The COVID vaccine is out and I will get it as soon as it is offered to me. I believe in science and I trust our scientific institutions more than I believe or trust any other large institutions. I also make jokes about vaccines like: “I will get it but I don’t want to be…… Continue reading I need to stop joking about vaccines

Everyday I go for a ride on a bike. These posts are about those rides.
Cruisin on Colonial Parkway to Yorktown
One of the many cool things about being in Williamsburg Virginia is that there is a lot of US history in a really small area. Yesterday we rode to Jamestown: the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. For better or worse… Today we rode the same distance but visited Yorktown: the place where the…… Continue reading Cruisin on Colonial Parkway to Yorktown
Sunny ride to Jamestown
The cold continues so my weekday rides remain at zero. Today we rode to Jamestown, VA which is the first permanent English settlement in the Americas. Its about a 15 mile ride from Bill’s house and is a great place to ride or run. Today Jamestown is part of the Colonial National Historical Park and…… Continue reading Sunny ride to Jamestown
Riding wet
When today started we had no plans to ride bikes. The weather was forecast to be wet and rainy. We prefer not to ride in full rain as it is miserable and dangerous. However the weather ended up being more of a drizzle so we suited up and rolled out. Today’s ride was a much…… Continue reading Riding wet

Matt Mullenweg interviews Jack Dorsey for his latest podcast episode: https://distributed.blog/2020/12/16/episode-26-jack-dorsey-and-remote-collaboration/ I thought it was an interesting conversation.

Yes, and…
One of the best things I have learned, but not mastered, is the #1 Rule of Improv:”Yes, and…”. In that game someone starts the game by telling part of a story. When they are ready to pass to someone else they stop talking and point at the person. That person can say anything they want…… Continue reading Yes, and…
Cold Weather Riding
Anytime the temperature hits 39℉ I feel you can call it Cold Weather Riding. Since the start of December this has been our riding reality pretty much every ride. Even if there are parts of the ride in the 40’s at least the start and/or the end of the ride have qualified for Cold Weather…… Continue reading Cold Weather Riding
