I'm doing 32 things
I read some great books this summer, and I feel like I’ve really found a love for learning again. Highly recommended.

Fooling around at work last week, we made a pull-up bar out of some large-ish pipe. (Okay, we were making something else, but it was pretty much a standalone pull-up thing.) I can do five pull-ups – significantly higher than the two I’d been able to do last time I tried. Weight training seems to be helping! Success!
I hiked up Mt. Elden last Saturday. I was sore afterwards, and my diabetic friend’s blood sugar tester’s battery died halfway up the mountain (he was fine, though!), but it was lots of fun.
