Tempus sine blog

Well, it appears that you and I have been living our lives sine blog for the past couple of days. Every now and again these breaks are kind of necessary. The news from me is as follows: Yesterday I broke my record on the Loma Mar ride which I now do regularly. My new time is 1:12:00 (slightly rough; could be off ±20 seconds maybe). This is the strenuous part of the annual road race that has been called one of the most difficult races in America. Of course, they do a 30 mile loop 3.7 times, and I only go out and back across the most difficult 7.7 miles (a total of a perfect 15.4 mile ride), but that is good enough for me. I'm attempting to get a hold of my mentor for this grant that I'm doing because we've had communicational difficulties. So much for our world's alledged interconnectedness. The other void into which a great deal of my time is being sucked is Les Misérables. And believe me, that is a void: 1260 pages of void. But it's a "super-wicked-cool" (I've been informed by a close relation that this is a common phrase used in Boston to denote something that has immense appeal) void. It is the epitome of historical fiction with fiction hardly outweighing the history, and a gorgeous tale (I mean epoch (pun intended)) of corruption, human decency, and intrigue. I think it may be headed toward my favorites list.

The weather has been cloudy here for the past few days. I think all of the great weather we've been having in La Honda has caught up with itself, and we now get to experience all of the fog that we've narrowly avoided all summer. I've decided that I'm going to make an award called the "Adams Blog's Lamo Windows Software of the Year: Web Browser" which goes to Internet Explorer for having elegantly surpassed the lamo level of any other similar windows product which has a strong presence (exempli gratia Mozilla, Mozilla this, Mozilla that, et cetera, at 1.6% global usage share), and for embodying the meaning of the word "lamo" in the purest sense. I'm not an expert in the field of browsers, but the Adams Blog awards are based merely on my personal experience.

That's about all I have to say for the day.
