OK. So yesterday I embellished things just a bit when I said I rode off into the sunset.
Well, this morning, my commute took me into the sunrise.
I always thought it was kind of strange that when the guy got the girl, he rode off into the sunset with her. I mean, if they're starting a relationship, wouldn't a sunrise be more appropriate?
And what about when the girl gets the guy? Or when the girl gets the girl?
For any of those scenarios: Should the guy-who-gets-girl, girl-who-gets-guy or whomever-gets-whomever ride tandems? Or should they ride solo bikes abreast of each other? Or single file--and who should lead?
If these questions are academic, well, I guess that's appropriate. After all, I am riding off to teach in a college.
Into the sunrise. In Queens, yet!
I never liked the idea of anyone "getting" anyone else as a prize. How about the two of them crashing madly in love with one another as the magical glow of the sunrise surrounds them?
