Bike Commuter SLC: Back at it (and commutes #19

It's been about six weeks since my last post. It's not that there's been nothing worth noting (although a blog ostensibly about bike commuting in Salt Lake sets the bar pretty low), but more due to the fact of my computer located in my son's room, and the only time available for blogging being after lights out. Now that I've moved my computer to another part of the house, I'll be able to blog more, or at least fritter away more time on the internet. Anyway, here are the things that stand out in my mind since my last post (BTW the commutes have been pretty mellow... steady at 4 a week).

First, Flogging Molly released their new album Float. I've enjoyed the album -- I think the songs on their previous effort Within a Mile of Home are stronger, but I think they are getting a handle on their sound. There's always a lot going on sonically on their albums, and trying to pack that in to what can be recorded and still sound decent has to be real challenge I am sure.

Next up of note was Easter, which occurred on a day giving us a rare glimpse of Spring in the Wasatch. We have a traditional egg hunt in the back yard.

Reyna found a nice blue egg.

Conor and Reyna compare finds.

I even discovered something in the garage I had forgotten about.

Later, it was time for an attempt to get a portrait in the nice clothes.

With that done, it was time to get the bikes out... and a board and brick to ride over.

A few weeks later, it was time for the annual school earth day celebration. Conor had his first speaking part, sporting a jelly fish costume he and his mom collaborated on (i.e., son produces notion of being a jelly fish in the play, mom makes it happen).
