Le Tour de Janvier

1/7/2012

All men on racing bikes resemble Lance Armstrong:
Jaw and helmet and wraparound shades.

On the most gorgeous Saturday in New York,
Bare legs emerged from shorts, bikes oiled and pumped.

My Trek Hybrid was hanging in the basement,
So I plodded three miles on the track
While cyclists churned on the main streets,
Training for Paris-Roubaix, or lunch.

QUOTES
“They may hate the cultural context they now find themselves teaching in, but they love their work. The Achilles’ heel of schoolteachers, one all too easily exploited by politicians, is that they love their students.”
(One of the best reads in the NYT these days is Margaret Renkl, in Nashville. In her latest post, Renkl describes the dedicated core of “born teachers” – the majority, she submits.)
***
(From Madeleine Albright in one of her final interviews in February):
“Putin is small and pale,” I wrote, “so cold as to be almost reptilian.” He claimed to understand why the Berlin Wall had to fall but had not expected the whole Soviet Union to collapse. “Putin is embarrassed by what happened to his country and determined to restore its greatness.” – Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, recalling her first meeting with the relatively unknown Vladimir Putin in 2000. – The New York Times, Feb. 23, 2022.
