I think this is a purple Clematis

Sharmila mentioned that there are two other colors of Clematis in her garden. I will see if I can get good shots of them on the iPhone.

It has been a long time since I ran a 10 mile run

Thanks to Lia, I was able to finish it out without getting bored or tired. The cooler temperatures helped. Lia kept us on a strict 2 min run, 30 second walk interval routine throughout the run.

Took us 1 hour 54 minutes to finish it out. The left quad was starting to complain but was able to power it thru…

This does not happen too often…

… I am not exactly a night owl. But then again, with great company like that of these two, even I can stay up past midnight in the bar!

Some old Mohammad Rafi numbers

Opened up another LP record that I had bought in Kolkata – some classic Bengali numbers from Rafi that we grew up with in early childhood (e.g. “Aajo Madhuro Banshori Baaje”).

Motorbike ride to Ballground

Met good old Adam Miller in the same coffeehouse. We came out to check what he has done to his motorbike. Looked great. And it took him only 3 weeks to spruce up the bike he had bought.

Adam, originally from Chicago, started motorbiking AFTER me (just a year back) and is already into fixing bikes!! He is an avid surfer and has been to our most favorite country – Costa Rica for surfing!

We rode back to Alpharetta together.

This funny T-shirt comes from my daughter

Nikita is part of a Mock trial group. Apparently, she is the co-President of the group. Their funny T-shirt – apart from naming the Defense team (which she is part of) and the Plaintiff team, also reads – “Your Honor, I am confused” !!! 🙂

From the bartender’s corner – Rum Runner

This has a lot of ingredients in it… one ounce each of white rum, dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, banana liqueur, blackberry liqueur and then a dash of grenadine.
