My brother Stephen and I are working on our old Hondas in anticipation for our cross-continental motorcycle ride. He lives in Uxbridge, Ontario, and finds some time away from homework during the Christmas holidays. I'm now back in Vancouver, tucked away in St. John's Orthodox Church basement. Away from where it is freakishly snowing like crazy. Our ride is scheduled for August but the excitement is already mounting, especially as more of our brothers plan to join us, turning this into a true Hellzenga motorcycle adventure. The song I stole from The Constantines, titled Hard Feelings.
