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.
