Hither To and Fro
Well, in a city of around 1-2 million, one may ponder how you get around. There are the usual avenues of transportation of taxi, buses, and driving cars (for those that can afford it). Furthermore, there is various forms of the bicycle that most people relie upon daily for traveling. I happen to fall into the later category. Now, when I arrived on the field a month ago, I was blessed with a bicycle for free. For it, I am grateful. But, it is a rare bicycle here that is generally found to be riden by only OLDER MEN! Thus, many here find it quite humorous that the 'old man' bicycle is riden by none other than the 'old man!' Thus, my title is perpetuated even unto my mode of transportation! Good day to you all!

Matt thanks for you encouragement on my blog updates-it is always so nice to know that someone is actually reading them :)i have enjoyed reading yours and im happy to see all is going well. the father is so awesome!! heartcha!
If your city is anything like mine...YOU'RE NUTS for riding that thing. I haven't seen too many flattened bikes on the road yet, but I've heard stories and seen a few near-misses. But I suppose you're a bit more coordinated than guys like me...even older than yourself. Take care.
Hey, old man! I'm laughin'! Well, Trey is not a h.s. graduate and is off to his first camp venue today in Tenn. All is well. Tired. Yesterday was a FULL day.
Hope all is well. Love the transportation!

Hey! I meant to say that Trey IS a h.s. graduate. I think I'm losin' it! That's how crazy this last week has been. It's good to have a day today to just catch up--on my sanity! Luv ya bro!
Hahaha...I left a comment and erased it because I made a typo and I love how it says "message erased." Can we say type A? Sheesh. Anyway, what I wanted to say was...wow, Matthew, you are so popular! Hope you are doing well! haha...ah, la vie est toujours intérresante.
Bikes Rule! Even if your old! Haha...you're not old...just wise. I ordered a bike last Monday and so hopefully it will be in this Friday. Weeeee!!! Love you man
