The Return of the Highlander
So, some updates.
My whole running plan which I talked about at the beginning of the year sort of fell by the wayside. It wasn’t for lack of trying. I was running and I was on track. Then, I came down with one of the worst colds I ‘ve ever had. It lasted for about three weeks. I coughed for threes weeks. It was pretty miserable. But then I got over it. I started running, picking up where I left off. That lasted a week. Then I got my second chest cold of the year. That lasted about two weeks.
I decided that I was pushing it with the cold, dry air. Now that I’m feeling better I’m taking a new tact to get the cardio going again. I cleared a space in the spare room (which is still box storage for items I haven’t unpacked) and setup my road bike on a stand. I’ve started riding again while watching Futurama on my laptop. So far, so good.
What else? The house. Winter time; not much to be done during this season. I’m planning several projects though and will see how much I can do myself. I’m planning a vegetable garden based on the French kitchen garden concpt. Inside, there’s rewiring the upstairs so the majority of the house isn’t on one circuit. Then, I want to insulate the attic. I’m planning a new layout for the kitchen which will most likely require tearing down the walls to the studs and the moving of a door. Then there’s the worlds smallest bathroom. Oh, and the drainage problem with the plumbing.
I just made myself sad. No, overwhelmed.
Then, there’s the band with no name. We’re finishing up recording an album and writing stuff to follow it up. But that’s all I’m going to say about it so as not to upset Dave by talking about the band.
Finally, I’ve been thinking of reviving the Hudson Highlander. I’m thinking of getting a smaller HD camera which I hope will be more convenient to use (and less bulky) than my current camera. I did recently get a gorilla pod which will be great to use in the field. I’m also thinking of breaking the show out from just hiking. I may do a five borough bike ride with my brother and niece. It might make for a fun episode.
Well, that’s it for now.
Not to invite myself, but I’m totally in on both the reviving of the podcast show and the 5 borough bike ride. I’ve done it before and it was a lot of fun…and it’s about time for another run.
And as far as The Podcast, I remember telling you that it could be something much bigger!

You’re right. It’s just I spread myself thin and something that takes time like the highlander gets put aside. Not that your volunteering, but I may draft you for some help or professional advice.
And your more then welcome to join us for the bike ride. I still have to signup, but it’s just a formality.

I still want to see that footage from the aborted second HH episode – the lower half of Anthony’s Nose.

Ah the miserable lost episode. I’ll have to go through my unmarked tape collection.
