This morning I got up again and went for my usual run. Hot. Warmer than yesterday. It's still May... Summer is here, though. It was 75 when I finished, with a dewpoint close to 70 (translate that as very high humidity; the body doesn't cool if dewpoint and temperature are close together because sweat does not evaporate). You know how if you ( Read more... )

bicycling

This morning I got up and went for my usual 6 mile run - a hot run, it was warm for running, into the 60s (nearly 20C for those of you overseas) and humid and sunny. I decided while I was out running that I would just go ahead and ride my bicycle to work. I've been putting that off because I don't have a key to the bike cage at work, but I do ( Read more... )

Last year, I promised myself that since I don't have the girls this year for Christmas, I would spend Christmas somewhere warm. So where to go? And why am I thinking about this already???

I was looking at airfares to Buenos Aires. Daytime flights both ways. 7 nights on the ground. Definitely doable.

Vacation, Day 5

Fifth day of vacation and I finally feel I have let go. I spent part of the afternoon lounging in the sun on the deck at the Stewart Island Lodge just plain not caring about anything I did or anything going on anywhere. It was awesome ( Read more... )

So today dawned early in Dunedin. I originally planned a run before dawn, but I woke at 6am and kept hearing wind and rain so I procrastinated. As a result, Mom and I hit the road before 8:30 which was fortuitous. We drove south towards the South Pole and eventually ended up at Nugget Point Lighthouse where we spent a couple hours hiking around and ( Read more... )
