Groovin'...

After_circus_330...on a Sunday afternoon.

As the circus crowd let out onto the park's East Drive, I had to dodge cars, the "trolley,"* and lots of families in high spirits. Many carried souvenir light sabers and cotton candy, and a few had tiger masks.

* Original name of Brooklyn Dodgers: The Trolley Dodgers.




As I cycled slowwwly up the Dreaded Hill, something marvelous happened: I passed another cyclist. Okay, it was Bernie on a bicycle, but I passed him.

  Over in the Nethermead, a father and daughter put the cold wind to use with a kite, Kite_330_2bringing back memories of my dad's earnest efforts at kite-flying up in the Poconos when I was little.

Good dads take kites very seriously, and
somehow they manage to get them airborne and give us all the credit.
