smile --- there's no because

Progress has been made on the bike thing. Now I can actually do it all on my own, even starting it, which was the biggest accomplishment of the day. But it sort of gave me a third knee. I swear today's big fall was so huge, my knee has doubled it size. Enormous bruise. Dad says it's sign I'm actually learning. That's good, then?

I almost feel like a need a bike-related icon. Will consider it. Can't think of any movie or tv scene featuring a bike, though, with the exception of City of Angels, which is a movie I like just fine, but don't love enough to deserve an icon, you know?
