We have reached a level in the United States, culturally, where we have a certain sense of enlightenment where disability and diversity are concerned, a place where we want to ensure everyone accessibility. Now, by putting disability and diversity together, I don't want to insinuate a similarity between them that doesn't exist. But both have … Continue reading Accessibility, diversity, disability
The daily commute
As I mentioned in my goals post on New Year's Day, I aim to ride 250 miles a month, or 3,000 miles this year, on my bicycle. The core place I get miles in is during my commute to and from work. Which means I ride whenever it is plausible, and don't get deterred by … Continue reading The daily commute
#56: I am His and He is Mine
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Loved with everlasting love, Led by grace that love to know -- Spirit breathing from above, Thou hast taught me it is so! O this full and perfect peace, O this transport all divine -- In a … Continue reading #56: I am His and He is Mine
Running is different than biking…
Or swimming... On Friday I listed some of my goals for the year. One of the fitness goals was to run 52 5k's this year -- not competitions, but all runs -- workouts and competitions. Since I only have done two in a year before, that is quite again. Well, on Saturday I decided to … Continue reading Running is different than biking…
In Praise of the Weatherman
What one job is most disparaged for its accuracy? The meteorologist. But I'm going to go against that. Day after day we complain about the accuracy of the forecast. Rain or not. Yet we check the forecasts each day, and prepare based on it. People in the past would look up to the skies and … Continue reading In Praise of the Weatherman
#55: Come, Christians, Join to Sing

Let all, with heart and voice, Before His throne rejoice; Praise is His gracious choice: Alleluia! Amen! 2 Come, lift … Continue reading #55: Come, Christians, Join to Sing
2015 in review
(Note: I almost posted this yesterday, and left that "goals" thing for today, but I couldn't quite do it. Besides, if I'd posted the "goals" thing on Jan. 2, it would make it harder to locate later. Guess I already have a Jan. 1 blog tradition.) The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual … Continue reading 2015 in review
New Year’s Goals (not resolutions)
Wednesday night I completed my bicycle goal for 2015: 2,400 miles in the year, an average of 200 per month. Hot or cold, didn't matter, I got my bicycle miles in. My average speed was 12.25 mph, so my total hours biked was less than 200 -- 196 hours. But that, and the trends and … Continue reading New Year’s Goals (not resolutions)
