We pretend we have control over things all the time. We do it so often that we don’t even think about it. We don’t worry about getting in a fatal car accident because we can control the outcome through our habits and the protective gear we buy, right? We don’t stress overmuch about choking on […]

My Hero: My Mother
My mom is the strongest, nicest, most compassionate, most loving, and most tenacious woman I know. She is, simply, amazing. Right now, she’s lying unconscious in ICU at Florida Hospital, Celebration Health, near Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. She endured six long, extremely high risk, hours of surgery yesterday and, despite the odds, emerged […]

This blog post marks my 200th post on BinaryBiker.com. You, my faithful readers, have been with me as I shamelessly share my thoughts, ideas, and feelings for the world to see.

I’d like to tell you that I’m a laid back kind of guy, but I would be lying. I’m not laid back. I am passionate, quick to judge at times, and have been battling anger issues for my entire life. I am just not the paragon of cool and acceptance that most of you think […]

For twenty-two years the Binary Biker has been riding without a Florida motorcycle endorsement. When I first started riding there was no requirement for the endorsement. Then, once the state mandated it, I refused to get the endorsement because I viewed it as a waste of time, money, and saw it as just another way […]

It Galls Me To Tell You This
My gall bladder is functioning at only 3%. This is apparently not uncommon for someone who went through chemotherapy and lost so much weight so quickly. The extreme punishment my body endured through cancer treatments was not without consequence. My gall bladder was damaged and has since deteriorated. Lovely. Let me start from the beginning. […]

I flew to Washington, DC today. Again. It’s what I do. Working for Hooah, I get the opportunity to fly up here a couple of times each month. I work with my clients, my team, and enjoy a town I love dearly. This week, I am lucky enough that my lovely wife, Carey, is able […]
