Hey, handsome. Wanna take a quick spin?

Did I mention that my friend Faith and I went out Saturday night? We brought our wheels to Downtown at the Gardens, and sat outside the Starbucks for a couple of hours. It was really pleasant, sitting outside and spinning. The weather has cooled off a bit, just enough for it to be comfortable.

I will say that spinning in public gets a lot of attention. And surprisingly, most of the attention comes from guys. Women will glance over and look surprised, but that's about it. Children will stare and point. But men tend to come over and ask about the spinning. They want to know what we're doing, and how the wheel works. Sometimes they'll share stories of people (moms, grandmothers, neighbors) that they knew who did knitting or spinning or even quilting. Saturday night we even met a couple of men (older, but still...) who knit.

Faith and I have decided that next weekend, we're going to bring the wheels to the Ale House. Spinning, the new pickup line.
