Just wanted to let you know that I was back on my bike today. I had to buy a brand new shiny bike (I totaled the old one), which was fun. It is blue-purple, which isn't my color, but otherwise it is very masculine. The arm is feeling good. It cracks and pops and I still can't get it to change diapers, but we should be a go for the CD release party. -Marty
