Oh, this delightful fall weather! I put on pants! and a sweater! and rode my bike to work in the clear and sunny morning.

The sun came out again today thank goodness. I hadn’t ridden my bicycle in two whole days–which is a really long time. I was getting itchy. So after riding to and from work today I took Jack out for a long ride around Mid-City.
