I ran my weekend away!
No posts because my Garmin did not do so well on the very steep, very challenging trot up Somma peak. I got there finally, now one of these weekends the trick will be to get up to the actual cone of Vesuvio! My Saturday run with the guys was a great 10k as usual, though it was a bit chilly.
So we’re closer to actual, factual internet. I have my TIM SIM card and there is internet on it, but for whatever reason it’s not working on my Verizon phone. I have the APN set up, but I’m clearly missing something. I have to research more to find out what. It may be I have to jailbreak the phone, we will see, but I will get it working, or I’ll have to buy a new phone at the end of the week. Good news is, I live in a port city area and it will be easy to find a cheap phone that will do the job for now.
Meanwhile, it was sad that my roommate of the last month moved on to (hopefully) better things today, as he’s on his way to Odessa, Ukraine to take a teaching job there. He was, up till now, the best roommate I’ve had, we had a lot of fun packed into a very short span of time and really made the last, crazy month much more enjoyable and bearable. The morning coffee just won’t be the same. And the afternoon coffee, and the evening coffee, and the booze, but mostly the coffee, and old TV like Twin Peaks binge-watching. It was definitely a fun month, through difficult circumstances.
So that was a recap of my weekend and whatnot. Made it up Somma, Got a SIM card and lost a friend, for now. I’m sure it’ll be easy to meet up given the transient nature of the jobs and the fact that we’re both, more-or-less, in the same area of the world.
OK everybody, have fun, keep running and remember; If Gil can run then so can you!
