Trek to Alma Mater

KS took me on a bicyle ride up Chatsworth to Hamline University and on to Como Park on this sunny, sunny day. The streets on the route to HU are being completely redone, much like what was done in my neighborhood last summer. We dodged around a bit before arriving on campus. There were quite a few people around as we rolled slowly through our common alma mater. I took this photo near the statue of Bishop Hamline, where the hybrid black-eyed susans were growing, They are quite impressive, but not authentic native Minnesota plants, says KS.


We looked for KS's favorite professors to talk to. We found KS's former advisor, F. Aziz, in her office. We chatted for a while and she advised grad school for KS, when she gets a round toit. They compared notes on experiences in the Far East, too. We tried calling BB from Professor Aziz's office, but she was out - lunching perhaps.

The trip to Como was uneventful. The butterfly garden was pretty, but a little dry and short of butterflies. We rode to the Global Harmony Labyrinth and walked the prescribed route. Felt harmonious. Then home for tuna salad sandwiches from tousan's special recipe. About eleven miles.

I finished Sunday's NY Times crossword today. It featured the "worst pickup lines." An example, 23 across. "Pardon me, are you from the Caribbean? Because ..." was answered, "Jamaican me crazy." Reasonably hard puzzle, but only minimal google support needed.

Unky Herb rode to work on his bike again today - 30 miles in his log for today. He arrived home at about 8:20 pm. KS is visiting friends.
