Well, a lot has happened since my last post. The Fudgey Duck closed rather quickly, primarily due to landlord/tennant problems. Its just as well, I'm happy to not have a business to keep Sandi away from home every day. We may re-visit it later, but...

On release day Sandi and I both got the new iPhone 3G S models and they are great. Last week, after having the 3G S only 10 days or so, we were playing Scrabble together over WiFi in bed when all of a sudden the entire left one-third of her screen inexplicably went...

Longest ride to date. Left around 1pm and headed to Holmdel Park. Only took about 45 minutes. After cruising aropund there a bit on the wooded trails we rode to Bell Works, just over a mile away. What a neat place. Grabbed some coffee and headed home. Nice 3 hour trip.

Are Ya Bored With Cycling Posts Yet?

After several days of rain it finally warmed up a bit (48°) so I took a long ride to Sandy Hook Gateway National Recreation Area. Total of about 21 miles. There were some Kite Surfers in the cold waters on the bay side. [video width="1920" height="1080"...

Beautiful water feature at Magnolia Park. I went to a bluegrass festival there last weekend and the views were nice, but the music wasn't to my taste. Not your typical Bluegrass, more like toothless swamp folk singing colloquial lyrics about life.

Sandi and I got the tree up this afternoon. We skipped a few years recently and it was a lot of fun unwrapping ornaments we haven't seen in a while. Here are some pics, all from the iPhone:

I just realized that I didn't post a pic of the new colt born Sunday May 3. The photo below was taken when he was 7 days old. His momma was a maiden mare and both baby and momma were challenged by the whole nursing thing. Baby didn't know where the teat was or what...
