Day 13: The Aussie and Spin Class

THE AUSSIE: My stepbrother is visiting from Australia this week. Back home in Melbourne he had a hobby of collecting discarded trees and turning them into wood chips for barbecuing. It turned into a pretty big business and the demand there is going crazy. So while he is out here the family has been eating at every barbecue place they can think of so he can talk his way into their kitchens for inside information. What a fun way to spend a vacation! A local restaurant tour sounds like a good goal for November!

SPIN CLASS: Last time I went to a spin class I was a member at 24 Hour Fitness. They turned the lights off, cranked up the music, and spun me into the ground. I loved it. It is one of the reasons I kept my membership going for so long. Knowing I have been trying to come up with something different every day in October my buddy Nicole suggested I join her for a spin class last night. What a blast!
