific Ocean, after having dipped it months earlier in the Atlantic Ocean as well during my journey Round America with a Duck via bike, buses, trains and working on organic farms. A few days later I turned 60. There were many days I didn’t think…

March forth!

It’s March 4th — march forth! It’s my favorite day of the year.
