70. Halloween

Tried to get away

from the cold and trick or treats

Best Halloween yet.

69. Ariel's Grotto

Lunch with a princess...

felt like a good idea, then,

we got the check. Ouch.

68. Disneyland

Waiting in line to

experience the magic.

Earth's happiest place.

67. Lotoja

Short flats, mountain highs,

Much chaos in the feed zones.

Best day on a bike.

66. The Stoplight at 21st South

Standing sentinel,
always red. "Halt! who goes there?"
Click. Foot down. "Just me."

65. Lemon-filled

No one asks for it,
But there it is between plain
and sprinkles. Surprise!

64. Plain

It sits unadorned,
surrounded by better sweets.
Best with chocolate milk.

63. The Donut with Sprinkles

A donut for kids.
But when the others are gone,
it will do nicely.

62. The Chocolate Donut

Raised, brown cake. Icing.
Lord of sugary baked goods.
First one eaten. Mmmm.

61. The Pink Donut

A sweet surprise hides
in the bottom of the box,
strawberry frosting.

60. The Maple Bar

In the donut box

a pernicious impostor.

Vile, disgusting roll.

59. Donuts

Round deliciousness...
drizzled in chocolate, sprinkles,
or just plain. So good.

58. Wake Up Call

Cold air, canyon breeze,
Night refuses to let go.
Riding before work.

57. Swine Flu?

Whiny, mopey, blah.
Lots of laying around sick.
Won't take medicine.

56. Singing as Loud as a Three-Year-Old Can!

Blond hair, done in braids,
Dressing herself: mismatched pinks.
Making up a song.
