Cold weather

It's unusually cold in DC at the moment -- highs didn't get out of the 20s yesterday or today. So it was a little surprising that Steve asked if I wanted to go for a bike ride yesterday morning with his friend Michael. The reason is that Michael is a photographer and wanted to get some shots of people biking in cold weather. Funny to see pictures of myself riding, which I'm not accustomed to seeing, of course.

In addition to the pictures of us riding, Michael also has some great photos up on Flickr of the legendary 14th and U snowball fight that went down during December's blizzard (before the incident with the gun).


Today, we miraculously had 6 people turn out for pickup frisbee, so I put in some more time outside running around in the cold. Often it seems folks in DC regard winter as something to be suffered through until the warm weather returns, but the cold is so much better when you get out in it instead of just scurrying between buildings.
