Welcome Aboard!

Hello fellow readers, riders and roamers!

I'm Tammy Marshall, and I proudly belong to all three of the above-mentioned categories, so in honor of quality literature, motorcycles (especially my Harley-Davidson), and travel (both here in the U.S. and abroad), I'm starting this blog to tell others like me about great reads, great rides and great places to roam to your heart's content.

Here is a little preview of some of the places I'll be addressing within the next few months: the Black Hills of South Dakota; Branson, Missouri and the Ozark Thunder Motorcycle Rally; Merida, Mexico and other spots in the Yucatan, including Holbox Island where I'm returning for my second swim with whale sharks later this summer.

I'll be sharing some of the rides I take with my fellow American Legion Riders here in Northeast Nebraska as well as some I take alone or in the company of my sweetheart and his Honda. My Harley has brought me more joy in the two years I've owned it than words can even express, but I'll do my best to share that happiness and freedom with you anyway.

Reading always has been and still remains the greatest escape for me, though, so I'll be telling you about the books I'm reading, the great bookstores I love and find along the way in my travels, and I'll even share some of my own writing with you -- aside from this blog, that is. I'm a poet, columnist, essayist, novelist, humorist, and a few other "-ists" I'll make up along the way.

Thanks for joining me on this journey. I look forward to reading, riding and roaming with you!

If you'd care to combine all three of those loves and join me on my current literary journey, I'm reading both "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values" by Robert M. Pirsig and "The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey" by Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

Come along for the ride!

Tammy
