I managed to get out of bed by 6AM on Thursday morning. Had some breakfast and finished loading the car, then we were on the road by 8:15AM. The wife manned the helm for the first half of the 8 hour drive to Toronto. It’s funny how she always is ready to switch as soon …

The other day when I was picking up my weekly burrito at Cali Burrito in west Allentown, I noticed that the Burger King across the street had closed up.

My wife rousted me out of bed at 7:30AM to hit the lake for a swim while she kayaks beside me. We usually do that every year and she enjoys cruising along beside me. It was not in my training plan, but a OWS won’t kill me. We always try to get out there early …

I was on the road by 9:30AM on Saturday after a good nights sleep big bowl of granola with hemp milk. The sun was breaking over the hills behind the lake, and brightening up the west side Keuka Lake. I decided that to change things up this year I was going to climb up the …

The last week has been pretty uneventful fortunately. No more beestings although I have been a bit paranoid riding my bike. The Alburtis 5k was held on Saturday and I was the official race photographer again. The next couple days after it were tied up with getting the race photos uploaded onto my photography site. …
