We swung by the new Whole Foods on the way home from school the other day. I’m particularly fond of this WF because right in front of the store, they installed a whole line of bike racks and a handy tool station for bikers – it’s thoughtful and convenient. When we rolled in that afternoon, I …

What a Weekend!!
FRIDAY Every Friday afternoon, Honey’s soccer team has a practice. I’ve mentioned it before, because we’ve had it this way for three years now – Friday soccer practice ends at 5pm and we all know that’s cocktail time. So we usually bring some snacks and drinks to the practice and kick off the weekend in …
Not Just the Clothes Make the (Wo)Man
I’m going to fess up front here – this one’s about clothes. You’ve been warned. Around this time every year I tend to look in the old closet and cringe a bit. Shopping is not on my top ten list of favorite activities – at least not for myself. I get itchy and self conscious …
All In A Day
This morning This afternoon This morning was more than grey and rainy. This morning was downright surly. The rain sheeted down and gusts slapped at our legs. It wasn’t pretty. This afternoon, the day was all, “I’m so, so sorry! I just – I don’t know what got into me. Honest, I didn’t mean it …
Another Bike Post
Here are three fun biking events from the past two weeks: 1. Family Ride to Tiburon Over Thanksgiving weekend, we finally took a great ride that we’d been planning forever with our friends Rik and Sherri and their two awesome kids. We went from Mill Valley to Tiburon on a clear and windy Saturday afternoon. …
iWalk 2009
We participated in International Walk to School Day here in our town today. Over the past few weeks, the Safe Routes to School committee at our elementary school has prepped for this event; we worked with students to make posters, promoted the event all over the school and arranged for healthy snacks and Safe Routes …
TGIF. And I’m Not Kidding About That
[HA! I know it’s Monday now. Honest. But it’s just too funny that after the whole crazy week last week, I sat down Friday night to write a more upbeat post, and guess what? It didn’t upload for some reason, and I didn’t know it. A fitting end to a crazy week. So I’ve decided …
Midweek Miscellanea
This morning I had my first meeting for the Safe Routes to School group for our district. I was a lightweight participant with this group last year – actually I was more accurately a featherweight last year, but I think with my newly rediscovered love of chocolate croissants I’m fixing that little glitch. Even though …
Comedy of Errors
One day last week, I was riding along on my way to pick the kids up from school on Wednesday, when I saw someone open up their driver side door about a block ahead of me. It’s a pretty busy street so I gave a quick glance over my shoulder and moved my bike out …
Greedy Wheels
Last weekend I decided it was time for a little bike spa. Hot Wheels and I ride down to my dance class together twice a week, and in the mornings around the full moon the path is often completely flooded in places. It’s usually quite an adventure with some off-roading through the scrub grasses to …
