Hot! Hot! Hot! Thoughts, Whatever
|
Well, it was supposed to start cooling down today, but you sure can’t prove it by me.
I just went for a walk to the bank, and I started sweating, the moment I walked out of the house.
I know I always say I prefer the heat over the cold, but sometimes there is just too hot, and today is such a case

Oh the fog! Thoughts
|
While there is a lot of debate as to the causes of global climate change, and whether we as humans are able to alter its effects, there is no doubt the climate is changing, and not for the better.
This year has already seen one of the most prolonged cold spells, in southern California, I can remember since moving here 26 years ago, and it is definitely been windier than past years.
Then the last couple of mornings, the weather has been just perfect at the house, but about 8 miles down the coast, towards Huntington and Newport Beach’s, the fog rolls in, and the temperature drops about 10°F.
And now this morning, the fog has moved in big time at the house. I can’t even imagine what it might be like along the coast.
This kind of weather, sure makes it hard deciding how to dress when going for a bike ride, or whether to ride at all, and the last thing I need in my life, at this time, are more decisions to make.
Oh well, I guess that’s what makes life so interesting. You never know what the future might hold.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood Cycling, Golf, Whatever
|
Spring is definitely in the air.
Got up, it was 58oF, and slightly overcast. It was a perfect day to take Edie’s car to be repaired, at Earl Schieb’s in Bellflower, and then go for a bike ride afterwards.
Then around noon, the sun came out, and the temperature soared to around 75oF. I went and hit some golf balls, then had a lesson, which assured me I am doing everything right, I just have to work on tempo and timing.
Once I get that under control, I’ll be ready to defend my title as the Long Beach Mens Senior Open Champion in May.
And finally the article I was interviewed for a month ago, was published today. You can read it here, in the Lifestyles section of ASAP, the AP’s new multimedia service.
I finally got My 15 minutes of fame!

A better start to today Cycling, Thoughts
|
It was 57oF when I left the house for my morning bike ride. Didn’t even need long tights. It definitely looks like spring is rapidly approaching. And the wind never materialized as expected.
We had a slight tail wind, as we headed south along the coast, which made for nice comfortable ride to our first rest stop, around 16 miles from the start. The ride did get a little harder as we continued south for some hill climbing up Newport Coast Road followed by Spyglass hill.
I didn’t perform as I might have hoped, but I did do a hard ride yesterday, plus I rode my old bike, which doesn’t have quite the same feel, but I still beat 3 of the 9 riders up both hills.
All in all I was happy, and feeling good. Things definitely looking up!
