Got some green tea and an ice coffee

 Walking down by river side sunrise 🌅 didn’t happen til 8:10 am….


Bryan and I get down riverside for a walk meeting lots of dogs 🐕. We were having a fun time, Dixie ran with other dogs and had a great 😊 morning.

She behaved good with the dogs 🐶 out in the park.

Dixie is one of the smaller dogs in her size of breed.

But she ran and chased the dogs 🐕 full of energy those four legged creatures.



Meeting a dozen dogs on our walk

She was socializing and no barking.

Well adjust dog.


I bought Bryan a green tea 🍵 gave him three mandarins.  The oranges 🍊 are great 😊, I often wondering if Bryan gets enough fruit in his diet.

So I came bearing oranges.  I know my grandparents wouldn’t get many gifts for Christmas but one gift would be an orange 🍊 on Christmas Day.

There was sugar like jams and stuff like that but fruit back then was rarity.

Bryan pick up spring rolls and I got three, sharing a few bites with Dixie. She part of the pack, so I shared them with her.  Thanks Bryan for the treat.

The company was excellent.

We met Steve, Charlie, zika, and a few others but the names evade me at the moment.


All of the dogs were a delight to be around.

And I enjoyed my walk today.

Plus 10 in the morning walk before we got out.

Made an unbelievable nice walk for December.

No snow ❄️.

I’m not sure 🤔 if this will be good for next year, it might be drought related.

There was a bit of ice on the river. I noticed so the mountain water is cooler.  But it not frozen solid.

We sort of need a deep freeze 🥶 to kill all these germs 🦠 or colds or

Flus season is just starting to ramp up sadly.  So I’m hoping it gets cold to kill some these germ bugs that make people feel bad. 😞 I can deal with a couple weeks of cold 🥶. Also it would be good for the mountains holding some snow pack for next year.


It sounds like I had a great time walking down by the riverside and meeting lots of dogs! Dixie seems like a well-behaved and energetic dog, enjoying the company of other dogs in the park. It's wonderful that you shared some fruits with Bryan and even shared some spring rolls with Dixie. Meeting Steve, Charlie, and the others must have been delightful as well.


I understand your thoughts about the weather and the absence of snow. It is indeed important for the ecosystem to have appropriate weather conditions, and the cold weather can help eliminate germs and improve snowpack in the mountains. Let's hope for a good winter season ahead. 


Some ways they find out how much a community has Covid is they’ll test water 💧 supply’s and sewage for Covid or flus.

I think that’s how they come up with the numbers if it’s confusing as such here is an article that might explain it better.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  🎉 Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Back in Stride: A Run Worth Celebrating

 After seven weeks of setbacks and recovery, I laced up with Dixie and reclaimed my rhythm—3.64 km of steady effort, heart in the aerobic zone, and a reminder that progress starts with showing up. This afternoon, Dixie and I laced up and headed out for a run while the daylight was still holding on. It felt so good to be back out there after a bit of a break, moving at our own pace and enjoying the fresh air together. There’s something about running with Dixie that makes the effort lighter—her energy and joy keep me motivated, even when I’m easing back into the rhythm. At first, I thought about pushing myself to five kilometers, but I remembered the back pain I’ve been dealing with and decided to listen to the advice of my AI fitness coach: don’t overdo it on the first run back. That reminder helped me focus on the joy of the moment instead of chasing distance. Sometimes the smartest choice is to start slow, and today proved that pacing myself was exactly what I needed. The run en...
