Today, I dusted off my fat bike and went for a short ride. I learned a few things. In no particular order:
- Eye protection is important when it is snowing, even if it isn't cold, to protect the eyes from getting attacked by snowflakes.
- My rain pants are no longer waterproof.
- My big gloves don't work for shifting when using Dan's pogies/bar mitts.
- We've had an inordinate number of geese down the block, if the mess they left on the paths are any indication.
- The creek is really full, due to our wet Fall.

I am thankful this Thanksgiving for a number of things including:
Truly great family and friends
Healthy family members
Awareness of my good fortune
Network of supporters for my MS fundraising efforts
Kids, in the form of nieces, nephews, friends' kids, cousins' kids, etc.
Stable home and work lives
Great, long biking season in 2015
Improvements that are sure to come due to the protests and demonstrations in our city
Very cute dog
Interests and hobbies that are always evolving
Nature is close by
Good books and music to read and listen to
