car-free?
It’s happened at last: the car has died on the freeway. We may be going car-free for a few months now; unless there’s something really easy and cheap to fix, it probably isn’t worth repairing the old rustbucket.
I’m planning to try to tandem with Josh all the way to yoga class in a couple of days, with cars and everything. This is a little bit more ambitious than I really had in mind for us this week. We’ll see if I have the nerve to try to ride back after that; I retain the option of walking home. The nice thing about being a stoker is that I can safely close my eyes while I chant to myself, “We’re not going to die today, we’re not going to die today…” Or maybe it’ll be, “I’m not really here, I’m not really here…”
ETA: Or maybe it’ll be fun! I shouldn’t discount that possibility.

I can commisserate - see my latest post. I should have come and picked up the bicycle earlier, obviously…

Well, gee, seems to be going around.

Actually, I’m not sad about it. (Not nearly as sad as I am, for instance, about the fact that the squirrels have taken a chomp out of my best pumpkin. Damn you, squirrels!) In fact, my first reaction was, “SWEET!” I’ve been expecting this for a good while now.
But I am nervous about the bike aspects. I’ve gotta get my bike act more together.
