Okay, first post uploaded via the new DSL. Hopefully I can keep a more solid connection. Still have to get used to the new configuration and equipment.

Went out on the bike with Cookie and we made it all the way to Scarsdale and back. We passed through giant swarms of gnats. It was disgusting, but otherwise a lovely evening. Cookie loves that bicycle. Tomorrow he becomes five -- ending that strange annual period during which both boys are the same age.
