The Pedaling Professor: Technically bumbling along

Technically bumbling along

Today was Ag Field Day so I cylced down to campus and took the long way home. It's always good to see former students after they've grown up....

But today's magic effort is pulling photos off my phone. With any luck, you'll see "my canal" (the Delaware Raritan Canal, with the falls and my finger) and the C & O canal in D.C. Damn, my "file is corrupt or in a unusable format." Yea, I've never seen a .bin which saved as an html neither of which is one of the four formats this blog site accepts. I should stick to riding a bike...

45 minutes later- I think I have the work around solution. Copy the impage, paste it into powerpoint, save as jpeg and up load. Let's see if that works. Yipee!!!

About Elijah's Promise

I am riding to raise funds for Elijah's Promise, which began as a small soup kitchen and has since become a multi-service agency that moves people out of poverty. Elijah’s Promise is working to empower lives, invite justice and alleviate hunger. The organization offers a continuum of services leading to self-sufficiency. These programs include a soup kitchen which serves 300 to 400 meals daily, a meal program for HIV-infected clients, and a culinary school.

My goal is to raise $10 a mile, which comes to $38,000 and will fund 15,200 meals. Elijah's Promise is serving 14.% more meals this year than last year, so your support will help us go the extra mile to fight hunger!

To donate online: Go to the main Elijah's Promise page, and click on the "donate" link on the upper right side. Don't forget to type "bike ride" in the "purpose field." You may also download a paper donation form here.

About Me

Here I am, a dad, a professor, and now an athlete. Who’d have thunk it? The dad thing gives me the most joy. Chris (29), Rebecca (26), and Matt (19) have enriched my life by teaching me all sorts of things. Being a professor is a good gig. Rutgers has taught me a lot in 24 years, as Department Chair, Director of the Graduate Program, and as a teacher. My favorite classes are “The Science of Food,”and “Food Safety: Fads, Facts, and Politics.”

I try to remember the words of the Harvard theologian, Henri Nouwen: “When you die and stand before God, the question won’t be “How many papers have you published in peer review journals?” The question will be “What have you done for the least of your brothers.*" This ride is dedicated to the least of my brothers (and sisters). Riding a bike to feed the hungry, pretty neat idea if I do say so myself.
