I just had a great conversation with my sister Misty, who returned last night from her two months in the Galapagos. She’d been posting updates on our family news page, including some nifty pics, and I’d even IM’ed with her once from there (ain’t that crazy?).
The timing was really cool and we got to talk about Greg Nelson’s speech last night, which was cool. (I definitely recommend Pharyngula’s nice report of events.)
Another Misty connection is that the weather’s nice and all our bikes are out of the basement and on the road again! Mine’s been out for nigh on a month, which was arguably premature (it sat in the snow and rain a fair bit), but we brought the other two out a week or two ago. It’s been wonderful riding around town again, and riding in to school with Sub-Evil Boy in the morning. Misty gets big kudos for helping Sub-Evil learn to ride a bike and helping me buy a nice bike when we were in Duluth. This then created the environment where WeatherGirl bought a bike, and we’re all rolling – hurrah!
