After a busy week with work and school after Spring Break, I finally saw Mark again on Saturday, March 25, 2006, in Granbury. This time, he gave me a brand new Trek bicycle. I described it in an e-mail to a friend as having "mountain bike wheels but a more comfortable seat/handlebar arrangement."
As I wrote to a friend, "This is the second birthday gift; I got a digital camera last week. He has a bike too and wants me to ride with him. I used to ride in Seattle until I had a nasty downhill accident (still have gravel embedded in my knee) but would love to ride again on some of the trails around here. I've got roses too; I get them every time I go to Granbury." This time I actually have a picture of the roses.
And as I told another friend, "Mark said he would rather surprise me with early gifts than take a chance on being late."
Mark kept the bike at his apartment so we could ride together. While I was in library school in the spring of 2006, there really wasn't time to ride it other than during my visits to Granbury.
I still have that bike, and I still ride it.
