Thursday

Well, the golf lesson got cancelled by the instructor yesterday because of a storm that blew through here. While at the actual time of the lesson it was nice out, I'm sure it would have been a not great experience with how wet it all was. Another wave blew in after that so it's not a bad thing to be cancelled. In fact, I was quite relieved because then I had the evening free to myself. I picked up my library holds, got some groceries, walked Tug, and had Zataran Jambalaya rice with cheese for dinner. Num! And read. Steve's brother called to start checking dates for when we can come down to Denver again for Lauren's baptism. I don't think I'll have trouble getting time off for it but one of the dates he suggested was during the bike ride so I had to tell him we had other plans for those dates, darnit. I would think it would be better to have it over Labor Day weekend which was the end of August and one of the dates he mentioned.

Reading: For the next two weeks, I need to completely turn myself over to making time to read. I have simply too much to get through. Made some good headway last night with THE KING'S FAVORITE by Susan Holloway Scott though I'm not done yet. I got three holds last night and have another to pick up this morning. I also got one of my TBRs on audio last night so I am listening to THE MESSENGER by Daniel Silva whenever I drive. The trick is in the multitasking. The first line from THE MESSENGER is: "It was Ali Massoudi who unwittingly roused Gabriel Allon from his brief and restless retirement: Massoudi, the great Europhile intellectual and freethinker, who, in a moment of blind panic, forgot that the English drive on the left side of the road."

I've GOT to get on my bike if I'm going to do this MS150 ride in six weeks. Must.make.time. Must.actually.do.it. Urgh.

TV: The Who VH1 award taped from Saturday is on tonight. My boys.

Work: I unfortunately don't have a lot of ambition today but continuing the grant. Had a good idea for a nonprofit startup that I'll have to pursue in my spare time (ha!).

Not much different this evening, home, walk Tug, deal with dinner (fish), do some reading, bed. Lovely.

I'm getting interested in movies again. Must start paying more attention. Mags, blogs, festivals, etc. More on that later. This idea may work.

Red flag: You MUST watch this before Sunday while it's still free; it's FABULOUS!! http://www.drhorrible.com/

Much love,
