good day – bad day
Posted: December 10, 2013 Filed under: cycling, health | Tags: 2wheels2kids, bad day, cancer, layoffs, perspective 23 CommentsThe morning started with the post merger CEO stating: “These are difficult times, and some of you are going to lose your jobs.” That can make it a bad day. Then when the Dr. calls and mentions your cancer test is a bit awry, it’s a bad day.
Still, we are promised few things but change. Each day differs from the last, and sometimes we must re-invent ourselves. As an old acquaintance use to say: “I was looking for a job when I found this one.” Seems logical to me.
What made it a good day? We received a check from a donor for our foundation 2wheels2kids.wordpress.com which means another kid gets a bike for Christmas. How can I not smile.
Merry Christmas
DNA – 2

ugh….
and reminds me of places far away…
my mother’s tribes
and how all of us are descendents of travelers…
my father’s tribes
but if I ever felt holier than thou… I might be justified
holier than thou.. I don’t think so
But my kids say, I can be a royal pain…
ah…. please pass the cake
But then we decide if we really want to know…
what burden does some knowledge bring…
But what we have in common should transcend the sum or our differences.

You send them a saliva sample, then they sequence your DNA and you can view the results on their website. It’s a combination of fun and some serious information.
It’s nice to score in the 98th percentile in any test, I just never thought it would be from having 3.1% of Neanderthal DNA.
My kids may have suspected it.
