New Year’s Beach Day

Definitely couldn’t pass up a stroll on Folly Beach in 20°C weather, even though it was kind of overcast and breezy. The wind was whipping up a lot of waves that surfers were taking advantage of. We even ran into some people doing the Polar Bear swim thing. Personally I don’t think you can really call it a Polar Bear swim unless there’s snow and ice around you, but for around here I guess the water’s chilly enough. Anyway we had a nice little walk with the dogs. Simba seemed to enjoy his first trip to the beach, digging up shells and trying to eat them.

Five little known things

Heather hit me with this. I’m not sure I know 5 people that read this blog to tag though. I’m not even sure there are 5 little known things about me. I’m sure there are, but I already know them. I just don’t know if other people know them. I guess I’ll just pick out a few random things that I think people might not know.

  1. I volunteer at the SC Aquarium about every other weekend. I work with the birds: preparing diets, cleaning out their cages, setting them out on display. It’s a lot different from what I normally do which is probably why I enjoy it.
  2. I played viola for about 8 years between grades 4-11. I was pretty good at it too and probably would have been better had I practiced a little more.
  3. I used to be an avid road cyclist back home in Edmonton. With all the bike trails criss-crossing the city and the river valley, it’s a great place to ride. It started with a high school bike trip through the Rockies around the Jasper National Park area. I haven’t ridden since I moved to the US though.
  4. I didn’t own my first car until I was 26, when I moved to Detroit. Before that I either rode my bike where ever I needed to go or took the bus. I knew my way around town better on a bike than I did in a car.
  5. I started my undergrad career with the plan of getting into theoretical astrophysics. Stellar and galactic evolution was something I found very interesting. But like most undergrads, I ended up changing my mind and deciding that medical physics would be a much more interesting field.

I think I’ll try tagging (if any of them are reading…):
