Reading, Riding, Drinking: First Ski
http://booksbikesbeer.blogspot.com/2009/12/second-tracks.html
Reading, Riding, Drinking. Tuesday, December 8, 2009. We've been getting some steady, light snow all day. So after work I headed out to Ashton for some skiing. I was doubly excited because not only was it my first ski, but I also had a super cool new camera in my pocket. A great birthday gift from the Stephen family. A few people got there first, so I had some tracks to follow. Eventually I caught up to them and was surprised to see it was Sean. Hooray for feeling great! December 13, 2009 at 7:56 AM.

Reading, Riding, Drinking: April 2009
http://booksbikesbeer.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Reading, Riding, Drinking. Thursday, April 16, 2009. On this beautiful Thursday morning, at about 7:45, I was surprised to see that I was the ninth cyclist rolling down College St. toward downtown, work, school, or wherever. I know part of this is certainly due to the fact that spring seems sprung, but I also hope last night's highly successful bike rally. In Des Moines was a part of it, too. For such rallies does not increase. In the meantime I'll keep living the daily bike life here in Iowa City. Hopef...

Reading, Riding, Drinking: February 2010
http://booksbikesbeer.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Reading, Riding, Drinking. Saturday, February 13, 2010. The rest of my time has been spent horse shopping. After nearly two years of riding Steen with Robin we started to talk about getting another horse. We rode this nice Paint. First, but he was big and sluggish and expensive and he might have been lame. Then we rode this very goofy looking and slightly untrained Saddlebred-Paint-Arabian. He was too much horse for me. Finally we went to the Meyer Horse Co. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Reading, Riding, Drinking: March 2010
http://booksbikesbeer.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Reading, Riding, Drinking. Monday, March 8, 2010. Free Burgers and Beer. After a lovely weekend with my parents visiting, Robin and I went for a walk to the library and grocery store on a cloudy but relatively warm Sunday afternoon. On the way we found 30 dollars in the street. We didn't really know what to do with it at first, as anyone could feasibly claim it was theirs. And with no one really about, we decided to go out for happy hour. Links to this post. Monday, March 1, 2010. 8 Layers of kick wax...

Reading, Riding, Drinking: May 2009
http://booksbikesbeer.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Reading, Riding, Drinking. Wednesday, May 6, 2009. A Little German in Me. My beer explorations have steadily continued this week. Monday was my night to cook dinner, and before picking up the food I made a trip to John's beer room. For the liquid. One of their knowledgeable staff members was there giving out samples of Weihenstephener Korbinian. A rather tasty doppelbock that I picked up) and their Hefeweizen. It tasted like a pretty good Hefe, but I am not really a fan of those, so I passed on it. Which...

Reading, Riding, Drinking: New Look
http://booksbikesbeer.blogspot.com/2009/12/new-look.html
Reading, Riding, Drinking. Thursday, December 10, 2009. When you have a wife who builds websites and knows art. You get cool designs. After I got home from skiing today Robin said, "I've got something for you." I had no idea what it could be. I just had a birthday, so I certainly didn't expect new gifts. But when I walked into the study I saw three newly designed icons. And I liked them. A lot. So she put some finishing touches on them and now they're here to stay. Enjoy. Your new look is tight!

Reading, Riding, Drinking: The West Highland Way
http://booksbikesbeer.blogspot.com/2011/02/west-highland-way.html
Reading, Riding, Drinking. Saturday, February 19, 2011. The West Highland Way. In June of 2010 Robin's brother was getting married in Northumberland, England. Robin and I could both get a lot of time off work and decided to go early and just call it our honeymoon. We'd only been married a year, and since we traveled to Arizona for the wedding itself, we didn't really feel like more traveling right after that. Despite our moderately heavy loads, there were a number of things that made the WHW a wonderful ...
