Hot

Okay so it's October and it's 85 degrees and I put away the air conditioners last week. Do I really have to keep the A/C up until November now? @#$* global warming.

But we got outside and had some fun today, I took Mira mountain biking on some dirt trails in the woods for the first time up in Shoreview -- it was pretty muddy but there were a lot of fun jumps and ramps and stuff, we both had a blast but Mira had one (very impressive) wipeout where she landed off a jump and went literally flying right over her handlebars -- came out of it pretty muddy, but largely undamaged. :-)

Kris took Mira to her art class now, so I'm relaxing with Sparky. Mountain biking is fun but it's really intense exercise, much more than I expected. Like lifting weights and hiking at the same time.
