today I "biked to work"

I joined Cycle Toronto's "bike to work" thing today for the first time; it was fun, there were hundreds of cyclists involved. Yes, it was slow and awkward and they held us up for a media thing at Yonge and Bloor that was a bit perplexing for those of us so far back from the action with the TV crews. But it was nice to participate now that I'm a member (and a volunteer).

rand()m quote

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
