thames

on sunday richard and i went on a bike ride along the thames. it was a slightly cloudy but warm day, and we rode down to penton hook, the lock that is a few miles along the river. we stopped, locked up our bikes and went for a short muddy walk over to penton hook island. on our way back to our bikes, an elderly couple passed by and the woman smiled wistfully and said that she and her husband "used to get out and do fun things together like that." it made me sad for her.
when i volunteered for a "dance" (on wheelchairs) at a home for seniors in ny, one of the women told me, "this is a song i used to dance to with my husband when i was young". it changed the way i look at my youth forever.
