Pollen season

I took a cup of coffee with me as I left the house. Sip, pedal, sigh. So happy.

A mile later, I pour out a little dribble from the top to clear a small amount of pollen that collected on the lid. Whatever. Sip, pedal, sigh. So happy.

The second time I went for a sip, I had to actually lose some coffee. Hm. Ok. Sip, pedal, sigh. Happy.

I'm not the squirmish type. I don't really mind pollen, except that it irritates my eyes in the wind. Sunglasses help. When I had to quit drinking my coffee because there was a coffee-pollen paste in the lid, I used some foul language. Unacceptable!

Shadows

I love how the road lights up with glitter at certain times of day. It's also pretty amazing the things you can make on your cell phone.

First day of spring was a good one!

Greenway ride

I saw a unicorn!

Maybe you know that my friend and I are doing some Heart Spoken jerseys?

Yesterday morning I was on the phone with Rachel, and I wound up driving on the road that I usually bike on. (Don't be mad. Sometimes I drive a car.)

The coolest thing happened! I SAW ANOTHER FEMALE BIKE COMMUTER! I did what any other giddy driver would do... No, no - I didn't run her off the road - I stopped to give her one of our jerseys.

I hope she wears it and that it protects her, even if for just a moment. We need to stand up for each other. We need to help each other. We need to protect each other, regardless of how we're getting to work in the morning.

Cause I'm #reflective like that

Picked up a great new reflective Sugoi jacket in the REI sale. Very happy about this.

Can we take a minute to enjoy that I took my morning conference call from the sunny side of this tree?

The timing wasn't quite going to work for me, so I made sure to charge my phone. To my mind, this moment was a marvel. I was on the phone with Atlanta, New York, and India from the sunny side of this tree.
