Winter in Atlanta
A week in snow-covered New Hampshire, where people just function. Then home to Atlanta, where a few square inches of sidewalk ice get more salt than ice and two orange safety cones. Winter is a little different down here.

In-door Rowing
I bought an indoor rower and fell hard for the spreadsheet: splits, distances, calories, records. Five days in, 45k covered, and the wattage stat alone means I could power three laptops for half an hour. Glorious.
Winter is Coming
After ten days in Austin during a 70-day streak of 100-plus-degree heat, a certain picture back home in Atlanta hit me with a special kind of connection.
Apricots
Apricots. I'm sorry for my prolonged absence. You're so very delicious.
Pool!
The neighborhood pool is uncovered, the filter is running, and a guy is puttering around the deck. It'll open soon, and I'll be in Alaska nowhere near it. Props to them for opening on the weather, not the budget.
Fasten Your Hamster's Mask First
The pre-flight safety video tells me to fasten my own mask first, but who exactly would I be helping who handles low pressure better than me? And exit row exclusion number 11 raises the real question: could I bring a hamster in my shirt pocket?
Juxtaposition
The point is, I don't know how to smile and I never did, but at least now I know it. Yes, that's my happy face.
Hippy
My father on the right, Steve Jobs on the left. Too bad they didn't hang out more.
Let it Snow!
I woke from a nap to green grass and black roads, total disappointment. Two and a half hours later it's all better. But Weather.com promised me 3 to 5 inches and this isn't even one, so this had better not be the end of it.
FedEx = Awesome
My three-week-old laptop decided it would only work upside down on battery, so off to the Apple depot it went. I came home from a bike ride to a FedEx missed-delivery tag, then the doorbell rang anyway and there stood the driver with my laptop. My hero.
