Got in about 40 miles today, "running errands." I bought a new pair of cycling shorts from Performance Bike, and for some strange reason, had it shipped to the Northbrook store instead of the store on Halsted. I rode to Northbrook to pick that up, then back down to Lincoln Park to have lunch with a friend, then back home to Evanston. I actually rode past the PB store on Halsted after lunch!

I rode with my 2 grandsons 9 & 7 and the latter wanted to do a 2nd lap of the

lake Sauk Trail bike path with me. Best ride ever!

Can't help wondering how long those flowers are going to last . . . .

I will be losing the flowers soon, but the color lasts until the end of October. There was one plant that remained green throughout the winter, but you can only last so long with that. Gotta figure out something for winterr, Lisa.

Southbound LFP Addison to loop at 1:30pm, nice ride but a stiff headwind all the way.

Got to work this morning and realized that my fly had been down for the whole ride. That is all.

Amazing ride to work this morning. Doubly so because of the following:

(Stop light at Madison and Dearborn)
Police SUV: Excuse me young lady, your brake light is out *big grin*
Me: Sorry officer, as soon as they start making them I’ll get one! *laugh*
Cop: Have a good Friday!
Me: Happy Friday to you too!
Oldsmobile: That guy is having way too much fun at his job. *smile*
Me: It’s Friday, everyone has a better day at work on Friday.
Oldsmobile: You have a good Friday!
Me: Happy Friday to you too. Have a great day!
(light changes)

Completely renewed my faith in humanity. Happy Friday everyone.
