Chain

The chain came off my trike on Friday in front of the Y. I flipped the bike back over and put it back on, but, even though I scrubbed my hands in the shower before I swam, the grease is only now wearing off. The chain is still loose, and it's rusted from the winter snow.

I had dinner last night with my sweet, smart friends, one of whom gave up all animal products for Lent. The other one gave up wine. We had a chocolate vegan bread pudding that was steamy and good -- it had banana and dried cherries. They talked in this wide-ranging way I love, and gave me bread pudding to take home. It was warm and a little rainy. I rode my trike, living a little dangerously on the bike path with a loose chain at night, but all was well.

Orange Gojo. It's soap with pumice in it. Machinists and other oily people use it extensively and it works fabulously well.
