Compromise On the Road With Your Spouse
There are times I wonder if Im just dreaming all this. It was in 2011 that she and I got together. Each of us had been married to other people. We were each 45 when we decided the other was the soul mate we had searched for in vain.

One of my motorcycle travel goals has been to cross all the major passes in the eastern Sierra Nevada mountain range.
