Today was the first day of 4th grade. Jake’s friends have all come back into town after their summer vacations, so we spent the weekend with Jake and his friends. I had a full work day today, so I didn’t get to go to the first day of school. I normally love the first day, because it’s a good chance to see what plastic surgeries the mommies got over the summer. I feel cheated (although I’m told that the most noteworthy surgery was male).
I went for a long and eventful bike ride yesterday. We got lost a few times, and ultimately one of my friends got an unrecoverable flat. Word to the wise – if you’re going to ride a bike with oddball size wheels, make sure you have the correct replacement tube. On the other hand, on the two hour trip back home I had the inspired idea to stop at the Frosted Lemonade truck in Coconut Grove. It was a world-class experience. Truly the perfect break at the perfect time.
There was supposed to be a record store visit yesterday, but I gave it up so we could have dim sum with friends. That was worth it. On the other hand, I allocated time to watch the Aston Villa game on TV, and they got crushed 6-0 by Newcastle. That wasn’t worth it.
Music of the Moment – Gerry Rafferty, City to City (1978, on the original vinyl). I frequently use Baker Street as a test song to try out stereo components. The sax solo is one of the more memorable moments in 1970’s album oriented radio (“AOR”).
