Biking bliss

Seattle, Washington

I've only ever done this ride once before, but it was such a lovely day for it. Lake Washington AND Lake Sammamish CCW. Still enjoying my "books on tape"-- at least on the sections of trail quiet enough to hear!

I get the news I need on the weather report

Seattle, Washington

Finally, a day of blissfully dry weather. With even a bit of sunshine! Bliss. Even time for a lovely latte at the Kirkland Cafe Ladro...The only thing missing was a new audio book, but I have my eye on something by Elena Ferrante. I guess it's finally time to read one of her books!

Fog, I can handle

Seattle, Washington

It was another pretty rough week for riding but the dense fog this morning was no reason to stay home. Great ride around the southern end of Lake Washington.

Grounded!

Seattle, Washington

I have been off my bike for almost a week now, grounded by the snow and ice. So, "books on bikes" have temporarily morphed into "books on foot." I just finished listening to another wonderful book by Amor Towles: The Lincoln Highway and am now working on the 2nd book a lighter trilogy: The Secret Keeper of Jaipur. Good company as I pick way way gingerly along the icy roads and sidewalks!

A beautiful sight

Seattle, Washington

This most beautiful weather report greeted me this morning. And around Lake Washington I went. Listening to a new podcast ("Soul Music" on BBC Radio 4) and another "book on tape." And NO rain. And then, sunshine! It felt like an enormous gift after all the rain and dark of the past week.

Office cookie swap

Seattle, Washington

Well, the holiday party has not QUITE returned, but at least we get to do a Cookie exchange. No sampling allowed ('til you're out of the building). But still, I am grateful!
