1. School starts tomorrow, bright and early at 8:15. Then again on Sunday. Seven day weeks for the next six months. I’m tired already.
2. Then I pull caretaker duty all next week. Same reason as before.
3. I deeply regret that I’ll be out of town during the convention. Not that I was trying to get arrrested, but I certainly planned to protest. But perhaps it’s for the best.
4. I’m missing summer already. I’d like about two more months of it.
5. I miss being upstate in the fall. There’s nothing like the leaf changes and cool crisp weather of upstate New York. And New York City is so not a college football town.
6. Watching the Olympics has been a great diversion from the rest of world and national news. But track and field is the reason to watch the games. It sucks that track doesn’t have a better following in the U.S. I want to see more.
7. I’ve been dwelling on some of the voids in my life. I really need to travel. I’m talking outside the country. I’ve barely left the state in ages.
8. I’m in a general state of stress and uneasiness right now that I’m trying hard to work through. I could really use a long period of doing nothing, someplace else.
9. The gym has become my refuge lately. It’s an escape from all my responsibilities. I’ve been going almost every day in recent weeks.
10. The apartment is a mess, indicative of so many other things.
11. I read about this here. It describes my situation.
12. It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

let’s hope you get enough time at the gym, being that there’s school and everyting. it’s gonna be a balancing act, for sure.
Re: 12, you are so very right. It seems like it’s taken forever to get here. Hopefully some good football will make for a good fall for you. Although I’m not sure what to expect out of your Giants yet after the “Prince” stumbled mightily last night.
congrats on scholl. looks like fun.
Uhhh, just because you’re going to school doesn’t mean we want the pot of greens to contain anything more than smoked neckbones (or turkey) and maybe some fat back… ok.
FOOTBALL? Blech. You are such a man.
