The long stretch of calm has given way to gusts from the southwest at over 40. At Bywater Lane tonight. Will and I took a short bike ride (first time for me on a bike in eight weeks) to the trail leading down a steep ravine to the lakeshore, where the wind was muted by the high bluff to weather. On the way home we nearly got blown off the road.

A good adventure. After dinner Katy and I had a thumb-wrestling contest for which she made elaborate charts to record the scores.
