What a ride!

Just received this lovely little life motto, and felt like sharing:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

And speaking of rides... took a huge one yesterday, from my apartment on the Upper East Side, across the park, down the Hudson River bike trail, past the Intrepid, all the way down to the World Financial Center, around the tip of Manhattan, up past the South Street Seaport, over the Brooklyn Bridge to meet Anja for a late lunch, back across the bridge again, and up the East River bike paths, til they give out below the UN, then up 1st avenue for a bit, and back on paths in the 60s til I hit stairs on 81st Street, and biked the rest of the way home. Woooheee! Got a lovely little sunburn, and a great workout.

And, to top it all off, I made level 40 last night on City of Heroes, and get to pick out a new and exciting outfit. Humina-humina!
