After Earth Day

I called Lara this afternoon, wondering if there was anything going on across
the river. She replied that indeed there was plenty of stuff to do, so I drove
on over. I borrowed her husband's
bike and we biked over to an Earth Day celebration in progress at Sunnyside Park
(near 33rd and Belmont). It was the first time that I'd ridden a bike in
several years; fortunately, I wasn't so clumsy as to faceplant on the sidewalk.
Though I was tempted to several times. We went on a crazy meandering twisty
path through SE, avoiding the major boulevards and cris-crossing a whole lot of
unfamiliar streets tucked away in places you'd never find in a car.
