Long time since I posted last. Believe it or not, I'm not dead. I'm just not a big fan of writing. However, I did want to capture a few memories of my trip to Croatia, Slovenia, and Venice before I forget ( Read more... ) -
Thanks for everything, Mom
On August 13, my mother passed away at the age of 79. It wasn't unexpected. She had been in a nursing home for the past 3 years, and for the majority of that time she had maintained her wits and relatively good health, despite being confined to her bed.

Dobrý Den
I realize my journal has been extremely quiet for quite a while, so I've been meaning to post about my recent trip to the Czech Republic and Austria, before I begin to forget details.

And then once I have worn her out from dancing all night long, I can relax her with some glissando, before I show her my legato con legno. -

I bought a heart rate monitor
Theoretically, my maximum heart rate is 170bpm. Let's say that theoretically my heart rate rose to 180bpm once per day for 30 minutes. Theoretically, how many days would I have to live? Theoretically. -
Happy New Year
2013 was a year of tremendous accomplishment for me. I bought a new bicycle in July, which really inspired me to get serious, and go on some long and challenging rides. After work, I used to enjoy riding 10 or 12 miles, but by the end of the summer I was riding 25 to 30 miles. I also joined a bicycling club, and went on many group rides. I even ( Read more... )
