Turns out iTunes 10 does not like my (old as sh*t) original iPod video. Which is fine by me, because I dont like the new layout. Downloaded iTunes 9. Happy iPod, happy me.

At post baptismal food party at cousins house in connecticus, catered by stew leonards. Been up since 10pm. Can't decide whether to eat more, drink more or sit here to save energy and stamina.

I moved some dirt around from one side of my back yard to the other. Yay homeownership!

Thinking about talking to my weightlifting buddy, a car salesman, to see what kind of options I might have when my lease runs out. I'm still debating keeping it or getting something different when the time comes. Long thought process can go into this one.

It went THAT well, huh?

I rode my bike ~15 miles yesterday over two different rides. And played soccer for over an hour. I am lethargic this morning.

We bought a bike trailer for µSquint and he loves it. He's been in a pattern of not wanting to sleep until it is dark out (and we can't break him of this habit.. yet), so I just took him out for a while last night in the trailer.

And, as an update to home-buying, I think we have to decided to keep renting for the moment. We both feel more comfortable with that, even if I have a longer commute. The area where we currently live is nicer and has far more conveniences nearby within walking distance.

I rode for 2.5 hours yesterday (stopped here and there due to heat) for a total of maybe 12 miles. Then a total of about 5 miles on foot. The heat kicked my ass yesterday.

Our heat was fine yesterday, mid 80s isn't too bad with random clouds. The humidity was bad though - walk out the door and start sweating immediately. Both soccer and cycling left me with more than one drenched shirt yesterday.

Same here - it was only 90, but the humidity was up there.
