some monarchs at last

My son and I must have seen a dozen monarch butterflies in the city today as we rode "Bells on Danforth". That's a pro-cycling-safety ride, unlike the other 364 days in the year.

Three good things that happened today:

  1. The cycle event had great turnout and Ken reported that he had fun.
  2. It was cool and cloudy and rain clouds threatened, but we avoided actual rain
  3. I've rescheduled the hang-gliding tandem for next week; not next year as I'd feared
