I rode in on Tuesday morning, and while at work, someone offered to sell a ticket to a Mostly Mozart in Lincoln Center in the evening. I took up her offer. Lincoln Center is two-thirds of the way between work and home, and I didn't want to rush home on the bike, change clothes, and then shlep back up to the concert, so I left my bike at the office and kept my Clark Kent outfit on. I took the subway to the concert and then home and did the reverse yesterday morning. The concert was actually all Mozart, his first symphony, his 12th piano concerto, and his last symphony!

Yesterday after work, I rode to meet a friend halfway along the way home and sat with him at a sidewalk table at the Hungarian Pastry Shop near Columbia University. I was wearing my Superman outfit, all hot and sweaty. Why do these clothes feel great while riding and sweating but awful when sitting still? Can't they do anything about that? After getting home, I took my second shower for the day and tried to stay cool for the rest of the night. We don't have A/C in the apartment, and it was a challenge. Maybe I should put a unit in the bedroom for these worst nights of the summer.
