New Year 2026

My last post was Jan 27, 2025, so let's see what's happened since then. Nothing really big in my own circles. Doing more strength training to try to build the bones and muscles, because evidentally I'm not getting any younger. Nobody told me that would happen!
I had 3 years of long hair growth cut off - feels much better now!
I'm training to walk the local marathon this year. The last time I did a half-marathon it kind of hurt, even with all the training. I'm going for a low-impact accomplishment this time.
In 2025, we had one good snow in February, but the winter on a whole was pretty warm and unusual.
2026 was even more temperate than 2025.

I went camping, for the first time in a long time, at Baker lake

Made a few trips to Vancouver, BC and saw the some great symphony performances.


Had an interesting meal at a vegetarian place while I was there. Delivere by a robot!


Saw a DEVO concert and went up to Artist Point.


Went to Madrid

in 2026, Visited San Juan Island for the first time, getting caught up in the July 4th weekend crowd (the most walk-ons on a ferry I've ever seen!). In Friday Harbour, Went to the best whale museum I've seen yet! They also had to idle the ferry for orcas on the way back.

Made many walks around the pacific Northwest

Had a nice visit to Langley, WA and Bend, OR
