Hard to believe it's Thanksgiving already. Part of it is that the weather's been so mild. I'm all excited about cold weather biking, and we did have a week there when I got to break out some gear, but now? A little bit of overkill. Almost getting too hot on the rides in to work. Still only getting a a comment or so a week about the Revolights. Does sound like I'm pretty visible with them. I do wonder how the rear lights look with the fender. On Sunday took Lucy to a couple playgrounds, and then lunch with the grandparents at Soupbox. The ride back was the first one where Lucy cried the whole way home. She started because she wanted to keep eating, even though we went through that process a couple of times. Then she pulled her feet out of the shoes which were strapped in. Then on the way home she was crying because she wanted a kleenex to wipe her tears. Then she cried because she wanted to give me the kleenex. Then she cried because she wanted a kleenex again. Then she cried because she wanted to put her shoes on. So that was me, riding up Halsted, with a crying baby in a plastic weather shield on the back of an Xtracycle. Good times. Finally got a haircut too. Needed it. Picked up dinner Sunday night from Mia Francesca. Took maybe 40 minutes from calling in the order to putting it on the table after picking it up on my bike. So easy. Tracy's working Thanksgiving, so my parents are having it at their condo.
