What I'm Reading ---- Vuelta a Espana (Tour of Spain) preview on Pez Cycling News - the last of the three major bike tours starts on August 19 - the Tour of Spain. Should be an epic race. Pez does a great job of overview of the route, history of the race, and favorites to watch.

What I'm watching ---- The aftermath of the Rio Olympics. This is actually a long read with some interesting videos. What happened to the pool Phelps won all those medals in? It's now a wreck. So are other venues. See how the toll of the high cost of hosting the Olympics hit Rio.

What I posted on my blog (yes, work stuff!) ---- "How Much Coverage do I need for a Key Person in my Business?". Many of the businesses I meet with have a ket person, or persons, that drive revenue. The attorney billing hours, the physician performing procedures, the mastermind behind sales growth are all examples of Key Persons. What happens if this person dies or is disabled? The business may suffer. This post talks about how you can value a key person, and tools available to protect your business.

What I'm eating ---- Roasted Chicken Legs with Potatoes and Kale
Our friends Eric and Nancy made this for us, and oh my gosh is it good! The chicken and kale get crispy and the potatoes soak up all the tasty goodness. And, it all cooks in one pan!
- 1 1/2 pounds tender, young kale, stems and inner ribs removed
- 1 1/2 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 8 whole chicken legs (about 10 ounces each)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Step 1 Preheat the oven to 450°. In a very large roasting pan, toss the kale, potatoes and onion with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.
Step 2 Set the chicken on a cutting board, skin side down. Slice halfway through the joint between the drumsticks and thighs. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the paprika and set on top of the vegetables.
Step 3 Cover the pan with foil. Roast the chicken in the upper third of the oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and roast for 30 minutes longer, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Transfer the chicken to plates and spoon the vegetables alongside. Serve with lemon wedges.
