Stuff

Hi Moo! I'm writing this with you in mind as you really are the sole purpose for my blog :-) I feel terrible that I've not written for so long so I will try and bring you up to date with my random events. None of the following items are a critique in any way to your blog opinions. Having just read your blog it reminded me of all the times I think "I'll blog that" and then then never do!

Firstly, I hate the thought of that stupid book "The Secret" that Oprah is promoting. There is some validity to positive thought, no doubt, but in a recent article it seems that the author is more concerned with materialistic benefits to positive thought than anything else. Now, of course, I've not read the book nor seen the DVD so I shouldn't be so quick to judge. Anyway, I've stopped TiVo ing Oprah since I can't stand her at the moment.

If I were to support a politician, which will be very unlikely, I think it would be Ron Paul. His is a republican (Gasp). Actually, he is a libertarian disguised as a republican and is running for president. I cannot support any politician but if I were to decide to one day a responsible member of society he would have my vote.

What else is going on? Let's see. Running is going good. Friday we managed a 110 minute run with only about 8 minutes of total walking! I felt great (odd, but true) until the final 10 minutes and at that point I thought I was going to pass out. We are scheduled for a 2 hour jog tomorrow but it looks like I have a work conflict so it may be pushed out until Saturday. The jogging is going very well but my body is resisting. One would think I would be melting away the pounds but such is not the case. The good news is that I'm eating whatever I want, whenever I want and if I focused I probably would melt away the pounds. The problem is that I don't have any focus right now. I'm very proud of your recent run! Maybe we can train for that tri after all? Mike and I have already contemplated the thought of doing a full marathon after this puppy as it seems like it would be good thing to try and do before this race of life is over. We shall see.

I'm anxiously awaiting socks. I hope that they arrive. I hope that the chain will not be broken and I sent the letter out to very responsible individuals (or so I think). We shall see.

My new assistant started this week and she seems great. I feel so much more upbeat in the office as we seem to have a better connection. She left her job to come work with me so I am under a bit of stress right now to make sure that I have a great year to keep us going. I feel now that I have a responsibility to her which I never felt to my past one.

Work is work. Whatever.

The house is coming along nicely. Mike is working like a dog. If you want to see his efforts they are at http://www.realtor.com/Prop/1077488329. He really did a phenomenal job and now is working on the house we will move into. I'm not sure when it will be done but it's moving along. Hopefully it will all be ready so you can see it when you visit.

Dukers is doing great (except for the fact that she just ate my camel pack). She is now catching the Frisbee occasionally which is very exciting. Yesterday she started Puppy Training and ran three miles which she seemed to like okay. I think she gets very thirsty though. I have to send her to the doctor soon to get fixed. Poor pup.

I'm already tired and feel like I'm in need of a vacation. There are lots of changes in the industry right now and I'm not sure how it will effect things. Stress levels are high right now but I'm mitigating that with chocolate. Excellent.
