It wasn’t much of a day for bike riding for me. I was just so, so tired today, and I think my legs were begging for a bit of a break. So I gave it to them, mostly, and just took the bike out to run a few errands. On my way back from the [...]

Today was the last day of school, and it was bittersweet. I’m happy for summer–time to get my research and writing done, ride my bike, dance outside, and swimswimswim. At the same time, I had some really outstanding students this term, and I’m sad to say goodbye to them, especially the graduating seniors.

Sometimes wonderful things fall in to your lap. Today, it was floor seats under the basket to the Hornets/Nuggets playoff game tonight. D. called asking if N. and I might want to accompany her. Um…yeah!

It’s Jazz Fest weekend, something one can’t fail to notice here in New Orleans. I spent yesterday at the fest in Lafayette and today recovering. But when folks were gathering on a porch in Mid-City this evening, I decided to hop on my bike and head over there to watch the crowds stumble home and [...]

Jazz Fest is here in New Orleans, and the weather just couldn’t be better for it. I’m not going this weekend, opting instead for the more affordable and more my speed Festival International Louisiane in Lafayette. Before heading off for music galore, though, I decided to take a day riding around this beautiful town, away [...]

I actually thought I might miss riding my bike today, due to some timing problems on my end, but fortunately K. called after her ride on the levee looking for company while she ate her dinner. I hopped on Rhoda and headed to her neighborhood.

Yep, another beautiful day in New Orleans, as evidenced by the sky in this picture. I decided to take an easy ride today, as I’m a little sore from the past week of near-constant riding. After work I took Jack down to the Marigny to do a little writing at the coffee shop. Then we [...]

I read myself to sleep last night with a bike repair book, so woke up with an urgent need to clean and maintain my bikes. Rhoda’s chain has been skipping a lot lately, and even the pedaling has felt off. So I treated her to a new chain, and she feels so, so much better. [...]
Blue Sky in the Marigny

I got a new digital camera. Mine went missing back on Valentine’s Day, off to share the love with someone else, I presume. I finally saved enough to get a new one and was excited to take it out for a spin on the bike today. Rhoda and I rode to work today, and the [...]
