A moment in the park

It was one of those perfect days: warm sun, cool air. Begs for a bike ride, solo, just a short one, down to the park and back. Tunes with the iPod Shuffle: piano concertos on the way to the park, Buddy Holley on the way back.

There was a couple groveling in the grass in the park, children climbing in the low brances of a gnarly conifer, and some out of towners playing frisbee, poorly, with a too-small frisbee, but they were enjoying the SoCal experience. What I can do anytime is the highlight of their vacation, possibly something they will remember for their entire lifetime.

I slipped through the park, unremarkably, yet another background element in that moment of Life we were all living together.
