Saturday included a trip downtown by bicycle to the Milwaukee Public Market, where one of the people at Sushi A Go Go recognized me from my livejournal entry about the place. He’d Googled on “Sushi A Go Go Milwaukee” and found it that way. He thanked me for the publicity. I also got a bunch of apples from the apple lady.

Saturday night was the fannish Halloween party at Lytheria, which, as usual, included a filk on the third floor. We had a small group and Art dragged out lots of stuff he doesn’t play much. I ended up playing a few things I don’t do much, plus something I only try out in public occasionally, Bach’s Fugue in Gm on the flute, which went OK. Bach used a lot of notes, and I’m only playing part of it! There’s still the other notes on the right hand, the left hand, and the pedals. Also, it occurs to me that now that I know five sets of words to the tune of The Lady, I ought to learn to play it better. Jason has a nice fingerstyle thing worked out that I ought to work on. I’ll have to ask him about it next time I see him.

Today, Joyce and I discovered that the scones at Cedarburg Coffee Roastery are really, really good. Also, they sell nice chocolate at Govida. And good steak at Outback.

I've got some photos of it on Flickr, tagged Tour Easy (http://www.flickr.com/photos/beigephotos/tags/toureasy/). It's very comfy, great for a 60 km trip to the beach in the summer or the daily 14 km commute to work. I have a BOB trailer, the kind with one wheel, which is handy for grocery shopping, camping, or a weekend at my girlfriend's place across town.

It is great to ride six hours and not have anything hurt and to have my head facing forward instead of down at the front wheel.

I remember when they were just starting to get noticed and I read an article in one of the bike magazines. A guy who showed up at a race track with one. The racers all laughed at him until he proceeded to get out there and blow every one of their records out of the water. The recumbent was henceforth banned from racing.
