I had the good fortune to add 3.5 miles to today's total. With the good wife and 'L' gone to camp, the big one and I had free reign. My mother made the generous offer to cook for us tonight. She, in fact, is an excellent cook and we rarely have a bad meal there. On Monday I took a pic of my sausage and peppers dish. Mom prepared rigatoni with tomatoes and browned sausage. She also made a bow-tie pasta, mozzarella, home grown greens and tomato salad. She also included some homemade bread and a good bottle of wine. Forza mama!! To get over there, I dragged 'Z' out of the house and onto his bike. He has a scaled-down KHS mtbike, on which I mounted those cool tires with a slick middle and side knobbies for traction. Eventfully, on the way there he came out from the curb to miss a parked car. That was fine. Then, instead of going back toward the curb or going straight, he veered left into me. Boom! Crunch! Creak! Amazingly, no one went down. I really thought he was going to. There was no harm done save the fact that the crunch tweaked my (not bad yet) ankle. Who'da thunk you could get an ankle injury in a non-wreck? The rest of the short commute was uneventful, and the return trip in the dark was fine. We had to come up the Lakeside hill to get home- we're talking a .2 hill that can be taken casually. He went right up like a squirrel, while I was huffing hauling my fat ass uphill. Maybe it's time for the young 'un to have the chance of making the old man look bad doing some miles.

Great nice and great company. Is there anything else?
