Something good 
I've been doing lots of cycling, and less walking, this week. The cycling has felt good—I feel like I'm getting stronger. And I've had lots of nice conversations while on the bike.
I did get a rain cape the other day, which has meant that it hasn't rained on my commute. Golden!!
As usual, the commute is the best part of my day. Even the ride home.
Lately, I've taking the bike lane on Williams back home. It's like a bike freeway, and the hills are more gradual than going through the neighborhood. The fact that I'm passed by tons of bicyclists who don't ever let me know they're passing bugs me, but hey. I still prefer riding through the neighborhood, I just need to get okay/better at tiny little hills.
I got a set of hex tools (I'm sure I already had a set, so this will allow me to find them) so I can tweak an old bike. Sweetie lent out his bike, so I'm going to be riding my old bike, most likely, during Pedalpalooza. I need to adjust the seat, and the shifting sucks on it... so I'll probably bring it by Bike Central and see if they can't make it better.
And then I've gotta do some training. Like tout suite. Pedalpalooza starts on Thursday, and my brew crawl is Friday!!

I've been obsessed about music over the last couple of days. I blame watching music videos from my youth. Anyways, I came across the video for the Talking Head's Nothing But Flowers.
I heard the song, or saw the video once. In 1988. I immediately went out and bought the album, and it's the only Talking Heads album I have. But I love the song, the golden rolling singing african-cameroonian guitars, and the infectious "you got it, you got it" bridge in the chorus.
After watching the video, I dunno, a dozen times, I noticed that Kirsty MacColl was in it. Oh my gosh!
But the next video was Kate Bush's Cloudbusting, not one of my favorite songs by her, but it has lodged itself into my head. Especially the line, I know that something good is going to happen.
Anyways, that's stuck in my head now.

are you going to do the parade on Thursday? I think that might be pretty fun to take Greta to.
