Today the weather is clear and sunny, with not much of a breeze. It was really a nice ride up. I went 9.75 miles today, with an average speed of 12.9 and a top speed of 35.1. I forgot to watch the total time, but it was about 40 minutes. On the way up I … [Read more…]
Michelle has been telling me about this book for quite a while now. I just started it this morning and have only read a few pages. So far I like the style. I’ll report back when I get a better feel for the book. UPDATE: I’ve read 3 chapters now. There is an “Ender’s Game” … [Read more…]
Animal Farm is one of those books that people complain about having had to read in high school. My high school didn’t require it so my discovery was later on, in college. I picked it out of curiosity, and it became one of my favorite books. I’ve read it probably ten times. I tend to … [Read more…]
Today was picture day. Cami and I got to be the models and work it for the camera. I’m not sure how many pictures we took, but it was a LOT. Here are a few that I liked: Now we have to pick one for the announcement. October 16th is coming quick!
It took us about 4 hours, but we ended up with 3 pumpkin pies and two pans of lasagna. We did the lasagna from scratch, including the noodles. My pasta maker hasn’t had a workout for a while, and it was good to see it still works well. Making pasta by hand takes time, and … [Read more…]
This is categorized under “diet”, even though it has nothing to do with losing weight, and probably everything to do with gaining it. Cami and I decided to make lasagna tonight, from scratch, so I dug out my old recipe file and converted it to PDF
I was in a hurry this morning and only did a 6-mile ride. I was in such a hurry that I forgot my hat. Staring into the sun isn’t my favorite way to ride. The hat won’t be forgotten again. 🙂 Here are some some images of my scary skull bike!
I’m not looking forward to the bike ride this morning. The idea of going out in the cold isn’t appealing. But, it’s got to be done. Cami and I had treats at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory yesterday after we picked up the ring. That dark chocolate coconut haystack was delicious, but it’s time to … [Read more…]
I made this for Cami a while back. It was supposed to be for her birthday, but it wasn’t quite ready then. She sports it now on the back window of Esther. One of these days I will surprise her with a Tina graphic that goes from floor to ceiling in her bedroom. 🙂
Ok, the engagement is fully official. We have a date, and a now a ring. Cami and I picked it up at the jewelers today – 4 days after they said it would be ready. But, that didn’t dampen Cami’s spirits. She said she loved it, and I couldn’t be happier about that. Now we … [Read more…]
