Someone in my house is now eight. Eight. It might be a good moment to note that the day after this certain person was born, she received a letter from my dear brother, in which he promised that when she was eight, she could indeed have a pony. Thanks for that, Joe! Her birthday …

Biking to Soccer
We rode with one of our daughter’s friends to soccer practice last Friday, and it was such a pretty afternoon. At their practice field, there’s a beautiful arrangement of trees off to one side – the ideal spot to park the bikes and spread the blanket. It’s yet another moment when I’m happy …

Certainly not the only city – there are plenty of places …

It was a super cheap San Francisco Bicycle Coalition bike swap find, and we have become fast friends. Now that everyone …
