Moving along
My nascent interest in fly fishing is being pursued amidst many other pressing matters, so I wasn't prepared for the involuntary reaction to seeing a Mayfly perched on my bedroom window: "Do I have a fly like that?"
Odd, since I haven’t even taken the time to get a fishing license (although that's on the list for next week). Unfortunately, more gear is required as well. Sigh Just more stuff to cart around.
Speaking of pressing matters, one weight off my mind is that we sold our Condo. (That's just a "likeness" of the Condo). A very nice woman made us an offer a few days after she saw it - the whole process was very pleasant, aside from the mad rush to complete 2 years of deferred projects in about 2 weeks.
Another item on the "must" list for this past week was to finish up our paper on some floorplanning theory we're working on. Pretty interesting results if I do say so myself. 
Progress on my marathon training schedule hasn't been as successful as I had hoped. I wanted to get in 6-12 miles during the week, and then get a solid 18 mile run done on the weekend. I turned in a whopping 0 miles during the week, and struggled through a 15 mile weekend run. The "revised plan for race domination" calls for a 12 mile run Tuesday, another 2-3 mile on Friday and then the solid 18 mile run next Sunday. Stay tuned sports fans.
And last, but not least, Becca returned on Friday. She came over for dinner last night, and I put together a vegetarian Paella in her honor. She regaled us with stories from her South Africa trip, and gave us a couple bottles of wine and a very nifty book on Braai (which for the uninformed is barbecue with an attitude).
