"New Ride at Old Haunt"
I'm enjoying the new e-bike and feeling the result of getting movement for a few days. The pulled muscle on my right thigh directly correlates to my mounting approach! High kicks are not a part of my regular routines. Kelly and Velma came by last night for an impromptu visit, and we had a great time. We enjoy their character and always have very engaging conversations. Tommy was around for much of it, and it was rewarding to have him engaged, too, with primarily positive input and insight. He still has moments of condescension, but they are diminishing. I'm working gradually on parts of the book, with three chapters taking shape. It's a challenge, on numerous levels, to take a vision and pull a cohisine intimate narrative onto paper. But I will. I have to. Yet as usual, my attention span continues to bounce, either incidentally such as a recent faucet issue, or by choice, such as the e-bike and the idea of a podcast of local neighborhood back stories. I get way too many ideas. There week ahead will hopefully see the BMW being sold, some appointments being made, my mom's resumption of chemo, and my body adapting to biking again.
