Work Outs: August 15 – 21, 2021 (Sprints with a random dog, and dragon meat at the thrift store.)
Sun, August 15th Afternoon Walk: 6.51 miles. I did some sprinting uphill and then walked back down the hill and rejoined my husband and walked back up the same hill. I did this a few times during our little hike. At one point someone’s off leash Jack Russell terrier-looking dog decided to ignore his owner…

Work Outs: August 8 – 14, 2021 (Repurposed ashtray as decoration, military press, and my last editing deadline for The Lost Librarian’s Grave.)
I was going through some old stuff when I found a white, stone (apparently hand carved) ashtray in a forgotten box of stuff. I’m not one to toss things that aren’t mine, so I asked my husband about it and apparently the ashtray has been in his family for 75 or 80 years now, and…

Work Outs: August 1 – 7, 2021 (“The Kraken” and other liquid libations.)
I reached my 50% editing goal I set for myself last week with The Lost Librarian’s Grave. My new goal for this week is 75%. I recently edited two ocean/water-based stories,* and was thinking about them when we happened to swing by a Whole Foods down in Santa Cruz** to grab some miscellaneous groceries and…

Work Outs: July 18 – 24, 2021 (and Castle Ravenloft Board Game Session)
It was nice being able to enjoy a little gaming again with three friends and this time it was the Castle Ravenloft D&D board game where I had an excuse to use a dwarf I painted more than a year ago now. We’ve been playing the scenarios as a campaign, and this time it was…

Work Outs: July 11 – 17, 2021 (Book in the Forest)
I got out of the habit of posting my workouts as I shifted focus to my book publishing project with most of my online activity taking place on my new Redwood Press site. That is going well and although I’m still focused on it, I think it is best that I get back into the…

Work Outs: April 11 – 17, 2021 (Quick & Easy, Vegan Curry using Patak’s Rogan Josh simmer sauce)
We have a number of meals, that I make during the week, that we often cycle through because we like them, they are reasonably healthful, and most importantly — they are quick and easy to make. A winning combination! One of those weekly meals is a curry of some sort. This week I used Patak’s…

Work Outs: April 4 – 10, 2021 (Golf Ball Spider)
I’ve been posting pictures of salamanders, slugs, scorpions, and of course spiders off and on and of these worthy, little critters my favorites (I don’t know why) are spiders. This short video of a spider was taken one town over from where I live. So far as what kind of spider it is, guesses include…

Work Outs: March 28 – April 3, 2021 (Hoover Stew)
We saw this recipe for Hoover Stew from The Wolfe Pit and I thought it might be amusing to make a pot of it. As chance would have it I had all of the ingredients on hand, including some plant-based hot dogs, since my husband has been eating plant-based for quite some time now. Apparently…

Work Outs: March 21 – 27, 2021 (Mountain Lion and Ring Necked Snake)
I thought this short video of a mountain lion out for an evening stroll was interesting, given that it was taken near my neighborhood. I see their tracks all over the area. In my yard, on the hiking trails, their signs are all over the place if you look for them. There are the more…
