Cheers to my One and Only -- the indomitable Dave Downes, who is out there on "Dave's Last Ride," with his cycling mates from the last decade of so, the "golden years" ... reliving the memories, recalling the good times, having fun. I'm so proud of him! Were you ever so proud of someone that your heart doesn't quite fit in your chest? Then, you know the feeling.
You also know me well enough by now ... I'm the eternal bloody optimist. I'll go this far: "Dave's Last Ride ... For the Next Several Years," until University of Sydney, or Sheffield University, or The Florey Institute -- whatever, whoever, wherever -- come up with answer to this thing. MND will be beaten, Dave will be there to see it beaten.
This story will have a happy ending, when he gets back on the bike and rides away. No one can say exactly when, but I'll close this post with a quote from Bruce Lee, who was wise beyond his years. "When you say that something is impossible, you have made it impossible."
Nothing, but nothing, is impossible, unless we make it so. And life is one big possibility ... if we will only allow it to be. Go, Dave!!!
