If my writing is illegible in any way, it is because I have had over 1/2 bottle of wine, which is a lot for me. I am so sad that I finally sold my bike, Daisy, today. I sold her to a very nice couple from Mill Valley, and she will be ridden, but I miss her so much. She reminds me of what I miss most about NYC - my commute along the Hudson River Parkway. One of the most beautiful commutes in the world. I know Northern CA is very beautiful, but you do not have the architecture mixed with nature on your bike paths. I'm feeling very sad for my lost time alone on a bike that I love. So, I am listening to the songs I used to listen to on my daily rides and feeling very lonely for that bit of myself that got lost when I became a mother. Songs like this on the stereo now..."Barracuda"...how can a mother listen to that like a single woman would? With a little bit of jealousy of that single woman, that's how. Oh, if I could only live my 20's and early 30's over again!
I can't believe I had to sell my bike - I feel like I sold myself.
Hi Jessica,
Thank you for commenting on my blog. I noticed your sadness about you sweet bike. Oh I feel for you. I will keep an eye on it in M.V I hope your well

In the long way to the academic grade students have to buy thesis examples referring to this good topic from the thesis writing service or professional dissertations writing service.
