You never know who (or what) is watching you doing yard work.

Language

I probably need to post this in a few other places to remind/reinforce:

We swim in language as fish swim in the sea, not noticing the power that our words have
to manifest, to create and to destroy.
– Mary Jo Asmus

  • Current plan: Mix of running and biking
  • Today’s session: 1-hour ride
  • Comments: Rest day instead, as we spent the evening/early AM at the ER with my Mom-In-Law…and riding on less than two hours sleep probably wouldn’t have been smart. She’s home, OK, and I’ll ride tomorrow.

Visitors

I opened the blinds to the patio this morning and welcomed this “visitor”

This afternoon, I started to roll the garden hose up and discovered this “visitor”

Zoomies

Seriously, I seem to recall getting something like this out of a cereal box when I was a kid!

If the “protective carrying case” were made of “Corinthian leather” or if the temples had Ginsu knives hidden in them, I might be tempted to make late-night, insomnia-induced purchase.

OK, maybe that was a decoder ring I got in the cereal box…

Zoomies, throw in a “unique, spiral slicer” and I’m all over this!
