Two hundred miles by bike achieved!
This weekend I continued to push the proverbial envelope in my quest to ride my bike from home to work and back; when I can return to using the gym, I will be reversing journey. Today, I made it from … Continue reading
Happy Caturday for May 2020, II
Given how exhausted I felt after my 11-plus-mile bike ride (almost to the big goal) followed up with showering and errands, I didn’t feel any burst of extra energy, even with a venti latte from Starbucks. The nice two-hour nap … Continue reading

How non-empathetic people deal with illness
Not that Depression is ever gone be it a mental state or the Republicans driving the World Economy into the ditch every generation. But despite the Pandemic, I’m feeling pretty decent because the worst of everything surrounding the divorce is … Continue reading
First physical 100 miles by bike achieved!
On the weekends, I push the distance envelope with my (relatively) new bicycle. The long-term goal is to ride from my house to my job, approximately 7.5 miles one way or 15 total. When this shit show ends, the plan … Continue reading
San Antonio (by bike) achieved!
Today, I got across the first threshold of distance on my hybrid bike, San Antonio which is around 80 miles from Austin. I also closed the rings for the ninth time in a row even though I’ve been on my … Continue reading
My new bike rack!
The missing piece(s) I needed to have the rack installed from last week arrived yesterday. Mike, the guy who sold everything I bought, put it all together and now I can transport two bikes via my car. Two? Why two? … Continue reading
My first new bike in 25 years
I was just getting too stir crazy and missing the gym so I went to Austin’s very nice Sun & Ski franchise to get a new bike. Years ago, I bought one for Somara but never followed up for me. … Continue reading
Matters are looking a little better as February ends
This was probably the worst February and Leap Month I’ve been through in a while. It has ended on a cautiously optimistic note. How so? I’m getting out of the house. I’m making little bits of progress on the living … Continue reading
More Trumpkin incompetence ahead
Just as deficits don’t matter when the GOP is in charge, neither does the stock market “correcting itself.” Nevermind that when Orange Foolius was armchair quarterbacking, while constantly repeating the debunked lie over Obummer’s birthplace, he said the current POTUS … Continue reading
Life is progressing, I think
Had a bit of a relapse with the cold and other crap because for some damned reason January gets me down and all somewhat. Nevermind that the first three days of February are always a triumph on many levels. I … Continue reading
Check out my new “smart” water bottle!
We constantly hear it in America, not sure about other countries, but we don’t drink enough water. Given all the unhealthy things we Americans generally guzzle in excess: soft drinks, booze, sweet tea (especially in the South), drip coffee, ‘sports’ … Continue reading
I spoke too soon about my well-being, caught a cold
I was off to a great start this week, hell, this year then I came down with the first big cold for 2020! I tried to power through with HEB’s really bitchin’ chicken-noodle soup they sell in the pre-made meal … Continue reading
Things are better than I thought
Well, at least that’s what my therapist told me. Especially in light of the good news on the house’s foundation, the refinancing finally hitting the home stretch, the anticipated monthly payment being acceptable (I feared it would be close to … Continue reading
Amsterdam Achieved!
Today was the sixth milestone via in-door bike! It went much, much faster given this leg being incredibly short. A mere 504 miles to Amsterdam. Arrival was delayed thanks to me taking the bulk of December off. What you’re seeing above … Continue reading
