Yesterday was the best day weather-wise in Boston in over a half year, with temperatures reaching up into the 80’s and sunny blue skies all around. I spent the day nearly biking around the whole city (about 40 miles in total) and took a few photos. Check them out below (you might need your sunglasses for the last one):

Today is the 111th day of the year, and as such marks the year being 1/3 over in my calendar. As the day of the birth of myself occurs in the last 32/33 days of the year, I write off the totality of those days as one massive holiday. So, what have I gotten accomplished in this first third of the year?
Here’s a list of 14 15 accomplishments:
- Quit smoking
- Started and finished reading The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein (awesome book)
- Finished a graduate class, Small Business Formulation and Development at Umass-Amherst, with an A grade
- Acquired full-time freedom by quitting my full-time paid, voluntary, cubicle entrapment
- Started a business (details to come)
- Lost some weight
- Started reading Smart Start-Ups: How Entrepreneurs and Corporations Can Profit by Starting Online Communities by David Silver
- Bought a bicycle
- By the end of today (if not already), eclipse 100 miles biked in my first week
- Surpassed $20,000 in liquid, financial assets
Started and fFinished reading Starting From Scratch: Secrets from 21 Ordinary People Who Made the Entrepreneurial Leap by Wes Moss- Decluttered my e-mail inbox
- By the end of the day, attended my first Boston Celtic playoff game!
- Improved my life by about 1000%
- Edit: (Added this one just before the Celtics game) Just picked up adamp.com at about a $420 savings! (~$40 for a five letter name domain name!)
Have you accomplished any significant goals or done something you’re particularly proud or pleased about in the past 3-4 months? If so, do share below.
Here’s to a great middle and end to the year!
In a follow up to yesterday’s post showing my biking path here’s another Google map showing the route I took to get to an apartment on Winter Hill to watch the Sox-Yankees and Bruins-Canadians game last night (both of the good guys won).
This second leg of my trip was another 15 miles, so in total I pedaled a little over 30 miles yesterday.
Quick post to show ya’ll the trip I took today. Google says it was a bit over 15 miles, but the path drawn out is not exactly the path I biked but a relatively close approximation.
Destination B on the map is the Fruit Center Marketplace at 10 Bassett Street in Milton. If you’re ever in the area (or already live here), I highly recommend checking the place out, it’s got a great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, a 40 feet salad bar, and meat and fish stores with a large organic selection inside the marketplace. I picked up some very nice looking kiwis, a couple green apples and some organic, free-range, and veggie-fed chicken breasts.
Alright, I’m well tired now and am planning on taking another 12-15 mile ride a bit later today so time to go rest and eat for a bit.
