I am currently listening to two audiobooks: Sodom and Gomorrah (translated to English) by Marcel Proust and The Courtship of Princess Leia by Dave Wolverton. I am reading Alien Oceans by Kevin Peter Hand.

I spent the last four weeks learning how to use Jekyll and the Chirpy theme for creating this blog. I wrote about the details on my other blog at sphaerula.com.

We are deep into a New England winter, with plenty of snow, ice, wind, and cold. Surprisingly, my running is going well because the City of Somerville has done an outstanding job of keeping the Somerville Community Path clear. I’m able to do out and back runs up to six miles on the Community Path; for my long run, I run out and back for six miles, take a bathroom break, and go out again for what’s left. My long run has reached eleven miles.

It’s time to take my Trek Valencia bicycle to Ace Wheelworks for its annual maintenance. It’s still too cold for me to ride.

I wrote here about a month ago about Rick Wakeman’s 1975 album The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. I have been listening to it frequently.
