With the colder weather approaching, I need to remember that I have a perfectly good treadmill in the basement. ;) <br /><br />Danielle - Hi, back! No apology necessary. I truly understand how difficult it becomes to comment on all the blogs I follow. There simply isn't enough time in the day to do it all! Yes, I remember that you're in Omaha--did you suffer any damage from that awful hail storm in August? I finally got my car repaired from all the damage. It looks brand new again. Of course, it's only a year old!<br /><br />Nan - I would! And, I think you're right. Tweed sounds just about right. :) See my comment to Staci about my treadmill. I can't find excuses this winter! I must walk!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-87130318850649971842011-10-18T11:44:20.696-07:002011-10-18T11:44:20.696-07:00Wouldn't you love to see a photo of him bicycl...Wouldn't you love to see a photo of him bicycling? I bet he didn't have clothes like yours. Tweed I would guess. <br />There's only so much time in a day and only so many days in a life. 'Do what you love and love what you do.' I love that saying. You are in better shape than those of us who sit and read. :<)Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-43552032044305544302011-10-17T20:00:32.127-07:002011-10-17T20:00:32.127-07:00Hi Les--Thanks so much for the comment you left--i...Hi Les--Thanks so much for the comment you left--it's really nice to hear from you! I have been following your blog via Google Reader for quite a while, though I am sorry I am such an awful commenter--I always seem to run out of time and can't catch up on leaving comments as I would like, but I have enjoyed seeing all your vacation pics and hearing about the books you are reading (lots of people seem to be having off years with books and blogging it seems). As I am in Omaha I can totally relate to weather events which you occasionally mention as well. I'll try and come out of lurkdom more often now! :)Daniellehttp://www.danitorres.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-8969440687800896452011-10-17T16:56:42.146-07:002011-10-17T16:56:42.146-07:00I agree with Kathy!!

There certainly haven't been as many "great" reads as in years past.<br /><br />Kailana - True. And the weather's getting colder, so I'm sure I'll be curled up on the couch, hunkered down under a quilt, before too long. I should try to pick out a dozen "must read" books to finish the year off.<br /><br />Kay - Thanks! That photo was taken right after I got my new cycling jersey and shoes. Gotta have all the gear. ;) Now to get armed with some pepper spray or mace in case I encounter another dog. Or skunk! <br /><br />Yes, here's to a better year of reading in 2012. <i>I still can't believe we're in the 2000-plus years. Shouldn't we have flying cars by now? ;) </i><br /><br />Diane - Oh, I'm not too worried. It just seems a bit odd to have such a low number this year when I've always been a fairly voracious reader. Guess I should try to "unplug" a bit more and stay away from Facebook and Pinterest! <br /><br />Marg - Oh, I know. I just look around my office and bedroom and see all the stacks of books waiting to be read. I guess I know what I'll be doing in my old age... ;)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-41889141211369236012011-10-16T22:52:25.806-07:002011-10-16T22:52:25.806-07:00There are worse things that you could be obsessed ...There are worse things that you could be obsessed with!
