Connecticut, and that city south of it

Spent a good three days in NYC with T, doing some treacherous city riding, which was an entertaining change of pace from touring. T and his 7 year old daughter, I, commute by bike ten miles every day to and from school, from the south Bronx to Manhattan. Pretty badass for a seven year old.

T and I emptied and reorganized his bike closet, replaced the pump in his washing machine, and I did a major cleaning of their fridge while they were gone. Also got to hang out with their ridiculous cane corso (another name for an Italian Mastiff) and equally ridiculous hairless Egyptian cat. I've started calling their condo The Menagerie.

Then I rode up, with a little distance assistance from the MNR, to J's brother and sister's house west of Hartford, for a very pleasant dinner, laundry, bed, getting my malpractice insurance renewal together, and most importantly, spending time with their three adorable children. They are all delightful, and almost creepy smart. I love other people's children!

Today is an easy day, due to the death of camping and hotels in eastern Connecticut. Hugely looking to Boston.
