As part of my new semi-retired kind of life I'm spending several hours every morning exercising. Today I started about 4 miles from the mountain, climbed for about 3 miles, then rode the 7 miles back to my starting point. It was hot and tiring, but it felt so good. I spent the rest of the day working with a law client, dealing with a broken window on the 3rd floor of one of my parents' properties, and continuing to supervise the renovations on my Popinac rental property that I'm preparing for sale. A lot of progress has been made thus far - well over 50 different projects. New carpet is going in on Wednesday. New blinds should arrive this week or early next. Taking a house from blah to nice is a lot of fun for me. It's almost like a creative process.
