I am still here

No, I have not died or fallen off the face of the earth. Life happens, I've been busy. Below is the abridged version of what's been up with me.

• Work has been crazy busy. I am working on a project that is killing me. This too will pass.
• I started a pottery class a couple of weeks ago. It's fun. I still haven't made something that is fit for firing but I am learning. Throwing clay is a lot more difficult than I initially thought it would be, but I am slowly starting to get it. Hopefully I will be able to produce something over the course of the 10 week class.
• It is fall here. Fall (the whole 2 weeks of it) is my favorite season. I took a walk around lake Calhoun yesterday. It was stunning. The colors are peaking around the lake. There was even a bald eagle in a tree along the eastern edge. Very cool.
• I still have been working out. I took a cardio training class on Wed and today is the first day that my legs aren't sore. Walking (especially down stairs) was very difficult on Thursday and Friday. That class kicked my ass, which is a good thing.
• I lost 5 lbs without really even trying. It has to be going to the Firm for classes.
  
• DJ is out of town this weekend. I stayed in on Friday, caught up on my magazines, drank wine, watched the Twins loose and talked to T in NYC for 2 hours. Pure delight.
  
• We went to the Summit Big Brew yesterday. When we first got there at 6pm the line for beer was very, very, very long. The wait was over an hour. This was a Bad Thing. Thank god they figured it out and pulled up another beer truck. Saw Cake play, they rock.
• I say really stupid things when I drink. Ask E.
• It was a year ago today that I met DJ. What a year can do to one's life.
  

Now you are all caught up on what's up with me. It's sunny and supposed to be 80 here today. I need to go out and enjoy it.
