i got out on my bike today and it was slow and icy and exhausting and absolutely necessary. i have GOT to figure out how to get more exercise during the winter months but i say that every year and i haven’t cracked the code yet. but today was a good day.

“For example, letters, numbers, leaves, and rocks are all asymmetrical.”
