on the spur of the moment, greg and i decided to have an early morning bike ride.
we rode to chambers street and looked out over the river. we stopped at a place we don't usually stop at, and were treated to a plaque with information about frederick douglass. it was at this approximate location that he landed on the shores of new york on september 4, 1838 . . one hundred eighty three years ago . .
it was actually rather cold this morning. i had dressed in only a sweater and a down vest and no gloves (which greg was smart enough to wear). my hands felt frozen and numb on the ride home, and i also had trouble with the citibike gear. it was stuck on the hardest to pedal, and after climbing the stairs into the apartment, i felt physically exhausted. i think i'm very out of shape, and need to ride more often.
we also had a family zoom call today. it was short as korrina was out with friends for her day off, and morgan was traveling and unable to phone in. greg was fooling around and zooming from his computer while chanda and i were on her computer.
another batch of letters went out to arizona . .
i made a roast chicken this evening, with carrots and potatoes; which i haven't done in a while . .
do you see the heart shaped potato, next to the carrots on the plate? (from our local farmer at the green market - muddy farms.)
