Review: Daughter of Mystery
About a month ago I read and reviewed the second book in the Alpennia series of author Heather Rose Jones. Today I am reviewing the first book. Yes, it is a little weird reading the books backwards, but when you get them free through interlibrary loan, you read them in the order received. If I … Continue reading Review: Daughter of Mystery
Fitness Update: Arrival of Fall
I got two 5K runs in last week, but no swims. Forty-Six miles on the bicycle. The weather got cooler this weekend. Two morning with frost. That actually helps running, but requires a wardrobe change for cycling. Figuring out how the heat generation and heat loss offset each other gets interesting. I'm testing out the … Continue reading Fitness Update: Arrival of Fall

Everybody relax
Okay, the election is over. The hysterics have begun. Everybody just relax. First, to the people who are concerned about dictator Trump: Our government isn't that powerful yet. There are too many other people in there that have to go along, and the Republicans are anything but united. There is too much inertia there for … Continue reading Everybody relax

Fitness Update: Almost ran
Well, This week I almost got a run in. Woke up Saturday morning intending to do a run, then realized I needed to exercise the dog with the bicycle, and didn't have the gumption to do both. I did manage to hit 2600 miles on the bicycle. So I am only 400 miles away from … Continue reading Fitness Update: Almost ran
