[warning: very random blog entry follows]

Training is not going well. Sick for a week or so. I'm hoping to get back to the gym tomorrow. I don't think I've lost much ground -a week won't be my undoing -but at the same time I clearly didn't stay on track or make any progress. At this point anything but getting better feels like taking a...

Only seven or eight weeks until my trip (see previous blog entry). It'll be good to take some time off. It's a frantic trip but I'm resigned to the fact that I only seem capable of frantic trips. I just need to press with work and my training and make through until the end of April!

Well, my trip is now finalized. San Francisco/Chicago/Detroit/Toronto/Las Vegas. It's a lot of flying around but this is my "visit" trip -other than for business I don't think I'll be back in North America much over the next couple of years. It's funny because I almost shelved this trip and went to Paris instead. I found rountrip tickets for about $600 (which is very cheap...

Speeding towards mid-February. Only a hundred days or so until I'm done with Act I. It'll be a long hundred days but it somehow seems bearable. Break a hundred and it will start to just roll away...

The big question is what to do with the little break I'm rewarding myself with between Act I and Act II of my current little play. I think...

January always seems to rush by. I normally don't catch up with the year until February sometime and by then it will firmly be 2009. It's odd the past few years I've been a bit amazed and annoyed at how quickly time has flown. Right now though, I'll be happy to get to April. April and May I should get a bit of a break...

I've been running a fair bit lately. I've finally gotten around all the injuries, etc... and it feels good to be building up the physical endurance. It helps me focus, keeps my mind sharp. Some people meditate. When my body lets me, I like to run. Nothing impressive like halfs or marathons but good solid runs. No cell phone. No email. No internet. It clears...

Are you human or are you dancer?

I think I'm done. I still have a lot of time on my contract but I think I'll take a break when it's over. I want to go to Nepal for a year and just have nothing to do with cell phones, credit cards, wal-mart, income tax, performance reviews, meaningless workdays, empty relationships, cable television, and all the other crap that seems to be turning...

July already. The summer is moving quickly. August and the long weekend in September loom too near on the horizon -already casting their shadows in this direction. When I was younger summers seemed so much longer, time slowed, somebody pushed the pause button and we were all frozen in a snapshot between school years -a timeout called so everyone could relax, recharge, and catch their...

I think I'm finally getting back into things at work. I took too long of a break. My mind wasn't very sharp the first couple of weeks after I returned. I was pretty much just wandering around the office. No one seemed to notice though.

Road trip is over. It was too hectic. I try and do too much when I have time off -partly because it only happens every couple of years.

Start work again on Monday. It's been awhile. Should be good to get back to doing something.... A little strange to have been off for so long.

Not much else to report...

I will be offline for a bit here before the start of my cross-country roadtrip.
