Like writing in my pen-to-paper journal, I am finding it easier to daydream about the things I should be writing about rather than actually getting to it.
Katie and I are married.
I am working on the blow by blow in a word doc, but can't make it happen right now.
Life is just buzzing right now. I have had a pretty nasty summertime cold for the past week-plus. Rainy days have made it a little easier to stay mellow, but it sucks being ill during the summer. Coming out of sick mode is a good thing, however. Feeling energy return and phlegm dissapate make life feel so fine.
I managed one road ride in which I had to farmer blow every five seconds, but found great pleasure in. Suffering is relative. Having to sit still and let my body rest and heal itself is torture. But riding my road bike with legs on fire, boogers streaming, and heart stuccato pounding, now that is heaven.
Yesterday I turned 35. Katie and I rode the Snodgrass trail, Which closed for the season at 5 pm so the land owners can graze their cattle up there. We rode it backwards, something neither of us had done. Then we climbed up Snodgrass mounatin on a jeep road and connected to a spur that brought us back to the main trail and rode it the regular direction. We chilled at home, I took a couple naps and read more Foundation and Earth by Azimov. Katie and I met at the Center for the Arts and watched Fern Hill, an independant film made by a Western State Grad named Cole Classen and filmed in CB and Gunny. Very fun, Stand By Me-style movie.
So I start faculty meetings on Wednesday. There are still many projects to be completed before the students return and I have been full of piss and vinigar regarding the state of campus. I've actually been pretty well grumpy for the past week. Hope to come out of that soon. One part depression that the wedding is over and all of the family and friends have gone, one part sick guy who wants to be raging through the mountains on his bike, and one part hard worker who feels like there are people at the school who have their heads up their arses. Better get the venom out before the kids show up.
