Consecutive bicycle work commute number 1795:

17°F this morning, but the crosswind was only about 10 mph so it wasn't bad at all. Most days our high temps have been above freezing, so we're having an unseasonably warm December so far. No snow currently in the forecast. Starting to look probable that we're going to have a brown Christmas.

I try to commute at least 3,000 miles by bicycle every year. This morning I hit the 3k mark right as I reached the office, so took a photo to commemorate the occasion.

Speaking of commemorating the occasion, my son is going to finish high school today. It's been an extremely rough road to get him to this point, but he finally made it. He doesn't want my wife and I telling anyone because he's embarrassed that everyone else his age graduated three years ago. We're abiding by his wishes, but it's really difficult because this is huge and we want to tell all our friends and family. I figure it's safe to tell you all because nobody knows him personally, and at least that way I can share it with someone.
