Ingrid decided she wanted to join a gym. They all have minimum age limits for unaccompanied kids (teens) and mostly those limits are too high for Ingrid to pass, but there is one chain with a 14-year limit and a gym relatively close to us. A parent needs to be there for signing up, though, so Ingrid and I cycled to that gym this evening.

I enjoyed the cycle ride. I haven’t been able to fit in much cycling recently. My current team does so much pair programming that I am nearly always in an online session with someone. I feel guilty about my long workout-plus-lunch breaks already because then the other person has to wait for me to come back before we can continue. Sure, they fill their time with something, but they still have to wait for me.

Those birches look like they are in autumn colours, don’t they? But it’s just the yellow leaf buds in the evening sun.
