What's Happening Now(ish)

I'm ...
- Maintaining a photo journal with my picture-a-day postings in my photo galleries. Still trying to get my Japan photos from last year in some coherent (and reduced) order to post. I don't always have my "good camera" with me so I'm learning to tolerate that and try to make better photos with what I've got. Good life lesson.
- Continuing my journey to become a better skier. Fun to watch the Olympics, though this has little to do with my technique. Still, I am getting better.
- Running. Next race (that I know of) is the long-awaited Bay-to-Breakers. Longest distance I've ever "raced" since, maybe, ever. There are two of us on our team. Team name: The Glacial Pacers. We intend to fulfill what our name implies. Both of have made hotel reservations, so I guess we're really doing this thing.
- Exploring the local pickleball scene when we're not skiing and it's not too windy. The level is definitely challenging for us, though the crowd is welcoming.
- Starting to think about spring or summer or fall trips. Current road trip idea is along the route of the Southwest Chief, without actually getting on the train. Olympic Peninsula and Seattle also under consideration.
Books in my reading pile
- Way too many. Most of what we bought at the Planned Parenthood book sale were wrapped up as our Christmas gifts, and we're leaving them wrapped until we finish the unwrapped ones. So far my progress is limited. On the last chapter of John McPhee's Giving Good Weight
- Existentialist Café by Sarah Bakewell. 2/3 through. Heavy sledding. Imagine.
- Endless pile of New Yorker magazines
