A Very Daring Adventure

Helen Keller said life was either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Sunday night Doug and I went to a dinner/fundraiser for our friend Allan, who is about to embark on a very daring adventure. He is circumnavigating the globe, on his motorcycle. He leaves on July 4th of this year.

Honestly, I am worried for his safety on this trip, and have done my best not to tell him so. My grandmother, whose birthday was July 4th, taught me to always be the one on the dock waving and wishing, “bon voyage,” and ne’er the naysayer. It is tough to heed her lesson, but I try.

Doug and I will faithfully read Allan’s travelogue, and are encouraging Frank’s class, as well as his entire school, to follow this daring adventure.

Godspeed my dear friend Allan. Bon voyage.
