Kids at the Beach

So we went for a bike ride to the beach. After the obligatory complaining from the nine year old for the 1.8 mile ride, we arrived at the beach as the tide was coming in. Armed with no toys or sand castle equipment, we commenced riding some waves, fighting the shrimp, throwing rocks (playing fetch), and just plain having a great day. The 1.8 miles back to the car to rack the bikes was not nearly as bad as the nine year old envisioned.

Quest for youth

So I started my day yesterday by doing a little run. Nothing crazy but a couple miles. Pruning trees in the front yard followed by a bike ride and a little tennis with my family (or should I say tennis ball retrieval). Cap it off with hitting golf balls with the kids at 7:00 pm and it was an early bedtime. I am sore today and feeling all the years I have been on this planet.

Rain

When was it that a day of clouds and light rain qualified as a Good Day? We have to tolerate bad weather or is it that we are making the best of it? The other day it was sunny and I actually thought it was too bright! I feel a bit like the groundhog in February coming out of my winter quarters.
