Fin de semana en El Rinconcito Beach

I had a couple of meals at Los Traviesos. Food is reasonable and pretty good. Breakfast was delicious. Experienced Solstice at Ventanilla. It was a wonderful experience.

Nice run in the morning

The temperature looked cold but it was not low enough to keep me in bed. I know how much I need to go outside and exercise. We decided to go to Ashton and either walk or run. We decided to warm up for half a mile and then did four intervals of 0.5 mile run and 0.25 mile walks. We noticed they have cleared some trees and bushes and it appears they are making the course wider. It felt good when we finished the workout.

Windy Morning Ride and Reflections on AI

This morning, the temperature was in the 50s, but the strong winds—gusting up to 26 mph—made it feel much colder. Despite the weather, we set out from the Crossroads Hy-Vee and headed south toward Tiffin, looping back through North Liberty. The ride ended up being a little over 20 miles. I hope I can keep up my goal of exercising every day. There’s something much more invigorating about riding outdoors compared to being stuck inside on a stationary bike.

Later in the morning, I tried calling Sophia, but she didn’t pick up. Hopefully, it just means she was already at school on time, which is what really matters. I also came across an essay she wrote about artificial intelligence. Honestly, she might know more about AI than I do! It’s incredible how much this field has advanced and the possibilities it offers.

Oscar's birthday

 I sent my brother a Happy birthday message this morning. He responded he wanted to call me, so I called him. We talked about Assen and Sophia. He said he feels pretty healthy (although he is completely blind). He sounded like he is in a very good mood. He is now 63 years young. He has always amazed me of his intelligence. We had a nice chat. I told him I have plans to visit him in August.
