Hey y’all, lately it’s hard to tell whether I’ll post from a coffee shop, my soon-to-be Pollak-ified white Corolla, or in an Uber/Lyft/Toro with a new friend (usually the driver)! But I’m most excited about financing a new Trek bike: an e-bike for my cross-country roadtrips and a cute little classic community bike that I’ll ride around Boston: I’m sick of losing that precious Corolla. :)
For the moment, keep it real, and do your best to move through the world like it’s your favorite day of the week … move confidently toward what you love and slow down with a dismissive yet loving scowl when you see the systems coming unraveled. Lately, I love it when someone honks at me for slowing down traffic. This is a gift of middle age: you become a divining rod capable of sniffing out what’s not working for our society. You don’t want the credit, you just want each neighborhood to protect its Crown Jewels (the kids, silly)!

(side note - this is not me today, this is me a few days ago! today I’m doing great in my favorite coffee bar - just hanging out with friends before I head home)
