Life is such a sweet insanity.
I love life and people. This is a place where I can write down what's happening, what I'm thinking, what I'm seeing and what I'm feeling. After all, life is just one blog entry after another.Monday, June 21, 2004
On The Road Again.
Like I promised myself over the weekend, I rode my bike to work this morning. I must admit that I was proud of myself for going through with my promise to myself, because I often make resolutions, promises and threats and never follow through on them. "I'm going to lose 10 pounds before vacation." "I'm going to make sure the washer and dryer are empty before going to bed." "If I eat this cream cheese covered strawberry I will turn into a toad." Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.
But when I awoke this morning, feeling completely refreshed after 10.5 hours of sleep, I was delighted to find the birds singing and the sun shining. So I got my gear together, ate an English muffin covered in organic peanut butter (which is quite bland, by the way) and then headed off to work.
I had forgotten what riding in rush hour traffic is like. First of all, road construction activity is at an all time high here in Central New York, so half the ride is on a rush board. But the vibration is perfect for soothing my aching bum, I suppose. Then there's the Utica rules of the road - when the light turns green, wait for five seconds or five cars, which ever comes through the light first. And avoid all SUVs at all costs - they don't know what they're doing.
But the ride in kept my energized throughout the day - giving me a lively step in my gait and a song in my heart. It's a shame that I need to travel for work tomorrow. I look forward to doing the ride again on Wednesday.
It's nice to be on the road again.
