Life is good here. We love our routine at 285 Range Rd, love our flatmates, love the new house cat Monkey, but aren’t exactly crazy about the increasingly boring work at MPAC. On the plus side though, with regard to MPAC, it has gotten me into great shape. I’m a machine! I haven’t been in this good of shape since high school. I’m ready to accompany Betsy on all those beautiful, gorgeous, breathtaking hikes she’s sure to drag me on. Life is tough.
Having saved enough money, and having gotten Hank into playing shape, we’ll be hitting the road on August 16th! We’re very excited. On top of that huge reason to feel good about life, we have another visitor coming! This mystery guest will be arriving in late October, and we’re thrilled. Any guesses?
I’m reading about a zillion books right now. I just finished “Obama; From Promise to Power”, which I read in a four day mad dash. I discovered it at the library on accident, and decided to squeeze it in before we hit the road. As some of you may know, I’m a certified Obama worshipper, and I needed a fix. I’m also reading a sports biography. “Heart, Soul, Fire; the Journey of Paul Briggs” is about a boxer from Austrailia/New Zealand. It’s a surprisingly raw and intense read, given the genre. Another on my bedside table is “The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.” It’s about, not surprisingly, the ancient tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. I’m a fan. I’m also slowly, methodically working my way though “Winning Chess Combinations” by Yasser Seirawan. I dig chess. And finally, I’m frequently hunched over an anxiety workbook purchased for me by my good friend and recent visitor Lee Granas. She’s awesome. It turns out I’m quite anxious much of the time, and there are things that can be done about it. I’m very hopeful. But anxious.
