The Hare Awakens

Alas as with the tortoise and the hare this hare took a week long nap in the matter of reading the Bible. I have awakened, however, and am now on day 19. I hope to catch up to where I need to be via double readings over the course of the week. I find reading the Bible in the morning tends to help me through the rest of the day. Certainly between it and my coffee I am vaguely awake by the time I hit my desk at 8am.

The rest of life goes fairly well. Still trying to maintain my social life, and still getting a handle on the job. The latter at least seems to be getting easier somewhat, and I am very much looking forward to getting out on the floor on 10-25.

I have been listening to this over the past week and thought I'd share it.

I follow with the iced coffee...

Life and the Gauntlet

I just attended Tap Dogs this evening with a group from Pathways Church. Good times- the food beforehand was excellent (a mojito, wine, trout, and outstanding coffee and dessert), as was the show itself. Didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did, considering it was tap dancing; however, the energy displayed was most entertaining.

Apart from the great evening this evening I have had some great times in Denver both within and without the salt mines. I have attended a couple of Rockies games with excellent company, and the experience was always most enjoyable. Looking to hit up one more game to celebrate a friend's birthday next Tuesday- should be a blast.

The Gauntlet also goes well. Have stayed on target thus far this week, and am actually mildly ahead of my friend. Alas this will be more a matter of the tortoise winning in the end, rather then the hare. Nevertheless, it is good to be reading the good book again- makes for good reading on the train in the morning.

Also looking forward to the elections in November. I was thrilled when I found out that I could still register to vote with my address change. If you haven't registered to vote yet you can do so here. I encourage you to vote, and to vote for those who believe in fiscal responsibility. I'd kind of like the dollar to be worth more then Monopoly money ten years down the road. Of course a gold standard would help in that regard, but I shall refrain from getting on that soap box.

Still enjoying my iced coffee, and rather enjoying cold mint tea as well. Hoping to have a large glass of it in celebration in November.

Let the Gauntlet Begin...

So today began my Bible reading contest with my friend. Began by reading Gen. 1, Josh 1, Psalms 1, Prov. 1, Is. 1, Matt 1, Rom 1, Acts 1, Job 1, and 1 Thes 1. Obviously a interesting reading schedule, but the goal is to get through the Bible within 269 days. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.

As for the rest of life things go well. Still hammering away at the job, attempting to maintain a social life, and ensure I don't burn down my apartment. Looking to start back at church now that I'm settled up here, though not sure where exactly to land on that front. Must be orthodox for sure.

Still enjoying the iced coffee...
