As I sat here waiting to get this loaded up, the guy who rides his bike stopped to officially introduce himself to me. I am not sure how many miles a day this guy does, but am guessing 25-50 each day. As he rides, he stops to pick up trash. He rides in all kinds of weather and always gives a wave. I "knew" him from seeing him when out here online, walking my dogs in the village, and driving into the nearby town.

So what's everyone up to this fine day?

For me this is the 7 year anniversary from my major motorcycle accident that left me in the hospital for 5 months and I've had to have 24 surgeries. I met my wife in the hospital and we have 2 kids together so it wasn't all bad.

A love story! Out of something bad comes not only something good, but something great. :)

I have a Norwegian friend who speaks 5 languages. I wish I were that smart!

I have a cousin who while in high school taught himself seven languages. Not sure if he knows more of them now or not. Me, I struggled with Spanish.

Little bitty has had us awake 4x already since we went to bed. Not sure what's up with that, she is normally a good sleeper.

Maybe because she was counting sheep in Japanese and couldn't count high enough to get to the sleeping stage?

My imput on the language thing: I remember seeing something on a documentary about something, no idea what anymore, but it had a pyramid classifying hardest and easiest languages to learn, and English was actually on the easier side because its derived from so many languages. I remember German, Polish and Russian are some of the hardest especially to people who know one of the romance languages because the sounds are so different. Then (I don't remember if it was one of those 3) has about 7 grammatical tenses to learn!
Honestly, I took Latin for a year in high school, wish I stuck with that because although it was crazy hard I still hold a lot of that knowledge and could have a lot more right now... and my college doesn't offer latin :(
