Life continues apace with our non-stop selling of furniture and household goods and with our multiple projects of digitizing everything possible in our lives. Last November I wrote about how our house was beginning to echo, but that was small peanuts compared to now. The house is now so empty that we can’t speak in …
Riding in the rain Chelsea and I have been very lucky with almost never getting caught in the rain. Well, it’s been both luck and careful planning. We have, however, wanted to be better prepared for riding in the rain. I left before dark again one Saturday while Chelsea was in California, and hadn’t paid …
Daily surprises Each day something different happens on our rides, keeping life interesting. There’s a house on our route on A1A, off to the left at the north end of Delray Beach, with a tall two-story window in the front. It’s normally covered in gauzy drapes and the lights are out when we come by …
Chasing sunrise again Perhaps what we love the most about riding here is the spectacular scenery. Sometimes we want to pinch ourselves to see if we are dreaming – we feel so lucky to live here! (And often we can’t believe we are giving it up to live on the road for eight years…) Before …
Our riding territory We wind through several neighborhoods on our rides each morning – some with wide ethnic diversity, some all white, some all black with a few Hispanics, then the multi-million dollar neighborhoods on A1A. Each one is unique. Our two favorites are the sections on A1A for the views and scenery, and the …
Cold, cold, cold Our glorious riding weather of November came to a screeching halt with the onset of severe cold spells in December. This is southeast Florida, land of the warm, warm, warm weather, yet in mid-December we had a few spells of below freezing cold. On a few memorable days the temperatures hit twenty-eight …
We’ve had a tremendously good time with our early morning rides. Every day something fun happens, it seems. Whether it’s someone we meet or something we see, it’s never dull. Back in mid-November, just a day or so after I had last written, we were still doing our “later” rides, leaving at seven a.m. or …
We finished our twelve-week Body for Life program on Christmas Eve, with wonderful results. I was definitely “the biggest loser” – I needed the biggest results and I got them. My loss was thirty pounds, twenty five inches, and over ten percent body fat. Chelsea did well, too. She lost four pounds, sixteen inches, and …
Eight months. Eight incredible months it’s been since we last wrote. How is it possible for time to disappear so easily? I have such good intentions about writing. I list my projects for the day, and somehow, in my deep desire to get the other projects done, writing the journals drops to the bottom of …
Chelsea and I both love sunrise. The world is so calm and quiet, the air is fresher and cooler, the winds are calmer, there’s the promise a new day brings. We love being up before the birds and watching them awaken; we love the gorgeous pink and gold and orange colors of the sunrise as …
