Being Together, Apart

Tonight Hulk&Baby made use of just about every means of communication imaginable to say "I love you". Pigeons, Owls, smoke signals, skywriting, and even telephones, email and Yahoo! Chat.

In a very few hours Baby begins her journey West. In a few more hours, Hulk will have a giant breakfast and then prepare to race his Velo again. Baby will fly and Hulk will pedal and they will be connected by home, which is inside and which they share.

Baby will have the rocket, of course, for getting to the mountains quickly. Hulk will be getting bottles passed to him during his race by Happen, the owl (ably assisted by Pete, of the exceptionally long arms and dutiful disposition). Happen makes a useful guardian critter for a bike racer. She's flyable and bold and able to scare away bad guys and sometimes create the perfect opening in the bunch for Hulk to start his sprint. Let's hope tomorrow is one of those days.
