Great evening out with Miss Me. Short but fun run/bike ride to Skyline park and back. Need to explore the blocked road next time. Feels like summer with temps soaring to the 80s!

Chalked out a neat 5mi loop. VFW via baker school leading on to Baker Street, Brookline St and then back to Lagrange via vine st. Need to get flat brakes for the bike. A nice motor would help too while on the hills. Sunset at 19:20! Phew!

Out for coffee at Big Bear in Dedham. Again a family run cafe with some real interesting and tasty eats. The huge picture of a bear on one of the walls was captivating. Also, the ‘Caution, Bears in this area’ right near the pedestrian crossing was pretty tounge-in-cheek! Just before we left, had a quick chat with the owner on a beautiful wooden slab he had designed. Apparently it’s called fractal wood burning art and is basically simulating lightning on wood to create intricate art forms. Pretty neat stuff! ...

Decided to head to Al wadi for some Lebanese food. Was in for a pleasant surprise as we entered. I cross this restaurant almost every time I run the VFW route and never really thought it would be as ‘decked up’ from the looks outside. Some real good choice and tasty food.

8.5 miles. To The arboretum and back via Jamaica pond. Should get back here for the hills sometime soon. Bright and sunny with the temps hovering around 50s. Miss Me had her day long yoga fest.

An unplanned dine out at Coppersmith. Miss Me had bought a few raffle tickets for the Girls on the Run Boston Marathon fund raiser event. She’s coaching a team in her school and heard about the event through them. Got there pretty early and had about 2 hours to kill. Neither were into drinking and socialising so we decided to grab some food at the restaurant. Falafel sandwiches. Pretty neat! The wooden interiors, high ceilings, dim lights and Justin on the guitar totally sealed the experience. Highly likely we’ll be back here. ...

Survives the Hiroshima bomb despite being exposed just a mile from the drop zone. Makes his way to Nagasaki only to get struck again, lives on to 93 years…Wonders of the p53 gene..And wait he first thinks of heading to work right after being jolted off his feet? Phew! Source: Shorts: Double Blasted
