It Strikes Me Funny: I love my wife, my bike, and vacations together

But not necessarily in that order.

When my wife sees the photo below (from my sisty loveler, via Great Britain) she will say one thing:


“Don’t try this at home.”

When I add "bicycle vacation" to my Green Ideas 2009 list (see side margin) I'll bear that in mind.

But I still had to laugh.

In my house if my husband showed up with that idea my words would be "Have a great time. Check in once in a while."

I went looking for the 2 books you recommended. Guess they're not here in the states. Local library had no record for either one.

Hi twinkelydots,

I picked up both at Chapters but Sliced Iguana was a "bargain book - 80% off" (couple of years ago), and The Upside of Down, by Thomas Homer-Dixon, is a Canadian book and may not have been picked up in the US.

I'm having similar problems getting a book by a US author, Tom Miller. His latest, Trading with the Enemy (a re-issue or update), is re Cuba, another country I'll likely never get to visit.

Let's keep digging - they gotta be out there.

Cheers,

GAH

Ahhhh a fellow bargain bin shopper!

I couldn't remember the complete name of the Iguana book. I just remembered that it had "iguana" in the title.

The librarian came up with a book written by Henry Winkler (The Fonz). Not the same book. Go figure.

BTW: I no longer can. I freeze our harvest.
