Raven’s Range
Blather around a virtual range

Today is Earth Day and I inadvertently celebrated it by eating mostly nuts, veges and other good stuff. The theme at the sanctuary today was environmental friendliness, and someone brought plates of asparagus marinated in different kinds of flavors and oh, man, I had no idea asparagus could ever taste anything other than nice but slightly bland.

Mmmmm.

I met someone with a husband from Barrow in Lancashire, so we got talking about the Wars of the Roses and other adventures. ;)

It seems to have been one of those weeks where my little legs, whether real legs or mental legs, have been running without a break. The early part of the week was taken up with doing the taxes, the worst part of which was the printer. It yielded humor and a fun blog post, at least.

On Wednesday I did as little as possible, except that I dug out my FitDeck and did a workout and ever since have been suffering with muscles I forgot I had. On the other hand, all those stiff joints started to stretch out and feel happy again, which is why I did the FitDeck. But have you ever tried to do a floor workout in an RV alley roughly three inches wider than you are? It’s not dull. ;)

I am trying to worm my way back into a blogging routine because frankly I am annoyed at myself to have all these wonderful opportunities and not be doing anything with them. It was partially because of this that I decided to join a group ride through Biker Or Not and that’s what took up my time on Saturday.

Actually, I ended up doing three different styles of riding: a massive group ride (at a guess, at least 60 bikes), followed by mini-snarfari on foot and then a solo ride to a rendezvous point where I met with Don to ride back. I’m not going to have to scrabble for photos of the day on Raven’s Rides for a few weeks.

A tractor-trailer fell off the freeway a couple of nights ago, round about two in the morning. I never heard it, but it woke Don up and he told me about it while I was asleep and when I woke up in the real morning I eventually realized it wasn’t a dream. ;)

I also seem to have dropped a pound, finally, for the first time since January.

The rest of the week seems to have been errands and sitting staring at a computer screen with no real desire to write and upgrading endless streams of Wordpresses to the latest and greatest (2.5!) and processing photographs into the semblance of photo essays. Huff-puff, huff-puff.

And, from time to time, sitting in coffee shops with my latest Very Short Introduction and escaping the harsh realities of a life that’s really quite fun. ;)
