Love this response from @SnapLanguage on YouTube! I tell my students they already communicate perfectly b/c their peers understand them, but that colleges & careers think you need to talk & write a certain way so we gotta work together & learn how to beat them at their own game. https://t.co/IKAbhdwgMl pic.twitter.com/qkbTl5rHm1

2020 Bike Ride 11

I took a ride to give my keys to my lovely apartment back to my landlord (and I was a bit late because I had been enjoying peirogis). A bit sad to move out because it was a great apartment and I would’ve loved to keep living there but it just isn’t the right size for two people. Afterward, I took a diversion through Vieux Montreal.

2020 Bike Ride 8

Leisurely Sunday ride to Verdun, along Monk and back along the Lachine Canal. Late enough in the morning to avoid the hard core cyclists and early enough to mostly avoid the families and picnicers. Beautiful day out there with plenty of people enjoying their space along the canal.

Total trip distance: 13.01 km

Moving time: 0h 46m
