Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Winter coats have been moved from the unheated mudroom, in preparation of cold weather.

It was 92° here today. Latest 90° day record for two days running. Pretty good chance of bagging tomorrow too.

I went mountain biking with a friend who brought a woman I had never met. She saw the 28 tooth ring on my bike and said "Oooh, it's so cute! I just want to pinch it's little cheeks". I laughed, and I was the only one who could keep her in sight. Mongo impressed.

I woke up with what I later learned was likely BPV New Year’s Day 2019. Went to see my PCP a couple of days later. He decided to give me an MRI just in case, because of the blood thinners. That’s when they found them. I have the report somewhere in a box in my office.

Well, well - this is tasty. I picked up a bottle of Green Spot Irish Whiskey at the LLS and the first few sips have been quite nice.

The nurse that I saw last time came in and complimented my hair.

Later, an office staff person came in and started talking to the infusion nurse. They shut the door, even though I was the only person around. Why?

Save up your pennies and try the Yellow Spot next time. I have an unopened one from our last trip to Ireland waiting for me to finish something else that's almost as good. I'm going to miss having an offspring in Ireland.
