Chilly Morning Workout

 


Inner Harbor windy windy day. 

Great workout with the "plank," my heavy stable non-racer board.


Meredith's gift saving me from hypothermia many years after.


Still counts.

Keller Beach

 


I am hoping to paddle out from here soon.

The launch is about 150 yards down a steep hill, which is a rough carry, especially back up, what with my back issues now. Still, though an exposed site, I look forward to the paddle.

Point Richmond.

Tinker -- After The Trip To The Vet

 


She is holding onto her favorite toy and watching me, keeping that eye contact so that I don't leave her by herself just yet.  I a minute or two, she closed her eyes and conked out, snoring away.

Morning Workout

 



Inner Harbor.

I used the Stiletto today, a narrower and quicker--and more demanding--board this morning.

Crazy Historical, Classically Theatrical

 


A new Irish novel set in 412 B.C.

Captive Athenian soldiers putting on Euripides' tragedy MEDEA in the quarries of Syracuse at the direction of two Syracausan potters . . . .

Inventive, lively -- and deeply grim, as most war stories must be.  I am on page 59 and will keep reading.

Free diving.

Off Timber Cove, I'm thinking.
