Work Outs: March 27 – April 2, 2022 (Wyatt saying, “Sup!”, moles, and statistics)
You know it isn’t a huge week when the highlight is getting a picture of one of your cats (in this case Wyatt) having a “Sup!” moment, but sometimes small victories can be sweet and I like to savor them in addition to the larger ones. The workouts continue to go well and I’m still…

Work Outs: March 20 – 26, 2022 (Sand Art at Sunny Cove Beach, Santa Cruz, CA)
Beach art, some of it pretty extensive, is quite common in Santa Cruz, California but one example that caused a bit of a stir (in a good way) appeared some months ago at Sunny Cove Beach, one of many small beaches in the general area. I first learned about this by word of mouth from…

Work Outs: March 13 – 19, 2022 (San Francisco Mission District Work Trip)
On Saturday this week, I made the trip to the Mission District in San Francisco, California and helped with doing some promotional work for a wrestling show coming to the area in early April. I didn’t have time to take too many pictures since I was there working but I was able to snatch a…

Work Outs: March 6 – 12, 2022 (The Chess Gargoyle, Check Owl, and Santa Cruz Trolley)
My husband and I have been playing a bit of chess lately. We’ve set up a chess set on a table and a rule is that the player whose turn it is has to make at least one move per day, though we each can make more than that. During the opening we often make…

Work Outs: February 27 – March 5, 2022 (Dogs, including Dog Transport on Motorcycle, and Ironmind Hub)
We’re finally retiring our old Galaxy 6 phones so the other day I pulled off the great mass of photos that I’ve accumulated over the years. So I have had a chance to look at some pictures (old and newish) I’d forgotten about. One that isn’t too old is this picture of one man’s rather…

Work Outs: February 20 – 26, 2022 (Alligator Lizards and Buddha’s Hand Fruit)
We were out on one of our walks this week when we saw the cheeky, little sprite pictured below. I took this picture and poked around online a bit to try and figure out the species but without any luck. I asked around and one of my sources told me it is a Southern Alligator…

Work Outs: February 13 – 19, 2022 (Valentine’s Day and the Thagomizer Tree)
My husband and I always get a laugh when we walk by this dead tree. It has been a couple of months since we happened by this way and he remarked, “I see the damned thing hasn’t fallen over yet. Wonder when it will?” If you look at the picture closely you’ll see what he…

Work Outs: November 7 – 13, 2021 (Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Reverse Trick or Treating)
It has been quite a while since I posted here, but I thought now that things are settling down a bit with work on The Lost Librarian’s Grave anthology I should make the effort to start posting my workouts again. While I’m usually more focused on weight maintenance rather than loss, I did loosen up…

Work Outs: August 29 – September 4, 2021 (USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier)
The other day, I was looking through some uncatalogued pictures from our 2013 visit to the USS Hornet in Alameda, California. I’ve never done anything with them, so I thought it would be a good idea to show some of them here.* The Hornet is an Essex-class carrier that was built in 1943 and saw…
