Allison's Post Work Thinking - now that I have time to think: May 2015
http://retiredbicycle.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Allison's Post Work Thinking - now that I have time to think. Saturday, May 30, 2015. We came to Show Low based on reading about the White Mountains trail system on the blog, Occupation of Independence. Now that Jim and I are older, we enjoy the rocky technical trails much less than we used to. The enjoyment of the challenge of negotiating the rocks is now out weighed by my desire to not be maimed. It just takes too long to heal. Tomorrow we'll return with the bikes, and enjoy some suffering at 6,750 feet.

Allison's Post Work Thinking - now that I have time to think: Seafair Weekend and The Blue Angels

Allison's Post Work Thinking - now that I have time to think. Friday, August 1, 2014. Seafair Weekend and The Blue Angels. The bridge, she is closed. There's a dog in the back seat, the air conditioning was running for him for the entire event. I think it's pretty amazing that they close the bridge and have an air show over the lake in a densely populated area. This was the opening act. They are the Patriots Jet Team. Later in the show, another Huey came in and took them away. Is a Marine plane. It's...

Allison's Post Work Thinking - now that I have time to think: December 2014

Allison's Post Work Thinking - now that I have time to think. Friday, December 26, 2014. Back to the Tortolitas. Christmas Day we went back up to the Tortolitas. This time we did the Lower Javelina trail. It's a very nice loop. It has some up down, but is not as steep as Upper Javelina. It was a very enjoyable walk. We love that area, it is so pretty and quiet. It makes us feel very peaceful when we're out there. It's a long drive, but hey, it was Christmas! Thursday, December 25, 2014. Since we were all...

Allison's Post Work Thinking - now that I have time to think. Monday, June 29, 2015. Harrisburg OR to Issaquah WA. Saturday we made the drive from Harrisburg OR to Issaquah WA. It was a terrible drive. Somewhere south of Olympia there had been a car accident. The backup was 4 miles long, with frequent stoppage. Here is Jim, not driving. Here is the traffic. When we reached the point where the GPS on the phone showed the freeway going from red to green, there was nothing! On the left is the Dome of Tacoma.

Allison's Post Work Thinking - now that I have time to think. Saturday, March 28, 2015. McDowell continues to be a superb place to ride. The poppies and lupines and much of the yellow ground cover are turning a little brown, but it's still nice to be here. The cactus bloom continues; it's kind of cool to be riding through a browning landscape and see a flash of color out of the corner of your eye. The purples are just fluorescent they are so bright. We're going to make our way into the traffic hell that ...

So here we go. 1 In separate bowls, place your Gorgonzola, salt, small cubed butter, ground white pepper.

Walla Walla Food and Wine. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Dinner at Jose Andres' Bazaar in Beverly Hills. This last weekend we ventured to Los Angeles with great friends and had our sights set on Bazaar in the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. This is Alice in Wonderland meets el Bulli, what a place! Kind of a tune up for our Spain trip in 2011. Loved this little chip, perfectly fried and seasoned. Consensus, one of the best flavors on the table, very high quality olive oil encased in a sugar membrane. This is just a...
