Warm spell

I hopped on my bike today to ride over to Mill Rd to visit my favorite Asian grocery store, and amazingly, I didn't need to wear either hat or gloves. Nice mild temperatures-- things have definitely warmed up. Can spring be on the way??? I hope so (and having written this, I hope we don't get a snow storm tomorrow). The shopping trip was a bust, unfortunately-- the store was completely out of tofu. I'll have to postpone my "mapo tofu" dinner until next week.

Amy is biking in to work this week, since I need the car to drive the kids up to the Chesterton Sports Center for their half term entertainment. She has been borrowing my bike for her commute, since it is in slightly better shape than hers (I took hers for my trip to the market). Both our bikes are a little elderly at this point, but hers seems to "complain" the most -- it has a whole repertoire of weird creaking and clicking noises. Time to buy her a new one... although maybe not until we get back to the USA.
