An Evening Spin
Saturday, June 30th, 2007This evening, I took one final bike ride for the month and here are the stats: 2.6 miles in 20:19 at an average speed of 7.7 mph (16.3 mph maximum down Washington Street). That makes my total for the month 25.10 miles over 12 rides for an average of 2.1 miles per trip; total calories […]
Week’s End - Month’s End
Friday, June 29th, 2007The week I thought would never end is finished and we’ll start a new month on Sunday. June 2007 was memorable for me in many ways: spending a couple days with my wonderful hubby at Lake Tahoe for our 25th anniversary, enjoying time with my friends and family, a very nice birthday, and completing “Script […]
Something in the Air
Friday, June 29th, 2007Have you ever had one of those days (or weeks) where everything feels off?
My last few weeks have been that way. For the most part, I was coasting along and very happy in my life: work was quiet, things at home were good, and everyone seemed to get along with everyone else. Earlier […]
Evening Exercise
Thursday, June 28th, 2007Hubby and I did manage to get out for a ride this evening. The stats: 2.3 miles at an average speed of 6.8 mph and a top speed of 23.5 mph (on the Fifth Street hill - fun stuff); total ride time: 20 minutes and 50 seconds. Total distance for the month: 20.50 miles.
The […]
The Good and The Bad
Thursday, June 28th, 2007The good news of the day is that a short story called Something Wrong, written by my youngest daughter, is about to be published in an anthology called “The Blackest Death, Volume III.” This is one I haven’t read since she knows what type of things I can handle and I hear it’s a little […]
Morning Has Broken
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007Taking a bike ride first thing in the morning is much preferable to going out after work. At this time of the day, the air is clear, cool, and calm. I love the feeling of the cool breeze on my skin as I struggle up that first slight incline of the day - though I […]
Daily Bike Ride
Monday, June 25th, 2007Today’s trip was pretty short: 1.6 miles at a maximum speed of 16.7 mph, an average of 8 mph, and a total time of nearly 12 1/2 minutes. I didn’t really feel like biking after my long day at work, but I’m glad I went out, despite the fact that my legs are pretty sore […]
Angora Fire Question
Monday, June 25th, 2007In response to a question about the Angora Fire, I found that the El Dorado County Sheriff has a report up indicating the addresses of homes that have been damaged by the fire. The report can be through the Reno Gazette-Journal web site.
If that link doesn’t work, try pasting the following address in your browser: […]
This New Week
Monday, June 25th, 2007Hopefully, this week will start out better than last week ended (if you count Sunday as last week). The poor folks in the South Lake Tahoe area are facing an inferno, now being called “The Angora Fire,” that has already claimed thousands of acres of timber and hundreds of homes. When I was watching the […]
Official Winner!
Sunday, June 24th, 2007After uploading my script to the Script Frenzy site, I can now claim official winner status:
20,591
If you haven’t tried something like this, you really should. Writing 20,000 (or 50,000 for Nanowrimo) words in the course of a month can be a real kick. Just don’t expect to have a life.
See you in November […]
