BikeRide (3), originally uploaded by Kluv32.

Today was a beautiful day back East. One of those summer days so perfect; filled with coolcrispclean air and the warming glow of the sun's heat lamp. I knew this, even though I sat in my office all day (away from the windows). So, when the school bell rang, I hoofed it double-time to get back home.

Ran upstairs, put on some shorts, hopped on my bike. I took off up the road and headed towards Hoboken, running like the wind from the sunset on my left. It was delicious. (The bikes, our recent aquisition, are everything I could hope them to be. I forgot how much I enjoyed riding as a kid -- the freedom, the breeze in your face, all of it!) So I pedaled around; in, at, away from the sun. I snapped a few pictures (you can see them in my flickr) and enjoyed the moments. A peep at the block J2S and Molls will be moving to next month. A group of people performing some sort of choreographed dancing underneath the light rail tracks (at least twenty!). The sun setting -- watching the glow slowly extinguish itself upon the buildings across the river.

It was a good day.

I hope you had one, too.

(And, after just watching "When the Levees Broke: Part I & II", it made me even more thankful for days like this...)
