Something about Spring

I have a fascination with raincoats and this beautiful Cohen song redone by Tori Amos.


It's been rainy married with cold the last few days.  I am desperate to ride my little Schwinn out and about.  I miss my little bike.  When I lived in New Orleans I didn't have a car for three and 1/2 years. The lay of the land was flat and idea for cycling, unlike Maryland's rolling hillsides.  Life on a bike is so completely different than the metal bubble of a car.  When peddling, I had to be extremely aware of cars, people, nature, chaos, and randomness.  I was sensually alive and living in the moment.  
Plus, I miss the regular forced exercise just for transportation.

Well, until the weather clears I will don a raincoat and a longing for my little red bike.
