About Me

favorite things lately: tea! crunching leaves. walks. the sound made while riding my bike over loose cobblestones. flowers sticking through fences. my jobs. bo's paw pads on my face. those fat free fudge pops. good grocery store deals. etc
this is why soda is gross.
"A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men." - Roald Dahl
It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle. ~Ernest Hemingway
A bicycle does get you there and more.... And there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun. ~Bill Emerson, "On Bicycling," Saturday Evening Post, 29 July 1967
