Wonderful ride in this morning. My daughter was sick so my wife is staying home with her today. So I asked my son if he'd like to ride his bike to preschool instead of taking the minivan.

"Oh, yeah!" He insisted on wearing his bike jersey and I put a change of clothes for him in a musette. We took a quieter route through midtown than I normally take. Lucas pointed out the garbage trucks, the light rail, the news helicopter hovering over the Hwy 50/99 traffic jam.

Just a wonderful morning.
