Went to the gym Wednesday (7/17) and did the regular workout. I was kind of tired, but once I got going I managed to do everything within about an hour. My weight has been stating about the same, which I suppose is good--but I'm trying to get more definition in my lower abs. I'm blaming a mediocre diet and the fact that I'm in my mid-fifties for lack of meaningful progress. Doing "mummy tummy" exercises while I brush my teeth seems to help.
Thursday night I was restless, and wound up taking a power-walk up the hill. I think going to the gym at 8:30-ish is conditioning my body to want to be active in the evening. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. I saw one bat (we have some resident fledermauses on our street). At the reservoir, I thought I might see the rising moon, but it was too early for night sky objects other than Jupiter and a faint Antares. Saturn became visible as I walked home.
Back in our yard, I took some photos of Jupiter and its moons, but I haven't uploaded them to see if any of them are clear enough to share. I tried photographing the Big Dipper, the Summer Triangle, and Cassiopeia; but I think the star-trail video the camera took probably came out the best.
Friday morning is a writing day, and I'm warming up with the blog. I've got the laptop raised a little so the screen is closer to eye level, and I'm writing outside under the pavilion. I would have a wireless keyboard in my lap, but Cicero has claimed that territory as his own.
