During July, I managed to bike to work on 12 of 31 days in the month.
Of the 31 days during the month, I worked 19 days. I drove one day and totaled 6 days walking/taking metro.
At the end of the month, I biked to work a total of 12 days.
After 7 Months, I’ve biked to work a total of 103 of the total 213 days.
I posted the following platform idea to the RNC’s National Security Issues platform at 2:07 PM on July 23rd:
Pay our dues, in full, to the UN. Multilateralism is an effective show of strength, around the world and here in the US. This strength requires (a relatively small) financial commitment to the UN and overwhelming support to its goals. The GOP platform MUST emphasize engagement in global matters through engagement in the United Nations. In addition to our regularly assessed dues, UN Peacekeeping is the single least expensive national security activities available in today’s world.
I am also planning to post this idea to OnDayOne.org - Another good site for the National Committees to check out for platform suggestions.
Did I bike past Senator Webb today?
On my ride into work this morning, I was riding down Mass Ave (which I ride every morning) between Thomas Circle and 7th Sts. I pulled up to a stop light and noticed a weird looking all black towncar. The plates were from Virginia and read: Senate 2. All of the windows were tinted and I couldn’t get a good look inside. However, from what I could tell, there was only one person inside, the driver, wearing a tie and jacket.
I voted for you and then I beat you off the line with my 12 speed!
The cat is definitely out of the bag: Mary and I are planning a huge trip (not quite round the world, but nearly there). Planned destinations are South America and Asia for (estimate) 4 months, each. We’ve been saving our pennies and laying the ground work for a long time now. Fortunately, the stars have come together and it’s time to pull the plug on our normal lives for exploration.
We received our Lonely Planet books last night and were excited to crack them open. We’re trying to NOT stay up all night reading about our impending adventures. After checking them out at the bookstore, we ordered the India (Country Guide) and South America (Shoestring). We have also ordered the Southeast Asia: On a Shoestring book, which should arrive sometime this week.
We haven’t signed up, yet, for the Philly Half Marathon, but are seriously considering having a go at it. Mary and I had a great time during the race in 2006:
I’ve added (and made public) Hal Higdon’s Intermediate Level Training to my Google Calendar:
Check it out and feel free to add it to your Google Calendar, too. I’d also like to dust off my running log, which has been covered in cobwebs during the winter hibernation.
During June, I managed to bike to work on 14 of 30 days in the month.
Of the 30 days during the month, I worked 19 days. I drove two days and totaled 3 days walking.
