11 hours - The amount of sleep Barry got last night! This after a long day on the golf course watching the Accenture World Championship. btw: Dana was up at her usual 6:30......

Cycling - Dana and I spent about 1 1/2 on our bikes this morning. A nice easy spin after a week of no running for Barry. btw: Dana would have other words to describe the ride this morning. She did great but described the ride as "an all out workout" and hard work, but very satisfying. She hit 50 kph down the big hill. Her fastest yet!

Swimming - We had a good swim after we returned home from our ride. Very refreshing.

Hot sun, warm wind - While Dana hit the fabric store Barry kicked back and enjoyed the desert sun. Today the wind came up in the afternoon. Although the wind was brisk, it was warm.

A good book - Barry is reading "Reservation Blues" by Sherman Alexie. A very entertaining read.

BBQ - It's friday! Bbq'd turkey burgers coming up. Yummy! And of course, wine. Double yummy!

Olympics on TV - No CBC, Global or CTV here in Tucson. NBC is the official network in the USA. I must say, Bob Costas and the entire NBC crew are doing a very good job bringing the events and action to the US TV market. The reporting is balanced, respectful and informative. Big surprise, but a pleasant one none the less.

Hard to beat a day like today. We must be on vacation!
