While it is probably too hot and humid to bicycle to coaching class this evening, I'm feeling a little guilty about both my diet and the limited prospects for cycling later this week, so I saddle up and head out.

Now that my current summer reading choice has me shifting away from the "tree-hugging" bent towards the more literary (hello, Lord of the Flies), I am trying to keep a sustainable perspective and not lose any impetus gained from last week's reading of Farewell, My Subaru... I find that if my actions (in this case, the more challenging cycling rather than easier--and more inconsiderate--automobile driving) reflect this deeper desire to be conscientious, other more postive behaviors (local diet) are more apt to follow... and away I go!

Breathe in, breathe out... YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
