Last week, I went bike riding on the Big Creek Greenway. I rode about 20 easy, flat miles. I tried out my new Garmin Oregon 450 which I mounted on my bicycle using the Garmin bike mount. Here is the Big Creek Greenway Bike Ride Garmin Adventure. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s possible to… Continue reading Big Creek Greenway Bike Ride

Jingle Jog
Last weekend, I ran the Jingle Jog 5K. This was an exciting event because Amber, Michelle and I were all participating. I ran this 5km race at Michelle’s pace, who did very well. Here’s a map of the route, along with elevation, my heart rate and speed graphs. According to the official results, my chip… Continue reading Jingle Jog
Gobble Jog 5K
After years of running for a while and then quitting because running is hard, this summer I decided to try again. In June, I started using the 9-week couch-to-5K program with the Get Running iPhone app. Since it was summer in HOTlanta, I did all my running/walking on a treadmill at the gym. But I… Continue reading Gobble Jog 5K
Skiing
I took Michelle skiing for the first time in late January. Living in the South, the closest somewhat decent option was in West Virginia. So we drove 7 hours to Winterplace. Despite the warm weather, the conditions were decent enough. We had a lot of fun. Michelle loved it and is a better skier than… Continue reading Skiing
Bicycling on Alpharetta Greenway
Yesterday, the weather was nice. So we loaded up our bikes on the car and headed to the Big Creek Greenway. Michelle and I rode our bikes for about an hour. Here’s the trail map. The trail was crowded and it was a lot of fun.
Seventeen and Forty-One
This month we celebrated 17 years of our marriage. It’s been a long, great time. Also last week I turned 41. For my birthday, Amber and Michelle got me a bicycle, a Cannondale Quick 5 hybrid. And here I am, a long long time ago.
Computer Upgrade
Four years ago, I built my desktop computer. Now it was getting a bit long in the tooth, so I decided to upgrade some of its parts.

Genetics and Health
When the doctor told me I had Ureterolithiasis, I logged into 23andme to check my genetic risk. There was only one SNP (rs4293393) listed there. The G allele increased the risk 14% but I have AA, so typical odds. Next step was checking SNPedia where I found 8 SNPs, of which some are given below.… Continue reading Genetics and Health
Snowpocalypse
I have been neglecting the blog again. On Sunday night and Monday, we got about 5 inches of snow here in Atlanta. That’s more than I have seen here in my 13 years. Then the temperature stayed below freezing until today. So it turned to ice. The roads here have been treacherous all week and… Continue reading Snowpocalypse

ہم نے سوچا کہ بیٹی نے ابھی کنڈرگارٹن میں داخلہ لیا ہے تو کیوں نہ اسی موضوع پر کچھ لکھا جائے۔
