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

You might even say it's an empty nest.

I watched the Bears-Packers after my flag football team lost on the final play to go winless this season.

The Pack will make a Super Bowl run and then Aaron Rodgers will leave and want a longer term contract.

38º this AM. Oh, crap. It's going to be a long winter.

Actually, we often have frost much earlier and can even have short-lived snow by now so we're actually pretty lucky as far as cold goes.

So true. I am resigned to being cold until May.

We are replacing the 20-odd, huge, 1970s casement windows on the back of the house this Fall and maybe I'll feel better about turning up the thermostat a few degrees after that.
