Whiteface
Finally got
@seanrunnette to go with me to climb Whiteface. It was a great 28 hour trip. Finally crossed off one of these things I have wanted to do for a few years.
Wrote a blog post here:

Hoping to get back up there with D in August. There's a lot of living to be done between now and then.
2019 - Halftime
This is effectively halftime, as June will run out while we are away. Some stats:
* I average 6.75 hours of sleep a night
* I've done 2948 push-ups & sit-ups this year
* I'm at 299 hours of exercise (note I am writing this before the Sunday ride)
* Strava says 266 hours of that is biking
* Lowest average weight of the year so far, saw sub-200 again in June.
* I've written 91 things - blog posts of various forms, etc (this will go up over the next few days)
* We've done 126 things out of the normal routine of life, 86 of them at a social level - this may sounds stupid but I have found in the past that if I do not keep myself doing things and seeing people I get grumpy
* I've read 12 books
* I've watched 56 movies or full TV series. 45 of these were in the first 3 months of the year, on the bike
* NICA, JORBA, and especially MTBNJ have gone great in terms of my involvement.
* My job, less great.
I am happy with 2019 thus far.
Tomorrow/Sunday
We fly to Paris tomorrow and embark on a 12 day, 11 night whirlwind tour of Europe with the whole family. Paris (3), London (4), Brussels (1), Amsterdam (3). My intention is to post a recap every day on the travel blog then put it here with a link/blurb/picture. Hopefully you follow along.
See you in the second half!
