This too shall pass: Mental strategy for dealing with adversity

September 21, 2023 by Blue Ridge Motorcycling Magazine

My dear, departed mother — bless her soul — was a fountain of wisdom. In every situation in life, distressing or otherwise, some old saying, expression or proverb would find a way out of her mouth. A big regret of mine is that I hadn’t started paying attention to her vision earlier. There was a lot of insight and experience wrapped up in that wonderful woman. One of my favorite … [Read more...] about This too shall pass: Mental strategy for dealing with adversity

Revving life to the fullest: Tellico Riders Motorcycle Club redefines senior living

September 21, 2023 by Sarah Merrell

Rally ’round a train trip: Amtrak eases cross-country to the BMW MOA Rally

September 21, 2023 by Shawn Lewers

It’s day six near Lorton, Virginia, and I find myself sitting in plush travel comfort. I am barely aware of the ear worm rattling in my brain. It is an old Memphis style blues song, “Mystery Train” written by Junior Parker and made popular by The Band in 1976. The earworm keeps repeating, “The train I ride 16 coaches long. Well, that long black train carries my baby home.” My … [Read more...] about Rally ’round a train trip: Amtrak eases cross-country to the BMW MOA Rally
