Starting a one week vacation today, not going any where, but it'll be good so I can shift into the new season. So far my class is going pretty good, lots of reading and discussing, but not a lot of writing.

Apparently there is a hiring freeze on my job, so the promotion list is at a stand still, and I'm still a ways back...

I'm totally hooked on Metallica's new tune- The day that never comes.
Definitely going to be my new running song, the endorphins will be a flowing.

Today was a lazy day, but it felt good, I needed it, after doing some doubles at work this week I was pooped. contemplating wether or not I should go kayaking tommorrow night, might depend on the weather. If it's decent It'll make a nice paddle, I think this full moon is supposed to be the harvest moon so it will have a ring around...

Stayed busy today, but don't feel like I accomplished much. One of my books didn't show up yet, tommorrow is the cut off date, so I'll have to put in for a refund. Which really fucking pisses me off, because out of the 5 books this is the one I needed to read first for my class, and of course it was the most expensive...

I got it! I found my dream kayak, and picked it up yesterday up. I didn't think I would find one this late in the year, but I did, at a dealership, and the price was awesome. The bonus part is that it is made of kevlar which rocks cause it's only 42 lbs. I test paddled it and I was worried that it would...

I'm hoping the eggs survive, I'll make sure not to shovel that section of flag stones this winter, don't want them coming out prematurely.

Picked up some cool art work, a pair of...

Ran my first 5K for this year, it was a local race so I knew the course. I did pretty good, as far as being able to run my strategy in accordance with the hills, and there were some indeed. Anyway my time wasn't great, but I can't complain considering it's the first race and I just got out of work an hour and a...

So I've discovered a cool little critter in my back yard, the first couple of times I seen him buzzing around I thought that it was a small humming bird. Then today he darted under one of the flag stones next to my back porch. So I waited till he came out and couldn't believe it, and went and got my camera, and waited for...

I 've acquired a mystery item. Got it at an auction, it's a pic of two men wearing uniforms of the Grand Army of the Republic. One I believe is Dr. Overton Mennet, a former chief of the GAR, and I haven't figured out who the other individual is. He is wearing a sache (sp?) with a knot which leads me to believe he would...
