I tell ya, there’s nothing quite like riding your bike to work to remind you of just how out of shape you are. I had to get off and walk three times. The best part? I’m apparently so used to 20 inch bikes that when I think of getting back on, my first thought is to swing my leg over the back tire. Of course, I only raise my leg up around 21 inches or so, and bang my leg on the side of the wheel :) Good times.
I got a new bike! Hooray!
I’m looking forward to riding around again.
Saw this on Boing Boing, and it’s too good not to pass on. Color Wars 2008 has a post called YoungMe/MeNow where people take pictures of themselves as children and try to recreate them as adults. Link
Last night was CCBC night at the national aquarium in Baltimore, so I took Em. She had a blast. They’ve opened up a frog exhibit (Frogs are her favorite animals these days. How is it that I have a little girl who hates “icky” things, yet loves frogs and elephants?), so someone was in hog heaven. Of course, the bubble columns are always a hit:
I took some more photos, you can view them in my flickr pool if you like. Link
