"God is great, beer is good and people are crazy"

Truer words have never been spoken...

Here I am on the eve of another ride from New York to Boston and this is the song stuck in my head, but it's good. I mean, think about it.

God is great. True.
As evidenced last year, I know God will be looking down upon us on our ride to keep us safe. Things will be difficult, but everything does (and will) happen for a reason.

Beer is good. True.
No drinking is done on the ride, so the finale is our motivation. That first sip of beer when we reach Fenway Park will be that much more rewarding because we'll have been a week without it (that's a long time for some of us!).

People are crazy. Unequivocally True.
Check the second sentence of this blog. "Here I am on the eve of ANOTHER ride from New York to Boston..." What is wrong with me? I don't think anything is seriously wrong with me, despite what my parents may believe. I think that as Billy Currington says, we're all just a little bit crazy. I know that this ride is possible because I did it last year, but I also know that it will be a test of fortitude regardless. You only live once, so I think it's important that we constantly challenge ourselves.


Kurt Vonnegut once said, “I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center.” That's what we're trying to do here...So it goes...
