Mental victory in my swim yesterday dealing with gear malfunctions. Automatic bicycles being marketed to increase bicycle rider population. Not enough time spent on the dilemma of finding $10. The ethics of finding items. Does the item's value affect whether or not it's taken?

My thoughts on planting wild flowers from seed packets into three furrows. The frustration of Kaiser Permanete's website registration process. It's absolutely inane. I discuss why I want to go to the doctor and musings on aging. Animals and physical activity is the last topic.

A leaden reading of the prologue of "Canterbury Tales" leads into musings and general associations of Chaucer. Why did she copy the prologue? Wet legs courtesy of the rain soaked bunch grasses, a tight squeeze through the chained gate, and plans for the second half of the AT.

I start off with a recount of yesterday's stomach problems and rescheduling the bike ride to work for Tuesday. Last part of the show, I discuss some of my favorite poets.

Some thoughts on bird songs. My reaction to the Virginia Tech massacre. Initial impressions of _The Devil In The White City_. Plans to bike to work tomorrow.

Patriots Day, Boston Marathon. National Library Week started yesterday. Questioned by two men, extra-tight squeeze through the chained track gate interrupts my discussion of poetry. I read Hafiz's "Absolutely Clear" and Henley's "Invictus".

Plane travel to Connecticut in my future. Report on my brick workout on Wednesday and my failed swim workout on Thursday.

Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, an upcoming field trip plus childhood memories. Finally finished my taxes. Planning a trip to Connecticut. An UPM (Unidentified Phone Message). Triathlon training woes -- 10 weeks out from my race.

Sister-in-law in a play. Lent is over thus my return to the library. My vision of what libraries can be. Fresh pavement on the hill.
