cycling in sleet

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.12.15

One of the hidden benefits of having lived on a foreign coast of the Pacific for five years: I'd forgotten how much freezing rain stings when you're cycling in it.

I managed to find what I hope will be a well-received X'mas gift for my wife. I feel it was worth the nasty cycling. Which was compounded by not one but two door prizes on the way home despite it being mid-afternoon and despite my day-glo vest.
