Another Movie!
Another break in my long silence? Not for much... ;-)
But I do have an extra ticket to see The Golden Compass tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Regal Cinema at Richmond and Wilson Mills at 7:30. Anyone interested? -
Movie and a Dinner
He stirs...
Livejournal posting and reading dropped off a couple months ago when I kicked my thesis work into gear, and that's probably going to continue until it's done (by Christmas?). But I do have a couple social bits coming soon... ;-)
First, my platelet donation habit has netted me two free tickets to a sneak of The Kingdom Wednesday ( Read more... ) -
One of the Best Seats in Town
I had been pondering going to the Flats to catch the fireworks this evening, but I wound up going out for a run and starting a dinner (chili, 1.5-hour prep time) later than would allow such. Then, as I was starting to do dishes around 9:30, and heard some explosions, I decided to run out and see what I could see ( Read more... ) -
Finish it, already!
With huge thanks to trygve, I made it to the bike ride yesterday. All in all, pretty enjoyable, though riding with a large group can really slow one down...
Time: 5.5 hours
Distance: 46.9 miles (since I biked there and back from University Circle)
Average speed: 10.8 mph (several long breaks. and as a speed comparison, the average was below 10 mph ( Read more... ) -
Fitty?
When I went in this morning to give platelets (as I've been doing every other Friday for the better part of the past few years, with exceptions around my knee surgeries), I got a little curious about how many donations I've made. So, my most recent Red Cross card said I had 34 lifetime donations, plus another eight on the back brings it to 42. I' ( Read more... ) -
Loaner Bike?
Well, as soon as my biking season began, it appears it may be ending... I was out last Friday with a friend and just as we were finishing up, my right pedal slipped off. I haven't given it much thought, but it will probably fall under the category of "not worth repairing." And I don't really want to go out and buy a cheap bike, since I'm hoping ( Read more... ) -
I need Humor
This morning, among other things, I listened to an interview with Michael Moore about his new film, Sicko, about the impact health insurance has on health care in this country ( Read more... ) -
More! More! More!
(h/t tygerdsebat)
So, now that my biking season has begun, what's next? Well, personally, I'll be trying a trek out east to the Chagrin River tomorrow, but for any potentially weekend wheelers, I'm thinking this trip along the proposed route for the northernmost stretch of the Ohio to Erie trail, the morning of Saturday, 30 June. I'm thinking I'll bike out ( Read more... ) -
Izzat it?
Another pretty good weekend, if not quite as productive as I'd like (though slightly moreso than previous weekends, so there's hope ( Read more... ) -
Biking this Weekend?
A couple other friends and I are planning on biking a stretch of the towpath this Saturday, anyone else interested? I'll be doing Harvard to Peninsula and back (about a 35-mile loop) with a lunch break at the Lizard down there, but those who are less ambitious are more than welcome to meet me part-way ( Read more... )
