Bucket List alert: I rented a bike and rode around Central Park today. (Why not my beloved hometown Prospect Park? Because the bike rental industry is not as well developed here. You have to rent for the whole day, for example, rather than by the hour.) It was a gorgeous day and these modern bikes are so easy to ride, it was really fun.

For those of you who pray, I've applied for a job I really, really want to interview for. For those of you who bribe, email me for further information.

My high school friend Jo Lynn Terry would have been 54 today. She was older than I was so I always think of her as being older than me, but she was killed when she was 23, just a baby.

And I just noticed the irony--she was killed riding her bike.
