We bought a kayak recently, and someone from Mr. FG’s work let us pick up his extra kayak so that we’d have two. Mr. FG and and I took them down to the river in our neighborhood and hopped in the water. (Neither of us had kayaked before, although I logged many hours of canoe…
Unless the weather is terrible (like pouring-down rain), I start each day with a 3 mile walk around our neighborhood with Mr. FG. I like walking, but we are currently at a time of year when this is more of a struggle for me. Oppressively humid mornings are way harder for me than cold, dry…

This is a funny question because I really do not tend to think of people (myself or others!) as colors. I discussed it with Sonia, though, and as I thought about it more, I was able to think of some colors that relate to people. For instance, Zoe seems like the color red to me…
