I left the house at 4:45am this morning. I had to give myself a few extra minutes so I could inflate my rear tire in the garage. It was completely flat when I walked in the garage. The hole in the inner tube has gotten bigger, because it had already deflated a lot by the time I got to Grandma's.

The route itself was fine. There wasn't a lot of traffic to dodge. The weather was great, though it was a bit chilly on the way to town. There were no loud kids out playing and generally ...

Let's see, what happened today? I received a copy of Dark Cloud in the mail. I really like the game. It is much better than I thought when I was told about the game last year.

It's been just about two years since the new roof was put up (I believe I wrote about it in my old journal).

HEY GET A LOAD OF THIS



I made a fruit tart inspired by a thermal pool in Yellowstone. No sugar, just dates. No flour, just nuts. If you want to know how to make it, I blogged about it.

In other news, it looks like my boot camp guy is offering me 7:30AM and 4:30PM classes to teach. That is very exciting. And he's willing to wait until my surgery is over and recovered ...
