Was planning on going on a sweet bike ride on the someday-to-be south corridor bike path. Unfortunately for my trip, it turns out to be almost as overgrown as it was before they tore up the railroad tracks about 6 years ago. In addition to riding through thorny brush, I drove right into a ditch (that I knew from earlier trips was around, but due to all the overgrowth I wasn't sure exactly where it was until I was in it). My legs got a bit scratched up, my handlebars misaligned, and my gears full of plant stems. Turned around at the end of Seminole and came home and fixed up and re-oiled my bike.

Worked on my japanese a bit. Basing it on this guy's site which has so far been more helpful for me than any other site I've found. Then I started completely over-engineered a flashcard program based on the content of said site.

Fizz and I went on a pretty sweet bike ride starting at about 6:30. We went to picnic point. As we left it was getting dark, and all the cranes above the hospital were flashing their red lights and it looked pretty cool. And then instead of going right home we went along the walking/bike path by the lake to Park street, and then took Park street to the railroad bridge, and Fizz was telling me that Mary had told him that the bike path totally went across this bridge now, and it totally did, so we walked along the tracks for a bit until we found a spot where the fence between the tracks and the path became a concrete thing that we could climb over and we took the path toward lake Monona blah blah blah blah and we went to a lot of sweet places that we hadn't seen before and it was a neat trip.
