It decided to sneak up on the Turkey Ridge house with sudden fury.
A sniffle. A sore throat. A feeling of being just… “off.”
And thus begins another bout with sinusitis. This one has some aches as well, likely due to my skiing yesterday (first day on slopes always reveals the weak spots in the physique). Oh well. This too shall pass…
Sniffle. Ugh.
Until then: how was everybody’s Thanksgiving? How was the weekend for my non-celebratory friends? Talk about it in the comments!
First day of skiing for the 2013-14 season is in the books. It was a great day to ski in Vermont: cold, dry, sunny, calm wind, and no crowds for the first two hours. This was my first time using Ski Tracks, a smartphone app that tracks ski data. It separates uphill data from the […]
I didn’t plan on spending any money at any Black Friday sales today. Turns out I couldn’t if I’d wanted. Y’see, sometime earlier this week (possibly during the drive north), my debit card’s number was “skimmed.” As such, the person who got my info started to run up some major withdrawals of cash and attempted […]
Thanksgiving Day is one of those strange U.S. holidays. It’s a day of being thankful via… gorging on food? Well, sort of. Thanksgiving is all about being appreciative of the things you have in life. With that, here are a few that I single out today: Thank you to my cycling friends. You’ve seen me […]
Fall foliage’s fleeting foray into our lives is worth capturing. And you need to be quick, because from one week (17 November)… to another (24 November)… things can, and do, change.
As I said yesterday, “Day of The Doctor” was a brilliant episode for Doctor Who‘s 50th anniversary. But this mockumentary, showing what some of the “classic” Doctors would do to appear in “Day of The Doctor,” is just as brilliant. Written and directed by Peter Davison – i.e. The Fifth Doctor – it is a […]
Maybe that post title is a little odd, but… well… I totally loved the 50th anniversary episode of Doctor Who, “The Day of The Doctor.” Did it have David Tennant? Yup. Billie Piper? Yup. A fez? Indeed. Nods to the past? Affirmative. Other fun stuff? Yes! sprite and I saw it on the big screen, […]
In the past week, the greater DC area cycling community has been rightfully angry at the outcome of a grand jury ruling about the death of a local rider on a road many of us ride with some frequency. The jury found the appropriate penalty for killing a cyclist to be four moving violation tickets […]
This morning, I woke up and brewed coffee. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and toasted an English muffin. I then donned my cycling togs (longer layers, as it’s chilly outside, with wind in the forecast), packed a bag, topped off the bike’s tires, lubed the chain, loaded up the car, drove to Bowie […]
Really. Nothing. Sure, I’ve been talking about plenty of things today and tonight. But writing now? Nope. Perhaps I’ll be more verbose and profound tomorrow.
