Yesterday it was sixty degrees outside, so I took my bike out for the first time all winter. I biked across the river to return a pair of jeans I'd bought online the week earlier; it turns out that online shopping isn't such a great idea when you're barely above five feet and eighty-five percent of pants in the world are too long for you. Anyway, it was a nice ride, and on my way back home I stopped to pump up my tires. Well, it's snowing again today. I guess I should've expected it, this horrible phenomenon known as winter on the East Coast. But honestly, I've never really liked the cold.***L
