Blended Living

It was finally cold enough to give my new running gear a test flight.  The Asics running pants or tights were perfect in the 50 degree weather as the sun was setting.  The wind just cut through them as I headed out walking, but as I picked up the pace, they proved to be very comfortable.

The leaves were falling in Riverside and made for a slight obstacle course as I headed down the hill and didn’t want to hit a wet patch and suddenly slide.  The setting sun made for some colorful hues as the choppy Hudson waters sparkled and danced for me.  Too bad I ate too recently and couldn’t hit my stride just right.  A couple miles was all I was good for today.

Still it was nice to be out there, not inside on these darkened days and nights.  The 20 minutes was enough to raise my spirits and put in another payment on my health mortgage.  These days that end so abruptly take their toll, so I’m trying to make it a point to be outside more under the sun.  That and the full spectrum bulb over my computer take off the edge of winter.

How many times a week do you wish you could just have someone text your cell with a reminder for those little pesky tasks you have?   Check this site out

You type in your cell number, when, and the message.  ODF does the rest.

I had some problems when I first used ODF, but after adding support for my “ported” number it has worked flawlessly since.  No more late library books, forgotten grocery items, late appointments, etc.
