How it started how it's going Exercised every day of 2020 starting Nov 17, and every day of 2021 so far (til Nov 16 today) making it one year of daily running, indoor treadmill/ski machine, or biking (and some day two). Working from home has its charms.

Let's hope for another 'dos a cero'! Go #USMNT And here is what I just made: tarte alsacienne (with onions). I used Mexican colors: white + red (onions) + green (halapenos). Turned out well. Picture has one after / one before baking. Now off to the pub to watch with friends...
