And a good time was had by all

Went out biking this morning, but only did around 10 miles. It's hot again here, and the air was so thick that I was laboring. One of my personal rules of thumb is that when I feel nauseous it's time to stop exercising so I cut the ride short and headed home.

This afternoon went to see the Binghamton Mets. ( Take me out to the ballgame )

Watching: Caught bits of two specials on The History Channel from their "Ancient Discoveries" series. The first special was on Galen, which was mildly interesting, but I knew most of it so I channel surfed. The second special was on ancient shipbuilding techniques. Here, again, it held my interest for a bit but then I wandered. In both cases the tone of the narration put me off. The script and the narrator's dramatic reading implied that what he was revealing were revolutionary hitherto unknown secrets, on the order of finding Judge Crater's body or the discovery of water on Mars. But as each revolutionary statement was made, I found myself thinking "But everyone knows that and they've known it for years." I have to remind myself that these shows are not aimed at writers who think researching odd historical facts is the fun part of their job.
