Last night, going home, it was cool and misty. I finally got the reward I was waiting for, A TAILWIND! I really enjoyed it.

I should have ridden my bike today. The subway had huge problems, and my one-hour trip took two hours and 45 minutes. It sounds awful, but it wasn't. I walked part of the way, through the neighborhood where I lived when I was in college. I walked up to my old apartment building and took some pictures. It was a bit of an adventure. Eventually, I got on a bus which was super crowded and tempers were flaring. The best thing about it was that I wasn't driving a car. After almost three years of being back in the city, I am still happy and grateful about that.
