Been riding my bike to work lately. You see, hear, smell,
think a lot more on a bike than in a car. Two things I saw today:
1) We are in the middle of another one-week season, that of the Catalpa blossoms. For the record, I friggin love Catalpas. Gnarly and wretched all winter, giant, spade-shaped leaves in the spring, orchid-like flowers in early summer, foot-long seed pods in the fall. Now that's a sweet tree!
2) Sense of humor in a crappy neighborhood. Check out the basketball hoop at the top of the building. I don't know if it's a joke or a challenge, but either way, I love it.
