Oot and Aboot!

There have already been a lot of benefits to reducing my teaching hours this semester. I can devote more vigor to the hours I'm teaching and I am more relaxed when not. This morning was a prime example of how nice it is to be free. As it was a nice sunny morning, I was able to get right out in it.


I keep the battery to my electric bike in the entry closet and it's always fully charged. It was easy to unchain my Ecoped from my parking stall, slip in the battery, and head out on a little jaunt.

I just went over to Queensborough, a part of my city. Recent bridge work has provided bicycle lanes to match up to the extensive bike paths in the area. Although it will be about 10C (50F) today, the sun was shining on my face. Gloves kept my fingers warm. The air was refreshing.
