Back home

To those who celebrate this weekend, Happy Thanksgiving. There's a parade happening a few km away from here, which I'm avoiding just like we have for the last seven... But there is certainly a lot to be thankful for, including having good friends. So thanks, y'all.

The trip to Long Island for my cousin's wedding was successful: she's married, the groom's family's met and approved of, and I spent good quality-time with the Grandma, aunt and uncle who are down there. Nobody got murdered, despite multiple predictions, so that's (...nearly a?) raging success as well.

d's safely in DC for his conference, and I lined up a proper Thanksgiving dinner this evening with W&J, two local friends who were feeling like company.

As for right now, I'm going back to bed for a nap. g'night!

Biked to Cambridge again

On my Thanksgiving day off, while dan's still traveling:

Biked from City Cafe to City Cafe again; I took a huge number of photos of leaves turning. Homer Watson Park was quite beautiful, as was the road into Hespler (Fountain St.?) along the waving grain... The weather cooperated well- I was warm in short-sleeves.

Down:
12:46p-1:50 (10min stops) odo 736.76

Back:
2:22p-4:00 (30min? stops) odo 760.85

So, 54 minutes down, 68 minutes back. 24.09 miles.

I should upload those photos!
