What are you doing today?

Way More than that. West to East coast is basic training for me.

All you're doing is putting me into a situation where I think that if I'm gonna get kicked, I may as well deserve it.

YOU'RE PLAYING WITH FIRE, BRAH!

Injured my back (muscular) and I am about two weeks away from my black belt test. I planned this to be the most strenuous week in terms of training, instead I can’t do much since last Saturday.

Commiserations on your back injury, consider me impressed at how close you are to gaining your black belt - as with mastering the guitar, martial arts are another of the accomplishments that an alternative life might have allowed me to become more acquainted with - anyway, most of all, very glad to see you back.

Our little dinner cruise was cancelled last night due to bad weather, but they put us on tonight’s. There were only 8 of us on the upper deck with two musicians. It was lovely, even if it was super windy at first. And dinner was excellent.

Just drove 12 hrs from Taylors Falls, Minn to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The Oklahoma turnpike at night sucks in the rain. Parts of it, the road edges are not well illuminated by headlight, nor well lit. The tractor trailers, especially double trailers throw up tons of water spray. Forensic Files on the radio kept us company at night .

Went to the grocery, drove over to the beach (groceries in tow :D), sometimes I have to remind myself when I kind of get cranky about this place, it affords me the opportunity to do stuff like this.

I have some stunning sunrise photos from this morning, er, not pulling an RP and bragging on my photography skills, it was just spectacular, kind of hard to F-up a photo ... I'll post in POTD.

Wow... photos like that are always breathtaking for me. I'm not used to horizons being so distant... nestled here in the "wrinkled" terrain of the western Catskills, the foothills rise up in any direction about a quarter or half mile away, max.

You could expand our horizons in the books thread here meanwhile. Still l hope you'll recover quickly!
 
Ordered fish yesterday (which was delivered this morning); paid some bills, and dashed into the city where I bought bread (from the French bakery, I had phoned earlier to ask them to put aside some bread - a campagne baguette, rye bread, and their lemon drizzle cake), beer, and cheese and some cold cuts (in the cheesemonger's).

The cheese haul included Gorgonzola Cremosa, mature Cashel Blue, Camembert, Morbier, Brillat Savarin, Livarot, mature Comte, mature Gruyere, and Pecorino Romano, whereas the cold cuts included some Serrano and some Toscana ham, plus a slice of pancetta, (they were out of guanciale).

And I also stocked up on (Pellegrino) sparkling mineral water.
 
Was enjoying a day off watching Squid Game and getting ready to hit the Peloton when my internet went out. It’s reminding me how remarkably reliable Comcast internet is in my area but I’m not handing it well.

Can’t watch Netflix, can’t Peloton. Halp!!

I figuratively did that. I tried playing downloaded Spotify songs from my iPad to the Sonos system. Didn’t work even though they’re all Wi-Fi connected and Wi-Fi was working fine. It seems to need internet also which doesn’t make sense. I crossed off a couple of things on my To Do list over cellular, brushed my teeth, then internet came back online.

I really was just staring into space for too long, wondering what to do next. I’m 51, shouldn’t be so internet-dependent.

The tricky part is knowing what is internet-dependent and not nowadays. Probably a good idea to pull the plug once in a while just to see what breaks.
