Moving Forward, and Wondering

( To secede, or not to secede. . . is that the question? )

And now for something completely different

I've gotten off my skinny white ass and started jogging again. Today was my second run in three days (doing, quite literally, One Lap of Gothopia - from my house to Casa de Sil/Uno, and back. . . it's something like 1.7 miles round trip if Mapquest can be trusted), and I can feel my legs becoming less annoyed by the concept, as well as holding up to it better. . . two walking interludes on Tuesday became one today, and I suspect that, especially with the cooler weather forecast for this weekend, I'll be able to do the whole thing nonstop until my cooldown walk).

Bought a chin-up bar and installed it in the doorway of my office. Realizing that I can only do five from a dead hang is disappointing, but a guy's gotta start somewhere.

And, niftier than that, today was K's first day on a promising new assignment. She was pimped out by a friend she made at her first gig, and the company asked for her by name to come in for the job. I think it's temp to perm, and a big pay upgrade from what she'd been getting at the Red Cross & Salvation army.

As soon as I finish taking down the halloween decorations, I'll finish posting pix of the home improvement stuff that was undertaken with my parents' help last week.
