Short takes

Seasonal notes: the roses of Sharon are ending, and Monarch butterflies have been around for the last couple of weeks. Either there are more of them, or I'm paying more attention.

If someone's going for a run, one can say "Have a good (/nice) run."
Similarly, if walking, "Have a good walk."
For bikers, "Have a good ride."
What's the parallel construction for bladers?

I've always tended to plan exercise for after work, but it does set me up better for the day if I do something first thing in the morning (before breakfast), whether going to the gym, walking, or biking. Mostly it's walking, as long as it's of sufficient duration (the three miles to work is good enough).

Anyone have particular recommendations for (/against) particular coolers?

I am very lucky to have multiple friends with listening ears.
