T MINUS 30

T MINUS 30.  Thirty days from now I will be on an airplane headed to San Francisco.  Thirty one days from now I will be in a van with 6 other guys headed to Half Dome in Yosemite Park.  Thirty two days from now I will be at the base of Half Dome galvanizing the willpower to ascend to its top.

While this hike is looming in one month, I have re-discovered a new hobby within the past week.  I only rescued my bike one week ago.  I practically forgot that I owned a bicycle for the past three years as it hung unused in a bike locker.  This past weekend, I used it Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Yesterday, I took by bicycle to my local YMCA (3.5 miles from home)   I made arrangements to meet my family at 5:00PM at Whole Foods for dinner.   My daughter snapped this photo of me from the car as we were heading home.
