incoherent update

Posted on September 19, 2010 by dichroic

DId a fifty km rowing tour today, rowing about 2/3 of it myself. Far too tired to write more but there’s a bit of explanation in the last two entries on Avontuur. 8:30 PM (now) seems like a really, really, … Continue reading →

That was a good row

Posted on August 12, 2010 by dichroic

I was actually pretty happy to have any decent row at all, since I first biked there the 8.5 km from work, but in fact this was an especially pleasant row, though not too long. (These facts are quite possibly … Continue reading →

catching up

Posted on August 9, 2010 by dichroic

It was a nice quiet weekend, and I can tell I needed it – I slept until 9:30 both days, which is unusually late for me even on a weekend. (Only problem is, that didn’t help me get enough sleep … Continue reading →

I promise there is absolutely no soccer in this entry

sleep-dep fuzzy-brain

Posted on July 8, 2010 by dichroic

I was seriously thinking of bailing on rowing yesterday – I was tired and fuzzy-brained after work, and I haven’t been sleeping well. But yesterday was nice and cool after the heat of last week, and temperatures are due to … Continue reading →

still here, just quiet

Posted on June 22, 2010 by dichroic

Ted is here, yay! Unfortunately this is a shorter trip; he’s only in for 13 days. *Most* unfortunately he leaves two days before our anniversary. It’s sort of hard to get mad at him as I only realized it a … Continue reading →

update, on the usual topics

Posted on June 8, 2010 by dichroic

Travel, rowing, knitting, clothes, books … check. Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything. Oregon was good; I’d forgotten how beautiful the drive along I-5 north of Ted’s hometown is. It reminds me of the scenery in … Continue reading →

rowing update

Posted on May 17, 2010 by dichroic

The combination of Jonquil’s and Orbitalmechanic’s entries reminds me that I haven’t written much about rowing lately. The thing is, it’s going really well; I had been on the water so little in the last few years, and I’d slacked … Continue reading →
