March Update

It may appear like Arthur and I decided to give up blogging for Lent since it has been a few weeks since our last post.  We didn't.  We just let a few weeks pass without realizing it.  I often wonder how entire weeks slip by without us realizing it.  Our time has been split between a few different activities lately.  We finally got our bikes out on the road after months of pedaling in the basement.  This was wonderful.  Arthur even got to pull out his bike repair skills to fix the brakes on my bike after I road 10 miles with the brake pad rubbing my tire-- hopefully this is the reason I couldn't keep up with Arthur on his speedy new bike.  We have also been watching a new TV series on Netflix--  Alaksa: The Last Frontier.  This series is about an extended family of subsistence homesteaders in Alaska.  It is a mix of the survival shows we like, the environmental documentaries Arthur enjoys, and Alaskan scenery for me.  I have frankly been very glad some evenings that Arthur doesn't haul me out in the dead of winter on a 40 mile snow mobile trek to go ice fishing.  This makes grocery shopping look a little better.  Arthur has also been getting his basketball fix with watching the San Antonio Spurs play a few evenings and going to the state basketball tournament to see my high school alma mater defend their title.  I spent the weekend hanging out with friends from college.  We went on a picnic and hit the driving range.  I was informed by two of my friends who play golf that me swing needs some major work.  As Twain says, "Golf is a good walk spoiled" so I am not going to get too concerned.  Hopefully the upcoming weeks will include more of the same- biking, Alaska TV shows, basketball, and friends.  It could possibly be awhile before another post since we have so much going on.  Omnia Vincit Amor.
