I had another CT scan of my back. This time, I had the results read by a physician with experience in evaluating muscle and ligament problems in the back.
I am very glad that I consulted with my insurance company to identify the correct professional to evaluate the results because…

In April, I was among zillions of others who received a message from the company that hosts my bootedman.com website to advise that the site is not considered “mobile friendly” according to google, and therefore some of its pages may no longer appear in results from searches.
How did I, a non-mobile-device-user, feel about that?

The phrase, “it’s not the destination, but the journey” has been around for a long time, often stated in articles in motorcycle-related media and elsewhere.
While I always believe in having an end-goal (i.e., “the destination”), how we get there can be — and should be — a fun adventure.
Lately, my life journey has certainly been an adventure, with many twists and turns, peaks and valleys, and challenges. And I cannot say that the last 10 days have been any fun at all.
So what’s my outlook on how the journey has been twisted?

Hey there… BHD with an update, writing from beautiful “downtown” hospital room. (This reference is a throw-back to my age when its originator was used starting in 1968.)

Hey there, loyal blog followers. BHD here, barely.

I tell ya, for someone like me who is accustomed to running 1000% full-tilt forward, the imposed mobility restrictions are…

I put up a temporary post the other day to say that I was not going to be able to write blog posts for a while due to an injury that I sustained. Here’s the back story about what happened.

I was reading a blog post written by a motorcop in California. He has been writing his blog for seven years, as long as I have been blogging, too. He observed over time that:
If you look back over the seven years of the life of this blog, you are likely to read a very cynical man’s perspective on the world. “Cynical” is a kindness, by the way. There was a season in there where “Angry” is more apropos.
Further, he said that he began reading about leadership, the Bible, fiction and non-fiction. Like me, he arrived at the conclusion that…

Below is a video that I shot when using a GoPro video camera (simple basic no-frills “Hero4” model) mounted to my motorcycle helmet. I captured 18 minutes of HD video, which I edited to produce a 3:49 minute video of the highlights of the “Law Ride” in which I participated as a rider on Sunday, May 10.
It is cumbersome, time-consuming, and difficult to produce and edit videos these days, so I make far fewer videos than I once did when technology was much simpler and faster.
After the jump, enjoy the video:
