Did my very first 5k last Sunday – walked 90% of it but it felt great
Like the very start of something wonderful
Next 5K is in May, then another in June
I’m wearing flip-flops today
Just had some Light & Fit yogurt – blueberry is best
Had a GREAT conversation with Da this morning
Belly laughed with him about an extremely heated political argument we had on Monday
It felt soooo good
I told him about the first time I ever heard the word ‘magneto’
I must’ve been about 6 or 7 and he was taking apart the lawn mower
And explaining all the different parts
I remember feeling like I really needed to hold on to that moment
And soak in everything
Like the little gray sponge in the air filter
Mom & Da are really enjoying his retirement
It’s fabulous
Jim comes home tomorrow from his annual spring European tour
He is not a rock star in the classic sense of the word
But very popular there nonetheless
He was in Basel, Switzerland for part of the trip
I like saying Basel

It feels good, you should try it.
Bah-zle
Magneto is a good word too

I missed Jim but the house sure stayed clean this week
My good friend Jim the IT guy showed me how to digitize our DVDs
I’m halfway done ripping Season 3 of Six Feet Under
It’s a good project
He recommended MakeMKV for ripping DVDs – it’s fast and easy to use
And Plex Media Center for Mac for managing and viewing our whole digital library – music, tv shows, movies, photos, etc.
It’s pretty slick and I can’t wait to get it connected to everything
Been listening to Green Day’s American Idiot this week
It’s one of those rare albums you can listen to all the way through
So much poetry, so much intensity
Really captured the Bush/Cheney era
I watched this Butterfinger commercial 30 times last night
Could not stop laughing
Something about the sound the phone makes when it hits his forehead
Awesome
Had a great week at work
Selected our new corporate logo/brand
Next up is the web site re-launch and exhibit booth
After 20 years of doing this stuff I still get excited about it
There’s a man on the corner of Wacker & Washington who says
“Have a blessed day”
To everyone during the morning and evening rush
It’s our dear friend Judy’s last day at the firehouse today
She’s going off on an exciting new adventure after 14 years there
I’m a big proponent of shaking things up and going on adventures every so often
We’re wishing her nothing but the best
