4th of July, 2011

We had a great backyard BBQ on Sunday, the 3rd. Mike cooked some great ribs and corn on the cob and our friends brought other dishes to share. We all walked to the park to watch the fireworks. It’s nice that Moorpark does their fireworks show on July 3rd.

Windows Live Writer on the Mac

Thanks to Josh, I now have a way to access Windows 7 on a Virtual Machine on my MacBook. This will allow me to use a couple of Windows applications that are not available for the Mac, such as Windows Live Writer.

Where Am I?

Sorry I am not better about posting things on the blog. Mike does such a good job with posting pictures, etc. of everything that we do, that I feel like my posts my just be redundant.

I would like to report that my cycling is going very well this year. I have a goal of 200 miles per month and have managed to exceed that every month so far this year. I think I should be able to go over 2400 miles for the 2011 year with no problem. (My best year up to 2010 was about 1300 miles.) 2400 miles will be a great accomplishment for me. I’ll try to keep in touch on this adventure.

Went to my first Laker game ever

I got to go to a Laker game at Staples Center. Kobe scored a lot of points, but no one else did, so we lost. Bummer. Where are they lately?

Mike and Nancy at the Finish Line

So we finished the Tour De Sewer and someone was there to take our picture. Nice! We were so lucky to have beaten the rain. My guess is that the “Sewer” was running deep on Saturday or Sunday.

Tour de Sewer

Today the Alderbrook group rode the Tour de Sewer in Bell Gardens. We feared rain, but got a nice overcast day. The ride is fairly flat, so the pace was pretty good. We had to get up at 6am and leave Moorpark by 7:00pm in order to make time to stop at Starbucks before heading down to the ride. On the way home, we actually saw a Krispy Kreme donut shop and stopped for goodies. It’s been a long time and we deserved it!

What is cuter than a baby’s laugh?
