Currently - July '19

This post is already overdue, and I should really be finishing up my packing for RAGBRAI since we leave in less than 24 hours for a week-long bicycling adventure in Iowa. I've ridden over 1,000 miles in the past 3 months to prepare, so I think I am about as ready as I'll ever be.



reading - I'm taking a bit of a break from the urban planning related non-fiction with one of the books in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, and I just picked up Bear Town from one of the Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood.

enjoying - having a competent summer intern at work. With minimal instruction, she's taken ownership of updating links and resources on a website we manage and has been doing a wonderfully thorough job. I am so thrilled to have this task off my plate and really appreciate how quickly she's picked it up.

finding - myself feeling nostalgic for our big trip last summer. I think it's a sign we're due for a vacation as well as a reminder of the importance of keeping in touch with long distance friends and family.

saving - a lot of our usual summer bucket list things for the month of August. Hope we'll be able to squeeze in an outdoor movie and maybe a baseball game along with two work trips and hosting family for a wedding. Eeeek!

tasting - lots of red summer fruit: strawberries, cherries and watermelon. Hoping that peaches will be here soon as well.
