Making a New Start… Again…
It feels like I write about a new start with this blog quite frequently. Certainly in the last couple of years. This time, though, it feels a little more real, more urgent in a personal sense. The thing is that…
Category Living With Multiple Sclerosis
My personal reflections on Multiple Sclerosis. Good days and bad days, preferably the former.

Cycling: A Change of Adventure
It is time to accept it. Those grand cycling adventures, in the form that I have been experiencing them for the past few years, are gone. Cycling is not over, though. No way. It is too important to me. I…
