Just An Ordinary Day

Today was an odd day...One of those days where you have lots of stuff to do, but you feel like you are moving in slow motion and time is flying. By the time I finished my laundry it was noontime. I had promised to go out riding with Cathy and we had decided to have a picnic, or actually just pick up some deli sandwich's and head down to Fort Mason to relax. It was a beautiful day, so I was glad to get out.

Going through the Presidio was a chore considering all the construction going on. I'm sure it will be great when they're done. They're replacing Doyle Drive and cutting a lot of trees to do so. There are some nice new sweeping views being created, I just hope they don't tear down to many of the beautiful old trees.

As we were going down one of the new bike paths, guy on a tour bike was going the opposite way from us and he asked me a question on the fly. I should have kept going because we had a full head of steam, but I stopped and quickly turned back to engage him. Unfortunately when we started back up we were on a slight uphill and Cathy had a little difficulty getting into one of her pedals and just toppled over. I couldn't believe how banged up she was over such a little fall. Nothing serious, but a few bruises, scrapes and a bit of anger. I got her moving again, but I felt bad and kind of responsible, I shouldn't have stopped us like that. We ended up grabbing sandwich's and hanging out in the sunshine to eat and enjoy the day. We did get some nice pictures.

Not a whole lot going on...I think I just felt like posting some pictures. I haven't been doing enough of that lately...
