I’m a 50+ youngster enjoying life.  After 25 years of being a left-brained technical, fact-based person, I am enjoying the creative right side of my grey matter.  I do this 2 ways - journaling/writing about my travels and now sketching images rather than just taking photographs - you remember a place more vividly when your hand records what your eyes see.  Writing and sketching also goes well with my favorite activity - touring by bicycle.  As Hemingway put it, “You have no such accurate remembrance of a country you have driven through, as you gain by riding a bicycle.” (Battle for Paris, 1944), and sketching and writing about my travels with my life partner (see Sandy Larkin) go hand in hand as we travel.
