Nice day for biking!


I bought this bike nearly twenty years ago at Overlook Mountain Bikes when I lived in Woodstock.

Every few years, I get the itch to buy a new one and do a bunch of shopping. Then I realize that this bike is still fine and I stick with it. I’m sure I will go through the exact same thing again this year.

That is probably one the best summaries of Ron DeSantis I have seen.


A couple of great albums arrived in the mail today.

Still going on my Talk Talk bender.


I have my first full-on head cold—one of the kids brought it home from school, of course—since before the start of the pandemic.
