Large, pan-fried shrimp on an underlay of risotto, a medley of fruits drizzled with evoo, an amorphous helping of Burrata<\/a>. Obtaining the latter for Happy Wife (HW), especially when she doesn’t expect it, often places me in her high favor. And that’s all I care to say about that.<\/p>\n

That was last night’s dinner. Today I ate grass-fed beef. Tomorrow, who knows. We tend not to plan very far ahead when it comes to meals. I marvel at the inventiveness of HW who can open the stainless steel refrigerator doors, pause briefly to gaze upon the mishmash therein, and conjure up a perfectly respectable dinner for us. By the way, if the refrigerator doors are stainless steel why doesn’t a magnet stick? You know the answer. Are the counter tops also not really<\/em> granite? The faux brickwork on the front of our house should’ve tipped me off.<\/p>\n

As leader of an upcoming bike tour I needed to pass an online first aid and CPR course. Took the exam today after a brief review of the relevant material. 50 questions. I’d assured myself when I left school for the last time five years ago (can you believe it?) that if nothing else, at least I’ll never need to take another exam again. Oops. Passed with a score of 96%. Did you know that before administering CPR to an infant you’re supposed to check for consciousness by tickling her foot while making noise? Try that on an adult<\/em> victim and you could end up being the one getting checked for consciousness.<\/p>\n

I was not the winner of the Nenana ice classic. You may recall<\/a> I purchased seven guesses, the earliest one being April 29th @ 3:42 pm. The ice went out on the Tanana River this past Friday, April 25th @ 3:49 pm. I was within seven minutes of the actual time of day, but late by four days. Damn global warming.<\/p>\n

Shaping up to be another warm year. Recall last summer<\/a>? Daytime temperatures are already in the 50’s and it’s still April. Been out riding at least a half dozen times so far. And would you look at that? The sun is out again today. Time to go shed a pound or two.<\/p>\n
