Duirng this past weekend, in an effort to make sure that I find a way to lose a few pounds I've added over time, I made a bold promise: if I'm not 11 pounds less than I am now by Independence Day, I'm going to write a check to the
Republican National Committee. I think that this negative motivation will be enough to do the trick.
Come September, the Seattle bus tunnel is going to be closed so that they may redo the 'tracks' for Sound Transit's light rail. That this will add 10 minutes to my commute clearly makes me the unluckiest man to ever live.
I don't know what it means that the highs and lows I experience in life seem to be flattening out a bit over time. Is this a common phenomenon?

Flatteing highs and lows is part of growing up and being more content. Pretty usual I think xxxxx
