It was a beautiful day in New Orleans today, and I rode home from work with Bruce Springsteen’s Tenth Avenue Freeze Out in my ears and the air whizzing around me. These are the kinds of rides that make me thrilled to be alive, and to get to ride a bike. Continue reading

Think That You Might Be Wrong Sign at 7th and La Salle
Today was crisp and cold and the sky was this beautiful blue. I rode home on Freret and then turned on La Salle. I stopped to take a picture of this sign, which reads “Think That You Might Be Wrong.” I’ve seen these signs all over town, but I don’t know who put them up, or why. Continue reading
Prospect 1 Welcome Center
Today was simply beautiful. The sun was out and the air was warm and I put on a dress and hopped on my bike for a ride down to the Quarter for coffee and work. On my way home I stopped at the Prospect 1 Welcome Center in the Hefler Warehouse on Magazine just uptown from Julia Street. Continue reading

Bathroom Graffiti in the Marigny
Tonight was a lovely night for a bike ride–cool and dark and cloudy and threatening rain. That might not sound like a nice night for a ride, but it fit me perfectly. This weekend is the New Orleans Fringe Festival, so I rode down to the Bywater to join M. for a puppet show. I Continue reading
On Piety
Today reminded me of summer. I rode my bike just to ride and taste the wind. The day started with rain, but then it let up and the sun was shining and I felt free, zipping through Uptown for a lunch date with A. I wasn’t sure where my bike would take me after that, but I overheard some folks talking about some installation art on Piety. Continue reading
