Yowza! It’s been awhile. I wish I could be more like Bev Cooks and write weekly flotsam posts that are witty and entertaining. But, you know, life. It happens. And luckily, so does Capital Grille pumpkin cheesecake. 🙂
Winter Park and COVID 2021
I wasn’t originally planning on skiing this year, but things fell into place perfectly! I try to go every other year; I went in 2020 and 2018. So technically 2021 wasn’t my year. But, we cancelled our February Caribbean trip so I was able to squeeze in a few days of skiing. More about Winter…
BR: The Alienist, Why We Swim, and You Lucky Dog
My last three reads are all over the place! From hunting a serial killer in The Alienist to humans relationships with water in Why We Swim to a romance started by two basset hounds in You Lucky Dog. Variety is the spice of life, no?
2021 Carmel Half Marathon + Other Races This Year
It’s still weird to write 2021. The number just looks weird, right? Anyway, I just signed up for the 2021 Carmel Half Marathon! It’s supposedly going to be an in-person race! With mask requirements (except during the race), limited spots, and staggered start times, I’m confident it’ll be a safe race.
BR: The Unwinding of the Miracle, Then She Was Gone, The Guest List {audiobook}, and Eleanor and Hick {audiobook}
I haven’t written a blog post in fore-ev-er! {name that movie} I’ve missed it! But I honestly haven’t had much to chat (write) about lately. Which, I guess is a good thing, all things considered. So, now that I’ve flipped through enough pages, I can at least write about a few books I read/listened to,…
BR: Beneath a Scarlet Sky, Bangkok Wakes to Rain, and The One {audiobook}
Tired of listening to Christmas music? Grab an audiobook and get to wrapping! I loved The One audiobook and I bet Beneath a Scarlet Sky would be just as great via audiobook.
Currently: October 2020
I had been slacking on the currently posts lately, but I’m getting back into the groove of things. Last month we watched a few several shows, I traveled back to Minnesota, I continued training, and we went to a Halloween party!
BR: The Glass Castle, You’re Not That Great, and Dreamland
I didn’t have any photos of all the books. So, instead I’m featuring a photo of the snowstorm that I saw out of my window as I touched down in Minnesota last week. Not normal for the middle of October- but I made the most of it. Ok, now onto my latest reads…
Fall 2020 Virtual Race Recaps
Virtual races have done a mediocre job at keeping me active without our normal training group runs. I compiled a list of my 2020 virtual race recaps from this fall. Including opinions of the routes I selected, the swag and overall race management. Train on!
Currently: September 2020
It’s been WAY too long since I wrote a Currently post. But I can easily sum up April, May, June, July, and August– stayed home, cooked, read, and tried to stay active. If this year hasn’t been a doozy for you then you must live in a bubble, under a rock, on a different planet.…
