Another quiet year at home! This summer could have meant a trip to a 50-year college reunion, but instead we spent time perfecting our housekeeping skills. This lull did provide an opportunity for some writing — here’s a link to the memoirs collected as Lockdown Lit<\/a>, in case you missed them. Next year we’re hoping instead to be able to make the rail journey across Canada that we have already postponed once.<\/p>\n

Our biggest milestone this year was Alex’s new e-bike. Until about the time she got it, we were still having most of our foodstuffs delivered; now, she does almost all our marketing by bike, visiting as many as four stores each week.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the bike on one of its first trips north along the Interurban Trail. An electric bike is a fairly sensible purchase here in Seattle, where two entirely reasonable sections of a route may be separated by a short, steep, disheartening climb. It may well be that Alex gets more exercise now that she doesn’t have to avoid the hardest parts. Her companion certainly does.<\/p>\n

Our next step may be an electric car, if our building management is able to install charging stations as planned.\u00a0 Check back next year, and have a great 2022!<\/p>\n
