Apologies for not writing in awhile.
First of all, I have to say I am really enjoying my trike. Accumulated distance since I started riding: 64.5 miles. Most of that has been accomplished on Lansing's River Trail.

I've been on almost every part of it thus far except for about a quarter mile on the northern end and the route from Potter Park to East Lansing. But I plan on hitting that last bit in the next day or so. One of the best things about this new adventure is that the arthritis in my knee isn't bothering me any more.
Really, this isn't a new adventure, really. I spent a lot of time riding my bike in my youth, during college, and then for about four or five years in the late 1980s--early 1990s. My old Schwinn Collegiate is still sitting in the garage--the one I was given for Christmas in 1967.
And really, I have been on that Potter Park-to-MSU route--just not recently.
I've started singing again in one of the choirs here in town. And it's very healing. We're singing some very lovely music--some I've sung before, and some new and lovely works.
Elvis keeps working to cheer me up. He's a never-ending source of amusement; every time I take him outside, he checks the perimeter of the yard to make sure it's safe. Then, he sits in one of the lawn chairs...and watches for critters.

There's a squirrel that taunts him every day. Yesterday, this squirrel was really driving Elvis crazy. Thankfully, the squirrel runs fast...but one of these days...

| Catch me if you can! |

Well, that's about it right now...I have a lot of things to be thankful for...it's just that the nights are so lonely--though a pair of nice soft beagle ears does help.
More soon.
