Gone Somewhere

Whew…I keep thinking I’m going to have amazing stories of exotic adventures to write about and share. But, as you’ve now realized, it hasn’t been happening.

For a while now, I’ve been thinking about doing a blog about work and stuff of interest besides running. I think I even mentioned it here before, a year or so ago.  Well, I’ve finally decided that here is the place to do it. 

Why?  There are a couple reasons:

• Believe it or not, there is more to life than just a single activity.  Yeah, I know some of you may not agree, or even realize it, but really, there are lots of things going on out there.
• It’s much more efficient to have a single site.
• Not really a reson, but I really like this domain name.

So, what’s been going on lately?  Well, for running, I was going to be a runner on our Blue Ridge Relayteam this year, but then they ended up finding someone to fill the slot. (Who goes twice as fast as I.)  I’ll be the driver again, and back up in case there’s an injury…and that’s fine, I had a blast last time.  Plus, I may manage to get 30 miles in, if I decided to run a 1/2 mile out at each exchange to meet the incoming runner. Not saying I’ll do it, but it might be a fun thing to try.  (Gotta be careful though, because official runner isn’t allowed to have a pacer.)

My wife has recently started walking with all her friends, so now one day a weekend I go out with her for a couple miles. Little Man usually looks pretty bored in the stroller, but the playground at the end is a lot of fun. 

Work is pretty busy. My boss and I had a black-op going on, where we were giving one team some support they needed as we had time.  Officially, the work wasn’t sanctioned, so it was just providing support as we had time.  And yes, we like making it sound like a spy thriller.

Well, as it usually goes, this operation has now turned into 50% or more of the hours each week. We’ve been given the clearance to work, as long as it doesn’t interfere with achieving our corporate goals.  So, we’re busy with it, and trying to keep up with everything else.  You’ll probably hear me talking about this in the future.
