Everyday around noon, a Western Fence Lizard comes out to get some sun on the roof near the window in our upstairs master bathroom. We call him "Wiz" and Ellie likes to watch and sometimes talk to him.

While daddy is slaving away at work, mommy and the kids are having a rough day of lounging. It’s clear who they love the most. Due to contractual disagreements and a feud with Gracie, Ellie was not able to participate in this group photo.
One of my all time favorite SNL parodies and the kind of comedy I would write:
Though I hadn’t ridden outside sine June 26th, I decided to make a run at the North Cheyenne Canyon climb. I’ve previously written about this HERE, HERE and HERE.
Though I’ve lost about 100 pounds since I first tried it last year, I’m still surprised that I’ve been able to knock almost 5 minutes off my PR. Oddly, tonight’s climb felt the slowest of all my efforts though I did notice that I stayed above 7 mph on the super steep section (usually drop below 5 there). Initial attempt: 24:44. New PR: 19:39!
The conditions were ideal, about 60 degrees with no wind and I literally climbed into a cloud which cooled me off even more. When I had set out for a ride, I hadn’t even though of doing NCC but then I realized that I’m unlikely to see weather like this until November.
