reborn

while i am not a christian, there is something powerful about the easter story that resonates with springtime. the world does indeed seem to have come back to life - and even i feel reborn (uh, not in the jerry falwell/pat robertson way..., uh, you know what i mean)....

did some skating yesterday and had two bike rides today - one in the beloved trails of my local metropark (stuck to the well maintained ones...the crushed stones, the more basic trails were a quagmire) then a functional ride to the pharmacy...i am going to try and pick up where i left off last fall - riding my bike for errands and even to work...it's a win-win - great workout - good for the environment and at $2+ per gallon, every little bit helps...i was kinda wiped out - not sure if it was a case of too much too soon - or perhaps my recovery is effect4ed by being a vegetarian, or what.... the few hours after cycling i feel as relaxed as i ever have...

had a nice dinner with some friends last night - maybe i'm *not* a social misfit - well, not a total one...

remind me to write about some great books i've read by barry schwartz - oh yeah - and still diggin' star wars lego!!!
