October 27. When I finally give up and realize I can no longer fall asleep, it is – oddly – still dark now.

This half of the year started with us buying the scooters and riding along the Hudson in still freezing air. These are now the last days of this year in which we’ll use the scooters before I move them to the bike room next week. It is warm, close to eighty degrees. Stunned by  the empty evening sky.
