Sunday morning Chalupa run
I had to drag myself out of bed today. I have not had a full night’s sleep for the last five days and have already posted some 30 miles for the week. I was very tempted to sleep in – but went out for a run anyways since I will be losing the miles when I am in India next week. And I am glad I went. In our Chalupa group, finally we were able to get some gender balance – as many men as women. Admittedly, we had to throw in Jay Jay (our male dog) into the count to get that parity 🙂
We had Samaresh, Joyjit, Ayan, Ashok, Gita, Malobika and Sharmila. And among the youngsters, we had Nikita, Anannya, Raya, Puja and Abheek.
Did I mention Jay Jay? 🙂
From the bartender’s corner – Dark and Stormy
Was reading up some cocktail books to decide what drink to make. Looking outside, the fast growing dark clouds and winds picking up force reminded me immediately of what might an appropriate drink. At least the name is appropriate!!
This is a variation of Moscow Mule and is made from dark rum and ginger beer.
Trail run on a cloudy, breezy and cool Saturday morning
From the bartender’s corner – Elder Bourbon
Sometimes it is about life giving you lemons…
… and you finding some gin and tonic to go with it.
Let’s just say I am not the biggest fan of people who cancel meetings, are late to arrive and late to leave. Both in office meetings and personal life parties. Certainly I am, at times, guilty of the same. But heaven knows how much I try to not do so. Which might explain why I come to parties alone on time and the family comes later.
Anyways, I had a canceled meeting in St. Louis today. I was not amused. Time is truly the only constrained resource I have.
I had to adapt to deal with my blood pressure and recognizing that maybe it was not a canceled meeting – it was an extra hour I was gifted …
I can deal with a gift – went for a quick 5K of run in a nearby trail by the lake and a quick shower in that hour…
