Planned on running before HBO, but here I am in bed with a Mt. Dew and a bag of Fritos waiting for Treme
Never knew they made banana Tootsie Roll Pops – tastes surprisingly good
Full ghetto, from the top…
It’s been a while since I’ve done an update post and I could use a writing workout, so here we are.
Seems like it’s been the season of bummers: the New York cancellation, the onset of winter (with the cold and darkness), missing family and friends, lingering health issues, the never-ending housing saga. In fact, I’d say things have sucked in general since I turned 40. Maybe the 50s will be better – all those old guys seem pretty happy. Either that or they’ve just lost their minds…
But enough downer talk, what’s on the horizon?
Work has been engaging, with several large projects on the white board and some big picture strategic planning to go along with lots of web development and social media items. We lost one of my friends to a property in Kansas, but he’s extended an open invitation to play their awesome golf course whenever I want. Still miss him here, though.
Trying real hard to keep in running shape, but I just can’t get into outdoor winter running. I follow several Minnesota runners on Twitter who love it, but…no. The resort treadmill is tolerable (8-10K max) and I’m hoping the girls will help me become a better swimmer over Christmas break. Next registered road races are in January (26.2) and April (10K); after that will depend on what NYC decides. Anybody home, NYRR?
Speaking of the swimmers, I really miss them during the week: attending awards ceremonies and swim practices and debates – all of it. Facetime is great, but I wish they were here or I was there. That said, they also drive me crazy and this boyfriend thing needs to go away until they move out. And stop texting and liking everything, K?
No big plans for the holidays. With the housing and financial uncertainty, I’m not even sure if we’ll have a tree this year. Other traditions will still make an appearance, though, and I’ll work New Year’s Eve at the resort (sadly without the4onthefloor).
That’s it for now. I could write more, but I better keep my foot away from my mouth.
Cheers from Vermilion!
God bless this land, God bless this whiskey. I can’t trust love, it’s far too risky…
Warm(ish) morning here with some light snow falling – driving over to Hibbing soon for a board meeting at the college
Two down, one to go (and that one isn’t due until Friday)
Inspired by my little fish, went and ran 5 treadmill miles (plus a little bike and cable cross)
I just won $234,999 less than I was hoping for on my Northstar Cash ticket
Not really an old school R&B guy, but some of these old Spinners songs are pretty awesome
Fully engaged in work today and the headache is receding – hoping for 5 indoor miles tonight
Oh, and not the greatest plowing job guys
Even colder at Fortune Bay – the sign by the Y Store said 2F
Damn it’s cold in Hinckley this morning – stopped for gas and breakfast
I can’t imagine running a race with no finish line…
At least the Giants picked up my spirits a little
Almost made it an entire day without tweeting – just not that motivated by anything this weekend
