Almost October

Yes, it is almost October. Hulk & Baby are settled into the new semester at The Big Scary Schoolhouse and all is well. They read, they write, they sleep less than they should, they pedal bikes and are happy most of the time.

At the moment they are hunkered in the library at the BSS. Baby works and climbs up, and then jumps off of her great big quick-trick-book-stack. She shouldn't do that in here, it's the library. Shhh!!!! Probably she is wound up from all of the M&M's.

Hulk is not wound up.

He wound down after he wound up 11th in his Cyclocross race today. Off to a good start, riding with fast fellas for the first two laps, then he got a flat tire and had to run/slow-roll most of a lap until he could grab his spare bike. The Hulk, he has been training pretty well these last few weeks, though, and he had good sensations, as the Euro's say.

So H&B get ready to start their week and will end it either with a visit to Baby's folks or a visit from Baby's folks. Either way they will get to see Ma and Pa C, which is too rare of an event and they look forward to it, happily.

The sunsets sneak up earlier and try to catch H&B in the dark on their evening rides these days. The bunnies aren't so thick on the ground for company as they were a few months ago, and the sun has that defiant intensity it gets in this part of the world every autumn, as it squares its sunny shoulders and readies itself for the coming indignity of winter. Hulk & Baby love the Fall. And each other.

Until next time, we wish you all doings of good deeds, and silly things, just because.
