I just updated my website with a story about riding a connie to Minneapolis, where I had to face my greatest enemy - my best friend's cat. To keep away from the horrid, malicious beast, I took the man out of the house by way of my motorcycle.

Thanks Roadkoan, I definitely appreciate you taking the time to read. I lived in Minneapolis, briefly, and love the city. It's sad that everyone I know there has moved one, I have no reason to cruise dinkytown like a creepy old man anymore.

Thanks everybody, I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and read.

Jeremy,  I'm working at getting published, but I don't have any regular places that I contribute to. I'm always in the market for contacts. It's an uphill battle.
