things

1.  the gentrification of brooklyn and how that means people are spreading out, and changing what are desirable neighborhoods, and what does it mean that i live in park slope if it seems no one else does

2. tour de staten island.  nice ride.  only walked up one small steep hill.  wonder how it would have gone on a different bike.  places i'd like to go back and explore, although clearly a pain to get to.  leaves are not as changed as i thought they might be.  need to stretch more in general.  knee hurt at end of day of riding, as does my thumb-oddly.

3. just had my first effect of gov shutdown, can't get weather from noaa

4.  getting kids to correctly/appropriately name google docs sometimes just annoying and sometimes totally amusing.

5. missing the blessing of the animals at st john the divine again....

6. got ot get going if i'm going to drop off compost and hit brunch...
