Worked on the email list last night. Went over 1,000 subscribers.
\n\"\"
\nI doubt I’ll add many more because the email program we use, MailChimp, starts to make us pay around $30\/month. Or even more! We haven’t been able to monetize that list, so I don’t think it’s worth it.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ll still collect snail mail addresses and add all the adults on the team who come to work with us to our list. At least for a few months. We have about 1\/10 ratio of people that decide to help us financially.<\/p>\n

Woke up to a beautifully cool morning. The temperature was in the low 70s! Kathy hadn’t slept well so decided to rest. I rode only a short time yesterday so decided to push myself to today and see just how far I could ride. <\/p>\n

I decided to shoot for a Marathon distance 26.2 miles. Even on a bike that’s a LONG way!<\/p>\n

So cool and beautiful. Lots of lovely smells in the air. Reached my goal and was properly tired out. My final distance was 28.28 miles. Wow! Not bad for a 60 year old!
\n\"\"
\nRode almost exactly 3.5 hours. That’s a long time on the bike. I kept thinking what it must be like to ride in the Tour de France! I drank over 3 liters of water.
\n\"\"
\nAlways something beautiful to see.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nYou can tell when we’ve had heavy rains. Yellow river turns brown.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

My arms got a little sunburned. <\/p>\n

Studied Spanish and Swahili.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\n\"\"

\nGot home after my ride and rested.
\nEnjoyed playing Battlefront 2 and using the Muse to practice generating Theta waves. I seem to do much better while playing games than just with my eyes closed using the more traditional meditation methods.
\nAdmin duties now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
