This isn't just any old bagel. The fact that it's a Bodo's Bagel isn't even why I'm posting it today, but that in itself makes it post-worthy. Actually, I'm posting a picture of a Bodo's Bagel because I have successfully eaten one every day for nearly a week without a migraine, even though it contains two potential migraine triggers: malted barley wheat and fresh yeast. After 5 months of abstaining from Bodo's, I can once again partake of my favorite local cuisine. Yeah!

Went for a walk along the river... Here's a swan. My cell phone kept ringing the whole walk through. This was the day Jess got a flat tire and called for help, and Squirt got mad at me then called again to apologize.
