Eric rides again

I got out for a motorcycle ride for the first time this season. It was nice, I really needed to blow off some steam. It was only for a couple hours and only a handful of miles, but noteworthy nonetheless.
There is an unexpected side-effect, however - guilt. I cannot help feeling guilty for abandoning my wife and child that I haven't seen all day to go out and do what most see as "play". It's so much more than that and as the saying goes, "If I have to explain it to you, you just won't understand."
