Good Embed

Tomorrow is our three year anniversary! Pretty wild to think that it has already been three years since that great day/party. It seams that after three years people have stopped asking that weird question “how’s married life?” But to answer the unasked question, life is good and wife is good.

We have not been up to much lately; we finally took a weekend to do very little. I had forgotten how nice that could be. Amy and I went for a bike ride on Sunday morning. 16 miles and some change. We took the bike path to Olene, got on Crystal Springs and came back on Hill Road and Reeder Road. It is a great, relaxing ride with little traffic, aside from a very brief stint on HWY 140. There were only two car-backs the whole way. This ride is very scenic, and I will be exploring this area a lot more on the bicycle. The weather right now is perfect for riding, so hopefully I can get some more saddle time. The ride is below in Figure 1.

I have been attempting to read The Fountainhead for about a month now, but only lately have I really made any progress. I am sitting around the halfway point now and I am finally hooked. I would be really interested in discussing this book with someone who has read it who is not in a technical profession. Ayn Rand really delves into the psyche of a technical type. Her characters are ruthless and can seam cold, but there is something heroic about them. I don’t know where this book is heading presently, but I am anxious to discover. I know she was a radical and I do not agree with all of her ideals, but this lady was clearly highly intelligent.

I will be attending a Pearl Jam concert on September 26! Pearl Jam has been my favorite band for a long time and I am finally going to see Eddie perform his melodic mumble in person. These guys have made so much good music. I know they will play a killer set list, and they are pretty reliable about finishing their shows with the epic Yellow Ledbetter. I really hope they play Rearview Mirror and Corduroy. Figure 2 is my public calendar. I will keep it up to date with any major events.

As you can see, I am clearly addicted to embedding things in my blog. As for those of you who think the title of this post is supposed to mean something inappropriate when spoken aloud, I think your opinion is ear elephant.
