If not now, then when?!

I was riding along the Venice bike path this morning when it occurred to me that I should start a blog....a lot of people have blogs: my daughter, Virginia, has one about her culinary creations; my other daughter, Danielle has a blog about her life in NYC; my sister is blogging about her trip across Canada in a motorhome with 2 cats in search of her ancestral roots - why shouldn't I have a blog?!

My blog will be about the bicycle trip Mike & I are planning in September, 2010.

To commemorate our 60th birthdays, we'll be riding along the California coast from San Francisco to Malibu. It's a trip Mike has wanted to do for some time and I always encouraged him to do it....without me! But I finally relented & agreed to go with him - if not now, then when?!

So on September 22, we'll be setting off on our big adventure. And just to make the trip more meaningful (as if turning 60 isn't meaningful enough!), we'll be riding to raise money for Asmi International (www.asmiinternational.org), the nonprofit organization our daughter Danielle & her friend, Prentice, started in 2009. I'll tell you lots more about Asmi in upcoming blogs & share the fun we're having as we plan & prepare for our trip.

Come along for the ride with Team Asmi!!
