return of lulu

 balmy day. sunshine. 13 degrees. lust for adventure. i freed lulu from her shed prison and pumped up her tires.

rode to south arm. had an embarrassing moment involving 'stage fright' at the intersection, and fumbling my start 3 humiliating times and finally shakily walking lulu across. the rest of the ride i had do some soothing self-talk at every start.  happy to report no more incidents. on the way back at that same intersection i even complimented a lady on her hearts fleece jacket 😍.

the canal was full of ducks. well i should say the banks of the canal were full of bowling ball ducks. park was full of people. tennis players, walkers, soccer game, chinese dancers, etc. i enjoyed being out with everyone.

i stopped at a bench by josaidy's texted her, saw the elders, then bro la barbera and their cute cuddly dog minnie who spent the whole time on my lap.

when i got home mom was in the yard and we went for a walk around the park.  then i had a red face, put away my huge pile of clothes, and listened to tbe lgbtq+ fireside which was so good.
