Sam’s monthly check-in: What’s up, what’s down, the April version

What’s up?

I’m riding my bike outside. Yes, it’s still wintery and windy but for commuting at least, I’m good to go.

We bought a house in Guelph!

I’ve got a new personal trainer who has lots of tricks up her sleeve for leg work that doesn’t involve my knees. I’m getting stronger and that’s great.

First week of April, I got my custom knee brace so longer dog hikes are back on the summer menu.

Wake up Cheddar!

And Tracy and I are gearing up for the book launches in London and in Guelph.

What’s down?

Well, I’ve spent lots of time indoors getting the London house ready to sell. There’s been very little time for recreational bike riding.

My new house is so close to school that bike commuting doesn’t really make sense. I’m not quite sure what to do about that other than taking the long way to work. Or getting up early, riding, and then heading into the office. I’ll work it out, I’m sure.

It’s also been cold and wet and sometimes snowy. Brrrrr!

Still, I’m riding a bit and that’s good.
