At Jim and Lucy’s with Archie and Sandy. Archie is recovering from back surgery so this was a big outing for him, 2 houses down from Jim and Lucy’s.

Pete’s wife Suzanne came with us to William Pond Park along the American River Parkway. Suzanne drove my car home, Pete and I rode back. It was about 20 beautiful miles.

I was the 30th house in our neighborhood to receive this personal concert. So fun. The drum is called a RavVast. I encourage everyone who reads this to go to Kirk’s YouTube channel to watch more of his performances. He’s currently creating an “Isolation” series of songs. Click on this link: Kirk Talon

Lucy got her bike out, dusted it off, got it serviced, bought a helmet and gloves, and went for her first ride in a very long time.

I loved her husband Jim’s response. He text me later in the afternoon: “Whatever you did today, KEEP IT UP!! Lucy is revitalized!!!” A ringing endorsement for bicycling. Thanks Jim.

Everybody is making masks. I used lots of scraps. Lucy gave me the Halloween fabric.



Meanwhile, in Montana, Dave is taking some extra precautions:

We loaded our bikes onto my car and drove to the Crocker Art Gallery.

Pete’s wife Suzanne came with us and drove my car home. Their son, Danny, rode in from South Sacramento to ride with us. Danny teaches 5th grade at Dry Creek Elementary in Rio Linda. Another small-world connection: one long-retired and now deceased teacher at Dry Creek – Ray Lafevere – was a classmate in Pete’s 3rd grade class.

We rode to Sac State and then back through the city to home. 20 miles!

I rode to Jim and Lucy’s and back.
