The things that entertain us

In the midst of family get togethers, its often those side events that create the strongest memories. Look what two minds, two straws, some water and a table cloth can create.

The Black Swan

Thank you Kate. This book was compelling and difficult, and I am glad to have read it. Finally, and quite unpredictably, I've found someone who talks about the real world AND what is outside the box others consider the universe. I have more questions after reading Nassim Nicholas Taleb's book, the way it should be.

Off to School

Yesterday college started for our family. Great, and early, morning trip to NYC. Great move in, student helpers carried everything up to the fifth floor room. Great room setup and a very happy freshman class, including their parents. Another chapter has begun. We even had a good ride home concluding a long and monumental day.

1000 miles since Jerusalem

A milestone of sorts. This morning I passed 1,000 miles on my bike since leaving Jerusalem on the Israel Ride 2007 bike ride.

Summertime at the lake house in Connecticut

This was the view waking up each morning. The lake greeted us and gave us plenty of enjoyment kayaking, canoing and reading. Then there were the morning rides and fun meals.

Life is good!

Summer is here

Finally we can start riding with some regularity. Sunday mornings are becoming a regular as I join those training for the PMC.
