Naps

For Helen and me the traveling/hosting part of the summer is over. We've been home for ten days, and our company headed home this morning.

Now it's time try and invent some sort of routine. I am recently retired, and Helen is taking a 12 month leave from teaching.

We took our bikes out for an 18 km jaunt. We'll probably keep this up until at least the start of nasty winter weather. I also like to fit in a daily run.

We both want to start visiting our community's marvelous new pool. The only problem is that they've just closed for a month of maintenance.

Helen does a lot of music, and I think she has commitments Wednesday and Friday so far.

Jiu-Jitsu starts for me on Tuesday. I end up there six days a week, usually in the evening. There might also be Karate on Mondays.

With all that evening activity you might think we are virtuous, non-TV-watching people. You couldn't be more wrong. We like educational shows, certain sitcoms, and a host of guilty, reality-TV pleasures. The PVR attached to our TV is kind enough to gather them all up for us. We do our evening watching during the daytime.

There are also other hobbies, and errands, and such.

And naps....
