Sunday morning was chilly, even at 9:00 when we were leaving for church. Robin was volunteering at Race for the Cure, and was up at 3:00 am. She didn't take her beanie off until 10:00, that's how cold it was. As we were biking home from our attempt to get to church (Casson got a flat tire at Glendale), we found ourselves pedalling next to a goofy old gentleman who talked a little like Eeyore and little like a drunken Bugs Bunny. He was sort of muttering to himself about the design of our bike trailer. I believe he mentioned that he was some kind of engineer. It was hard to hear him, as he had his coat collar up to protect his neck and face from the wind. He was riding a nine year-old Schwinn cruiser modelled after the 1955 Phantom. His eyes were shaded with bifocal sunglasses, and gripping the handlebars were two large hands sheathed with workman's gloves. "Well, come Monday I'll have to put away the bike, and start driving," he mumbled, sounding disappointed. "Been biking since March, but it's getting too cold. I'm a desert rat. I prefer 112 to the 50's anyday."
Nadine had Tuesday off, so we went over for an afternoon of Japanese cherry blossom tea, and some Indian desserts that look like baklava but melt like cotton candy.
Uncle Mister Josh got home from work and made some traditional monkey faces for Selah, and Aunt Miss Nadine avoided eye contact with the camera again.
