		<title>Loose ends continue being themselves.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It should be fairly evident (even from my limited posts, not to mention to anyone who has talked to me on the phone or seen me in person, or taken a look at my Flickr account) that I completed my transcontinental bike-trip and visited my friends in both NYC and Boston.  What should be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cauterizing loose ends.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been a while since I updated my blog.  Better late than never.
I&#8217;m probably going to spin-off the williamgerdes.com and monkeychart.com into separate websites.  (Isn&#8217;t the best thing to do when you are struggling to keep up-to-date with one website to asexually reproduce it into two websites?)  Here are the kind of things, in [...]]]></description>

Owen being fed by Alexa last night at Alexa and Kelly&#8217;s place in Maplewood, New Jersey.
In a classic missed photo opportunity, I got several Owen pictures, and one Owen/Alexa picture, but completely failed to take any Kelly, or Lynn Curren pictures.
He&#8217;s a handsome and good-natured boy.  Good-natured even when I inadvertently bashed his head [...]]]></description>

Danielle, George, and William at Sloan-Kettering

I&#8217;m now in NYC, not by bike.  The bike was ditched in the mothballed milkroom of my uncle&#8217;s dairy in Vermont.  The bulk of my gear stowed in the closet of a guest bedroom at my aunt and uncle&#8217;s house.  I arrived in West Halifax (where my [...]]]></description>

To Ahna &#8220;Kreegs&#8221; MacDonald and Roberta &#8220;Squeaky&#8221; Maize, Okanagon Level contributors to this trek.  They have kept me in bananas and carrots.  They have sustained me with their goodwill, light-hearts, and generosity.  The Okanagon  does not begin to describe the valleys through which Squeaks and Kreegs have carried me.  They are vast canyons [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farmington, Maine westwards&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have been dodging rainstorms of various sizes for the past few days&#8230;from great big menacing storms to wee pocket-sized storms. Allegedly this rain is receding and sunny, colder weather is in store through Monday. I hope this is true as I make the push from here, through Bangor, and out to the coast of Maine.

		<title>Just crossed Lake Champlain by ferry&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;from Port Kent, New York to Burlington, Vermont.  My bike is in the shop getting a new chain and cassette (these things stretch, wear), and a new right/rear shifter (unbelievably my bar end shifter began to emit pieces of metal a couple days ago.  It still works, but why?  I don&#8217;t know and don&#8217;t dare [...]]]></description>

Native Guides Don and Karen Ryan in Saskatoon
These two native guides, Don and Karen Ryan, cheerfully broke from their morning coffee to guide me first to a local tourist information centre (where the employee cheerfully advised me on the lack of nearby camping options) and then to a local bike shop (where I got a [...]]]></description>

Luella and Diana, generous purchasers of breakfast, in Walford, Ontario
These adorable women, Luella and Diana, unexpectedly bought me a most delicious breakfast in Walford, Ontario.
I guess I had made quite an impression on Luella&#8217;s grandson with the bicycling all the way from Seattle, so while I was eating they snuck over and paid for my [...]]]></description>
