No commute today. My wife and I had an appointment this morning and she dropped me off at the office. I rode the bus home. I guess it's been so long since I took the bus that they raised the fare on me. Hanging out at the bus stop downtown: interesting people-watching opportunity. And no commute Monday (it's a holiday in the USA) and I am off next week to attend my cousin's wedding in Chicago. Northbrook, actually, where I understand there's a velodrome. I may have to check it out even though I'll be bikeless.
