>>I don't think I recognize the lyrics.  There was a song by Sting "When We
>>Dance" it was the first song I thought of, but I don't think the line was

>>> Hi Chris,
>>>
>>> thanks for your comments. I always appreciate you.
>>> Euphoria - that is the perfect word here. Speed and nasty weather
>>> conditions - I used Pantoum form to get the repetition to give a feeling
>>> of gathering speed and immediacy.
>>> Hey, did you know the song I used?
>>>
>>> Recently one of my former students wrote to me via Facebook. She said,
>>> "you are the only woman rider I ever knew. I want you to know how much
>>> that meant to me and how you influenced me. I now live in Florida. I do
>>> not even own a car. I have a motorcycle and I ride it every day, every
>>> where." She is now a professional photographer - I am proud of her.
>>>
>>> I also started a rage on our conservative campus. Once the male profs.
>>> learned that I had a bike, several of them also began riding. They got
>>> their permits and license, took the motorcycle course and passed it, and
>>> bought bikes. It was so much fun to sit at lunch time with them and talk
>>> about our
>>> bikes.   Profs from the English, Philosophy, Religion and Biblical
>>> Studies
>>> departments were riding. There were no other women on campus that had a
>>> bike.  We even took some long day trips together at times, with spouses
>>> (my husband has been a rider from his earliest years, and a competetive
>>> hill climber and hare scrambling.) I do have to say that the vice
>>> president of the college once quietly told me "we don't like you riding 
>>> a
>>> motorcycle."
>>> But it was ok, he always had my back and was a wonderful man.
>>>
>>> I have only been on a bike, behind my husband twice in the past five
>>> years.
>>> Not fun at all - like you said about your own experience.  Yes, water
>>> sports would be a lot of fun, too.
>>>
>>> I had planned on buying a kyak just before I lost vision, so instead I
>>> bought a canoe. Bob and I spend summer days in the Allegheny River in 
>>> the
>>> mountains, stop to pick up small smooth stones that I use in my art, and
>>> take the dogs swimming. Since it is also very physical work to do the
>>> canoe, I am very satisfied with it. It is a great cardio workout, as 
>>> well
>>> as resistance training - all good.
