3/7/21 – Cookie Selfie

The things I’ll do for a cookie (or three)! On my longer ride this morning, I didn’t see any GS sellers, but when we stopped at a bakery, I got a huge chocolate chip cookie. You know, for carbo-loading.

After I got home, I saw the posting about the -GS Find-a-cookie, so I looked for the nearest place. I hopped on a bike share and headed to Adams Morgan, but no dice at the location. Then it was off to Georgetown to Saxbys. They were out of Samoas, my favorite, so I picked up some lemon-ups.

Honestly, my favorite cookie is hot out of the oven at home, like a salted toffee, my latest batch.

3/5/21 – Monster

bikedavid and I had the same destination in mind, seeing four monsters (definitions 1a, 1b, 2a, and/or 3) attacking Tokyo: Godzilla, Mothra, King Kong, and the Kraken

3/4/21 – Bowling Alley

Bikedavid, Nadine, and HokieBeth were here earlier, so I’ll pick up the spare by getting picture of another one of their banners

3/2/21 – Little Free Library (with your bike in the pic!)

I didn’t consult the site to find this one in Mitchell Park, I just figured it would be there.

I even made a deposit, dropping off a copy of “Up in the Air”, by Walter Kirn. It’s a quintessential pre-9/11 story about the quest for frequent flier miles. Not that much different than our quest for freezing miles, now that I think about it….

I will never forget the strange feeling of climbing a somewhat steep hill and being passed by a jogger.

I’ve done that when I’m out running. A few times, I let my inner snark out when I called out my pass after they had just passed me without calling theirs.

2/27/21 – the words “Black” and/or “White” (any language)

At Black Lives Matter Plaza, a street sign for the plaza and directions to the White House. It’s not such a disconnect these days.

2/26/21 – Acronym or Initialism (3 letters or more)

I’ve worked at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for a good long time and I still have to look up some of the acronyms and initialisms that I come across in documents and websites it publishes. I joke with my coworkers that NOAA really stands for the National Organization for the Advancement of Acronyms

2/24/21 – “Charles and Diana” Subanagram Word (5 letters or more)

Do you think that Charles and Diana would ever eat “enchiladas”?

2/23/21 – Mosaic (likeness or word)

As I headed up 8th St NE on the MBT, thinking that I would find some good mosaics at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (the Catholics love artistry!), I stumbled across the ArtSpace Loft apartment building and its artistic front.

I skipped past the shrine and cycled on, but this must have displeased the higher powers, since my front derailleur cable snapped about a mile later.

2/22/21 – Purple House

Not one but two purple doors in Adams Morgan.

This was a nice surprise after all the stately steel- and gray-blue doors and shutters in the tonier Kalorama.
