It’s been hot. Then not so hot. Rhonda and I disagree on the historical heat level around these times. She swears its hotter than ever, while I recall thick SJ humidity and gnats from my childhood. We have reason to be suspicious of consciousnesses.

My recent addition/substitution of swimming in the morning has been thwarted by chilly overnight temps. Committing to a full 30 minutes in zone 2 has been a nice return to grinding out some meters on the Concept2.

Speaking of swimming, I’m posting this from Ocean City, New Jersey. Pool, ocean: lots of swim time to be enjoyed.

OCNJ

We’ve been spending a week or two in Ocean City, New Jersey, since 2009. That’s 16 years! We’re here now, and said vacation will explain my dearth of posting. Morning walks, breakfast treks, pool swims, and slices of ‘roni await. See you on the other side.

Glass

Glass is a photo-centric social media service; it’s paid, so the noise is low. There are enthusiastic photogs sharing pics and commenting on others. I like to open the app, widen my own field of vision, and let the images speak for themselves.

Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie

Rhonda and I split a waffle cone of this last night and it was awesome. Kohr Bros will be had, too, and soon.

William Painter

In April 2019, I got my first pair of William Painter sunglasses: “The Hook,” which feature titanium rails and an integrated bottle opener. They’re expensive but they do last. Beach time means sunglasses.
