Back Home

Back home at last. We stopped at the airport and dropped off the rental car and grabbed our car from long term parking and scooted home.

What a crazy three day adventure.

Still in CT

We are at a rest area in Connecticut but we are only 10-15 miles from Massachusetts.

There are Boy Scouts here giving away free coffee and donuts.

Rest Area

Stopped at a rest area in Virginia to take a break from the crushing gridlock.

Richmond

I would not call Richmond, VA one of my favorite cities, but I do have a fondness for it for some reason.

We are just passing through today. It’s already way behind us.

Still Negative

When being negative is a good thing…

Future Project

Driving North on route 95 in North Carolina I saw a sign for locally grown peanuts. It made me think of how Jimmy Carter made his fortune growing peanuts. That made me wonder if you can grow peanuts in New England’s climate.

I asked Jen to as Google and now I have a project for next summer.

I am going to grow myself some mutha-truckin’ peanuts boys and girls! Get ready!

I’m going to spend hours upon hours on YouTube learning all there is to know about home-grown peanuts and how to keep them safe from those asshole squirrels!

And then probably forget about the whole thing once next summer arrives.

What the Hell is This Place??

Go for a Run

Daily writing prompt

How often do you walk or run?

The answer to this question is two-fold. I walk or run both every single day and very rarely. It depends on your definition of walk or run.

I get my daily exercise in every day by running in place for 30 minutes. If that’s legally considered running then I guess I run every day. If not, then I haven’t run in a couple of months. I started a couch to 5k training but stopped after a couple of weeks. I want to get back into it but I really don’t enjoy the whole running for really reals part of it.

Walking is similar. I close my Apple Watch Activity App’s exercise ring every day with those morning faux runs. That’s not enough exercise to close the Activity App’s calorie goal so I’ll often do either a second faux run or I will walk in place for a while, while doing something else, to get that ring closed. So if the faux walk counts as going for a walk then I do it often. Otherwise, not very often.

So the answer to this question is both confusing and dumb… and also silly. What can you do though, right?
