Seven Bridges Road

These lyrics by the Eagles are strictly vocal only. If you get a chance put the CD on with your favorite headset and enjoy!

I love this song as it reminds me of a simpler time in my life when I lived in my one room school house along the banks of the Chickahominy Creek on Nelson Mountain Road:

Seven Bridges Road lyrics

There are stars
In the Southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road

Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild

Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn from here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the Seven Bridges Road

There are stars in the Southern sky
And if ever you decide
You should go
There is a taste of time sweetened honey
Down the Seven Bridges Road

Define Your Life - Ride a Bike

I love bicycles, always have and always will. Growing up in Eugene, Oregon I spent many hours traveling the dedicated bike paths laid out around the city. Now residing in Ohio (until I retire back out to Oregon!) I pedal the incredible Ohio/Erie Towpath.

During the "good riding" months out here (away from Oregon) I spend a lot of time at Century Cycles in Peninsula, Ohio. I just signed up for their email newsletter so I could be notified of the great bike repair classes they offer in the "bad riding" months.

In their email reply to me was a great qoute:
