It has been a perfect October so far, I hope that our indian summer holds out for two more weeks. Yesterday was positively balmy, the sun shining extra-bright from its position low in the sky. We went downtown to enjoy the weather in the afternoon, met up with Evan and Christina and let the two […]

I was out the door at 7:00 this morning for a quick jog. The sun was already fairly high in the sky, but the whole neighborhood was still, aside from the chirps of the birds who had been up for a couple of hours already. I haven’t run at all for a few weeks; Brian […]

I ordered these glasses today. I found them on eBay for $125. At the optometrist’s today, trying them on, I was looking at paying over $300, as my insurance only covers frames every two years. So I opted to save two hundred bucks. My lenses are partially covered, so when it’s all said and done […]

I’m preparing Father’s Day dinner for Brian tonight since tomorrow night we’ll be at a cookout with my dad. So tonight, we are having slow-cooked barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, corn muffins, and homemade coleslaw. Dessert will be blackberry pie (not homemade, alas, but still pretty good). Tomorrow morning I will get up early to make […]

Dinner tonight: roasted yams and yukon gold potatoes, black beans with corn and onions, steamed rice, cheese, all rolled up into wheat tortillas. Freya will be having cheese, tortilla, yams and potatoes. She is still not a fan of beans, alas. Today was so freaking cold I wished I’d had my scarf when Freya and […]

Yesterday before lunch, the whole family (including Kona) went for a short (25 min.) run in our neighborhood. I am NOT a “runner” but I want to try as it’s excellent conditioning and a good way to increase heart rate the same way as with burst training. Since I am fairly out of shape, endurance-wise, […]

Every year, our little Scandinavian village hosts a three day Viking Festival, complete with a parade, a race (5 miles), a carnival, and tons of other events over a long weekend. All the town’s merchants get all excited for all the business they get, and Front Street gets all decorated for the event. It’s a […]
