Make it a great ride…

Yesterday, Littlest, Slo, and Jmo joined Peej, Blondie, and me for some core work in the early morning. It was solid work.

9:09 Peej, Blondie, and I departed for a 27 mile ride in 35 degree sunshine. Was epic. First ride of the year. Peej is 49 and a stud cyclist. He pulled Blondie and me around. Was more than gracious. Most of the ride I sat in the back calling out the route and thinking to myself, this is so awesome. Reflected on other dudes our age. Remembered my dad. Thought about each of our children. Thanked God for my bride and the gift she’s been to my sorriness.

It was a great ride. So, friend, is this life.

It is hard. Designed so. And, it is glorious. Filled with moments of beauty, laughter, and glory. Today, I’m planning on Church with Mom. Taking nothing for granted. She is a gift. So damn lucky to have her for nearly 67 years. Next week, Miss and I are headed to Miami to celebrate with David and Lu as they tie the knot. Jordan and his crew will join us. We will dance and drink it in. He’s like a fourth son to me. Jordan befriended him back in the day. We’re still making memories. His mom, Coltilde, is being built to lead by JimmyTHEgant. Integrated. Together we transform. Always together. Damn.

Live hard. Love ❤️ harder…
