cycling light with a backpack.

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2014.10.31

I've decided to forgo my pannier and rack, for a while, in favor of a water-proof backpack. My nice, light, new bike doesn't deserve all that ungainly weight at the back!

Curiously, the lift bridge on Cherry street was up for a third time this week. That's still only three times in the 20 years since I first moved here, but the charm is beginning to wear off.

Happy Hallowe'en! I'm going to be the man in the yellow hat to The Girl's "Curious George".

The best way to get most husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps they're too old to do it.
