Arrrrr, I'd rather go sailing than biking, like you did on your vacation! In fact, my biking doesn't add up to that much, those are mostly short distances. Regarding soundtracks - I don't usually listen to music outside. When biking, it's safer to be able to hear people screaming and shouting before I hit them! :) But with all that walking and jogging lately, I've been thinking about listening to audiobooks while exercising - but so far, it's just been too much of a hassle to make that happen. (I'd need better earphones, and a better/different way to carry my mobile, or some smaller device, and get the right audiobook episodes downloaded first every time, etc.) So I'm just listening to the natural sounds around me, which isn't bad either. And listening to polka while jogging/walking sounds risky - I might just grab the next unsuspecting passer-by and polka along the trail with them, which is against doctor's orders: With my current weak immune system, I should mostly stay away from people. (But since you're (hopefully) healthy, maybe you could try that next time? :) )

And I guess a pirate with good habits is called an impossibility? Or a contradiction in terms?

Anyway, glad to hear from you! Enjoy the rest of the summer!
