The job's good and all...

but the commute! Sheesh.

Re-use champion of the universe

There is so much that is right with this

To clear the fog..

I rode in the fog.

As you can see things started out a little blurry.

I started out on some pavement.

my legs got warmed up

There was a nature break

and a miles of beautiful gravel road

It's 'bout damn time

 These seem relevant today.

Thanks AHTBM.

Mini adventure by bike

As told in photographs taken by my phone.  One thing these photos can't show you is the mosquitoes.  But there was fun and bridges and trains.  Nothing makes these kids happier than some trains.

Look where you want to go.

Oh the carnage!

That's a train down there.

Baskets are for flowers.

 And then we rocked.

The Busy Trap

This article, called "The Busy Trap" ties in nicely to some very important thoughts I've had recently about what's important in life and what our society tells us is important.

Some gems include:

"if your job wasn’t performed by a cat or a boa constrictor in a Richard Scarry book I’m not sure I believe it’s necessary."

"Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness; obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are so busy"

"Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets."

 If you want to do something let me know I'm not too busy.

My socks are on the floor...

Cause these two dudes rocked them clear off my feet.
