Bikin' to Catch Artie Fowl

To & From Barnes & Noble: 9.5 miles @ 1:00 p.m.
Weather: Partly Cloudy, 79°F, 52% Humidity, Wind: SSW @ 9 mph; feels like 80°F.

After taking the short drive to my neighborhood bottle redemption center and "making" nearly five dollars, I returned home, printed off the online coupon and headed out to Barnes & Noble on my bicycle to purchase a copy of Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox by Eoin Colfer, for my stepson, who had enjoyed the previous books in the series.

Though the novel came out on Tuesday, due to other obligations, I hadn't had the opportunity to get to the store, but with no school today, I figured I could use the bike ride.

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