Pippy you hot
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go shawty
It's your birthday
We gon' party like it's yo birthday
We gon' sip Bacardi like it's your birthday
And you know we don't give a f***
It's not your birthday!

Ah yes, my birthday comes early! In the form of a beautiful spring day in Chicago, a little bit misty but otherwise not bad for biking!
Today I took My Little Pony over to the bike shop to get the tack – yes, a thumb tack! I don't know how it got there, and suspected fowl play at the time I discovered it, when I came out to the bike rack outside the Jewel, and there it was, on the top side of the tire! And wondered what this world was coming to, for gawds sakes, what with lunatics running around with tacks just to harrass hapless bicyclists! Just a little bit of my thought process at the time! I got over it! – removed from her front tire. The bike shop boys were flirty and unhelpful as usual, but did pluck the tack out (Complete with funny cartoon hissing sound! Oh, it was a sad moment for Pippy and her tire! ) and patch the tire up. (Somehow I couldn't flirt them into patching it for free, am I losing my touch??) Anyway, I chalked it up to a birthday present, because now I don't have to think about it, and also picked out a shiny new blinky light, with optional helmet or seat-post mounting, while I was waiting. And how can one be uncheered with a shiny new blinky light, I ask you, in spite of the depressing fact of turning 34 in a matter of days?? Ah yes, 34, and yet am told I look not a day over 27, unless you look closely, because then, if you know what you are looking for, you can tell. I had an inkling that this was the case, but it was also pointed out to me recently.
So anyway, after the bike shop I rode a bit on my bouncy, freshly patched and pumped up tire, oh yes, and stopped for a celebratory pre-birthday muffin, and did some sock knitting.
Its a slow news day.
More later.
