Blacktop Friday

Seattle, Washington

Back home from Thanksgiving and determined to ride despite the super gloomy weather. Did the south loop which is not particularly conducive to book listening. But over the past several weeks I have enjoyed a number of books, among them an old favorite: Ann Patchett's "State of Wonder." 

More "books on bikes":

• "The Alice Network" by Kate Quinn
• "The Henna Artist" by Alka Joshi
• "State of Wonder" by Ann Patchett
• "Gun Island" by Amitav Ghosh

Thanksgiving rolls around again

Lopez Island, Washington

COVID's not gone yet (see current events in Europe) but it was wonderful that we felt safe enough to gather once again on Lopez for Thanksgiving. A relatively small group of 12 felt just right. Everyone contributed something to the effort, and it was a lovely time.

Thanks again, all!

Seattle, Washington

Despite repeated intervals of rain, I had a great ride today. I am REALLY enjoying Bill Bryson's "The Body: A guide for occupants."

It's absolutely fascinating!
