This summer, it seems that the weather has ping-ponged between rain and heat. For the past few days we’ve had the former; tomorrow’s forecast calls for the latter.
So I went for another morning ride along the North Shore, to Fort Totten. Just before I arrived, I had a premonition.
After I snapped this photo, I pulled out the phone. There was a voice message from my brother: My uncle (and godfather) is in the hospital, in really bad shape. My brother got the news in a text message from my cousin, just as he was thinking about the upcoming anniversary of our mother’s passing, I’d thought about it, too, while I was riding—just before I had my premonition.
I must say, I felt quite fortunate to be riding again!
