Photo week – Friday

A photo (or two) a day meant to express everything that needs to be said. Don’t over extrapolate or strain yourself making too many inferences. They are just pictures.

Soon. I should be riding my bike in the trainer more. I want to ride it on the road. I got a new helmet this week, a surprise gift from my lovely mother. And now I just need to buy a new tire, wait another week or so to get back out onto the road.

It is strange. I’m in a rush to get back to normal, but the lingering pain says “Ease back into it.”

I’m siding with discretion on this.

We had a nice discussion online about the New York Times use of graphic user-submitted art after the shooting near the Empire State Building. Someone asked my thoughts on Facebook and took a screen capture for wider posterity:

Dr. John Carvalho, a journalism professor at Auburn, was kind enough to share it as well.

(Incidentally, I wrote that will spinning down on the bike trainer.)

Come have a tomato with me! We picked up our basket o’ vegetables today, and there are four giant, beautiful red ones in the bottom. I still have two or three left from last week’s basket.

I love a good tomato, but in our house I am the tomato eater. And if you don’t eat them with almost every meal they pile up.

I don’t care for cherry tomatoes too much. I’d rather have grapes. We have a ton of grapes.

Come have grapes with me!

Saw this guy today, on the largest unicycle I’ve ever seen in person. He was handling it well, talented guy.

There are quite a few unicycle riders in town.

Time to get ready for another great school year. I’ve been getting ready — email and strategies and studying up — for some time. But I bought two copies of the newest version of the AP Stylebook today, that somehow made it more real.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town:

At rehab I’ve moved up to three pound weights! Three pounds! I’m so strong!

I also do more reps than they tell me too, because I am lousy in the gym. All the numbers you find there, to my mind, are really meant to be exceeded every time rather than a consistent goal. So naturally my shoulder protests a bit.

But I know I’m stronger than three pound weights.

It doesn’t seem possible that this is only my second week of physical therapy.
