Rolling Around Town

Resurrected the bike from the basement yesterday and went for a spin. Today I rode 5 miles at lunchtime, 30 minutes. It's nice to get a little ways outside town, down to the other cemetery that's too far to walk to; the sunset there was beautiful yesterday, over Camp David. I forgot what a nice bike it is! I used all 24 gears at one point or another, although I must say sometimes it's nicer to just do the old-fashioned standing up to pedal on some of the hills.

Enjoying the last of the garden bounty this week. The last tomatoes, peppers, onions. The salad greens should be coming for a while still, they have been beautiful. Something really ate the kale, though, and I am not happy about it.

The scale would have me believe that I have lost 14 pounds since I started my new cholesterol-lowering regimen about four months ago. That's more than I planned, and I'm not really trying anymore. I would have been happy with nine. But I'm not complaining.
