I loves a parade 
Well, after all my complaining, my contortionist called me and rescheduled, and gave me quite the massage. Her massages are so hard, I feel like it's a feat that I remain laying on the table. At one point she started working on my hip flexors and I just had to say, I can't take it. I can't breathe through this, you have to lighten up.
Perhaps, not surprisingly, I ache more today than the day after the marathon! Allegro might have something to do with it too. Maybe.
...
There has been a thread on the local scooter list about cheap places to park. This morning, I parked for $2. For Portland, for a scooter, that's pretty incredibly cheap. If I park in my building, it's $7.75. I'm psyched.
I hate to actually pay for monthly parking, but on the other hand, it's really tempting. But if I did that, would I walk and bike less than I do now? Hard to say.
...
The Rose Festival is going on here, right now, which makes approaching the waterfront a giant pain in the butt. The intown portion of my commute is right on the waterfront, so there is absolutely no incentive for me to commute under my own power right now.
Though. Today is the first day of Pedalpalooza, which is this celebration of the quirky, creative bike culture here. There's a parade tonight! Damn, what a good excuse to miss pilates!
Because the townie is in the kitchen (still. Let's not go there), and because we have a cat that loves buckets and bags and boxes, we thought it might be fun to, umm, put Nigella in the bike basket. Was it fun? Oh yeah!
