One day, I popped in to the kennel at which I got my start and back on my feet after college and later managed. I was there for 8 years. When the bosses found out what I was doing and what I needed, they were gracious enough to offer me more time and better pay than I was getting at the other place. Not only is it in the same zip code, it's an easy bike ride from my house. I was all hot-to-trot to be able to ride my bike to work.
It's almost a year later, and I finally rode my bike to work today! It was wonderful and took all of 12 minutes to get there.On the ride home I saw and heard at least two dozen Baltimore orioles among other things. It made my day. It really is the little things in life.

Proud of you for biking to work. Way to go. That is the biggest thing besides family that I miss about Florida. I used to bike all the time but the Ozarks would give Lance Armstrong pause so I am stuck with stationary biking on the porch. Really miss it.
Thanks, Patti. We really have some nice areas around here including a newly expanded bike path that I've mentioned before. Hoping to take a ride on that with a blog to follow soon.
I will give you a ride home if you dare ride here.
Remember your reflective vest.
Have Fun!
Do you have a horn or bell so when you pass my house you can toot?? I too wanted to ride my bike to work but all of you said I would be road kill in a week, bummer,!! Have fun!
Gia - when I was a kid I would ride all over the place, including the main Rt we take to work. I wouldn't go near it now. Way too many idiots drunks, and druggies behind the wheel. Sad.
Oh, and no horn or bell. I can yell or something. :)
I have contemplated the Bike thing as well - But as you know I am always running late as it is......
