It’s been 3 days that I sleep quite badly. The guys plowing the area are coming with their big truck at 3 AM to remove the snow and put salt in front of the door so that we are not slipping when we come out in the morning. That’s pretty annoying because I cannot goContinue reading “Running in the snow”

Minimalism
I love the idea. To rely on only few things, not be disturbed by too much stuffs around you, be able to live with the very strict minimum. It makes life easier for sure! Not to mention avoiding buying, wasting, belonging to this one-time-use society. However, I am sure I can’t live in an emptyContinue reading “Minimalism”
Cooking
I have been cooking a bit every day recently. Our “cantine” was closed at Thanksgiving and I took the time to cook a bit more. With the local radio to listen to the news, or a bit of tango, the time goes fast and I have some dishes for the evenings. I also had fewContinue reading “Cooking”
Before the storm
Beside the 32 burpies, I also had a run today, the long run of the week. I run on Schooner Head trail then Park Loop Road until Monument Cove and back. It was very calm, quiet, the sun so bright that the temperature seemed not too cold (until I removed my gloves for more thanContinue reading “Before the storm”
December challenge
We decided, Fidel, Jules, Lea and myself, to engage on a challenge of doing 1000 burpies within 1 month, each of us. Which means that we will do 32 burpies per day, everyday, for 30 days, and 40 the last day. If you are not sure what a burpee is, here is the link ofContinue reading “December challenge”
Winter kit
A snow storm is announced to arrive between Sunday and Monday. I planned to attend a conference at 6h drive from here, but this was cancelled, because of the storm. I think I need to get used to it and get some new habits such as booking hotel rooms with a “yes-cancellation policy”! But guessContinue reading “Winter kit”
Thanksgiving (part 2)
My day begun with no heat at home – again! Because it was Thanksgiving the team that had to come to repair took a long while, but I am grateful they were working! That was finally fixed. More interesting, it was snowing (I told you it was announced!)! And I went for a hike. ItContinue reading “Thanksgiving (part 2)”
Consumerism
We want it more, we want it better, we want it cheaper, we want it without worms, we want it faster, we want it year around, we want it for everybody, we want it updated, we want more profits, we want things easier, we want less efforts, we want it all and we want itContinue reading “Consumerism”
Thanksgiving
Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving. Remembering my first Thanksgiving (and the only one for now): it was a great moment spent with friends in Singapore, thank you Emma and Jamie! This year is another special one since it is the first in the US. I may well stay home or go hiking… cautiously because it looksContinue reading “Thanksgiving”
Food for the week
New home, new town, new country, new food… Yeahh! But based on their reputation and on what I could appreciate from outside USA, I didn’t put much expectations on US food. The “cantine” is relatively good: excellent choice in the salad bar; there are always soups, although quite often sweet; pizzas are good – theContinue reading “Food for the week”
