The Cannonball Run is an unofficial speed record that requires driving across the USA from NYC to Los Angeles. It was made popular by 2 movies with the name from the 80’s. In December of 2020 Kate and I did a COVID Cannonball Run when we drove non-stop from Mancos, CO to Williamsburg, VA. We…… Continue reading COVID Cannonball Run
Outdoor chair
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpksTpYD_QU I love this youtube channel. She is very good about showing the process and explaining things. I also like her designs. This looks like a fun one and will create some nice outdoor chairs to sit in.
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

My take is that Jack is a really smart guy…… Continue reading WordPress.com interviews Twitter/Square
First ride of 2021
We have been in Virginia for a few weeks and the weather has been cold and rainy. We haven’t had snow but there has been a bit of Cold Weather Riding going on. Today the temperature was warmer and I didn’t have to wear all of the clothing. It was a great ride. Our mission…… Continue reading First ride of 2021
Acting ‘as if’
In high school my best friend Melissa told me: “If you want to be cool you just need 1 other person to think you are cool. Then if you think you are cool and that other person thinks you are cool, you are cool.” I always loved that saying and tie it together with acting…… Continue reading Acting ‘as if’
What are your plans for 2021?
New year, new plans, maybe even new resolutions? I don’t know about any resolutions but I do have plans. I plan to exercise every morning. I am pretty close to this already but want to make it as regular as drinking coffee in 2021. Of course I will still drink coffee too. My goal is…… Continue reading What are your plans for 2021?

Transfer Domains to Cloudflare
Just do it already! I have been waiting to do this for some strange reason. Cloudflare does not appear to let you register new domains yet, but you can transfer most existing domain names to them. At $7 and change per domain per year they are by far the cheapest solution. Also their User Interface…… Continue reading Transfer Domains to Cloudflare
Loosing your cool
I recently talked about “Yes, and…” and how it is useful for staying positive and progressing the conversation. What about when the opposite happens and you lose your cool? What can you do to recompose yourself and get back on track? This morning I had a failure to stay cool moment and am a little…… Continue reading Loosing your cool
