While You Wait

While you're waiting to see what happens to this blog and its comments, I'll tell you what I've been doing when I shouldn't have been neglecting this blog:

One of Brother's last posts might have you believe I've been engaging in political activity designed to anger him, but no, not that--I've been all caught up in my new bicycle.

If "all caught up in" makes it sound like love, that's not far from the truth. I got my new bike in early March and within days I think I told TZM, "If my new bike was a person, I'd marry it!"

Why do I love my new bike so much? I didn't know riding a bicycle could be so comfortable--I don't know why I never got a cruiser-style one before. And, I feel about 8 years old when I ride it. It's just too much fun pedaling around on it. I've ridden it to work, to stores, to the local library, to the park, to everywhere!

Between my bike and the bus, I can imagine being car free. And, I'm thinking other people should aspire to being car free more and more of the time, especially with the latest oil spill mess in the Gulf. Hey, maybe this is an activity which will anger Brother! But he's way too interested in physical fitness to ever be completely against something that offers some exercise.
