It's 6:26am, and I just got BACK in bed after getting up at 4:45, meeting some friends at Nike for a 5K run (actually, 3.14 miles running -- a pi run!, then like another 1/4 mile back to where I parked).

I'm super duper proud of myself for doing that, and I may have agreed to do it again on Thursday (when I won't have the luxury of returning to bed because job). But I won't say that it was fun...it was good for me...

Some things t'which I'm looking forward:
Z gets home in 2 days. We have been doing remarkably well, and I hope to continue the forward progress when we are in the same place. I feel like this is likely.
NBA Summer League starts this weekend. It's only a week long, but I'm excited for a taste of Blazers basketball.
Vegas in two weeks. I will go to some Summer League games while I am there. I may even play some bridge. Or craps.
Allan Massie visits.
Teresa and Travis visit at the same time.
There will be jamming.
Falcon Ridge the following week. There will be more jamming.
Family cruise the following following week.
Shanon's baby girl is due.
I have eight weeks of nothing really planned at all. If you want to come visit Portland, any weekend in September or October should work.
Somewhere in there, I'll get my real estate license.

As awesome as the next few weeks will be, I'm also sort of just looking forward to the general passage of time. Time is doing a lot for me these days. For all the personal improvement I have been doing, time is what will solidify the changes. Time will prove what is and isn't permanent.
