New year, still the same features which we will start easing back into in the coming weeks. Of course, we can never overlook the site’s most popular weekly feature, checking in on the kitties. <\/p>\n

I caught Phoebe here in a little moment of silly. She has three speeds — affectionate, intense relaxation, silly — and it’s that last one that’s perhaps the most difficult to capture. It’s a little fleeting, and she doesn’t show it off except in just the right circumstance. This, I guess, was one of those moments. <\/p>\n

I’ve come to think of it as the cats are petting me back when they do things like this. <\/p>\n

And, as Poseidon is demonstrating there, they do that quite often. There’s a lot of affection around here. <\/p>\n

I made myself get on the bike this evening. That’s the right verb for it, too. Finally I got talked into a little round of a light spin, and then see how it felt. And, after about 11 miles, it felt pretty good. So I started pedaling a bit harder and faster. I did nine more miles and stayed ahead of everyone who was likewise in the Zwift virtual world. <\/p>\n

Nothing of them knew we were racing, but that’s really their fault, isn’t it? <\/p>\n

So I’ll probably sit around like a slug this weekend and watch football and do a little work and then get back to spinning the back wheel of my bike and going nowhere fast sometime next week. <\/p>\n

Already, I’m behind on my mileage spreadsheet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
