    Long time, no posting. This was a pretty excellent summer, I have to say. Not much time for posting. Work was a lot more challenging than you would hope for the summer and I was out running or riding most nights.

  • easter 2013

    As with last year, we took to Cardigan for Easter. Though there is still well over a foot of snow on most of the mountain, today was glorious, whereas last year was chilly, gray and brown. I had slightly more luck sliding this year than last too.
