We are now the proud owners of a Frigidaire beverage cooler!

For years, I’ve wanted to get a small beverage refrigerator. FOR. YEARS.

Every so often, we had a party, I’d buy all these beers and other adult beverages, we didn’t use them all, and then they cluttered up the fridge for months. For a time, I had my old college mini fridge out in the garage that we used, but it was inconvenient and a little dirty.

With the pandemic forcing us to be home, I kinda like having a cold beer after a bike ride. We invested in a Frigidaire mini fridge from Lowe’s, and it’s been so nice. A worthwhile investment.

Luke and I have new matching sunglasses

I recently dropped and cracked a lens in my nice blue Ray-Ban sunglasses. Argh. I ordered new ones, in gun-metal grey. Luke wanted some new ones as well, so I took him to Target to grab a pair. We’re soooooo good-looking, it hurts.

I’m seeing a new hair stylist and she’s the cutest

I recently thought about how my haircuts are fairly easy to perform. Nums offered to cut my hair, so I took her up on her offer. For the past few weeks, she’s been cutting my hair (a buzz cut) out in the backyard every two weeks. It’s not bad to save a little $$$.

Spending July 2 at Bradley Beach with friends

We made plans with two other families to hit up Bradley Beach before the potential July 4th crowds (in a pandemic.) It was a nice day, and good to hang out other fun people.

4th month of the pandemic and I’m killing it on the bike – 436.8 miles biking and walking in June

436.8 miles in one month? Huge milestone for me. I was out biking or walking (or both) nearly every day. I often took a day or two off at the end of the week to recuperate.

If you were wondering how our famous cats are doing during the COVID-19 pandemic

A lot of people ask us about how our cats are doing. I’ve read that some pets are thrown off by their owners being home now during the pandemic. Ours? Couldn’t care less, really. They come and go, rotating between nearly everyone throughout the day. I think they have a schedule. Every day around 4 PM, Scamper goes to the master bedroom, and takes a nap next to Nums on her 2nd chair.

To answer your question, “Yes, our cats are fine.”

We celebrated Father’s Day with a hike and a nice dinner

Happy Father’s Day!

I started this year’s Father’s Day by sleeping in, if you can believe it. My usual Sunday group ride was held the day before instead.

In the afternoon, Nums, Luke, and I went on a hike at nearby Clayton Park. Pretty nice park, and I would recommend it if you haven’t been there.

For dinner, we went to Just in Old Bridge on Rt 9. Although it is located on Rt 9, and our outdoor dining experience was marred by the road noise, it was still nice to be out with the family.

An anti-climactic last day of school

What anti-climactic end to the school year. The end of school usually means the big good-byes, signing of yearbooks, the big bus ride home. With the kids home for the past few months, there was no perceptible end of school year. The kids finished their last assignments, shut down their Chromebooks, and that was it.

My wife suggested I take the kids to take some photos, to give them some closure on this year. school year.

Josh and I rode 10 miles around Princeton to get him to his 100 miles goal before the end of the school year

Josh told me that he had a personal goal to hit 100 miles before the end of the school year. With the end of school coming up on Thursday, he was running out of time. I went on a group ride early Sunday morning, but I was still game for a relaxed ride.

We decided to drive to Princeton so we could try new a new neighborhood. We knocked out the last 10 miles that he needed in 1:13. To celebrate, we grabbed frozen yogurt at Fruity Yogurt on Nassau St.
