A quick note for my

A quick note for my runner friends: the HARRA website is experiencing the proverbial “technical difficulties” and is not currently available at harra.org. Instead, try here until I can get it restored. I made my first attempt at getting it sorted out last night without much luck. Why don’t tech support guys at least give you a chance to convince them that you know what you’re talking about before getting condescending and talking over you?? Anyway, Jerry Smith should be sending out an email about it to the entire HARRA membership today…
Of course, the website madness (which is happening because the site is now with a new host, the old host is gone, but the domain transfer hasn’t gone through yet) happens just as I am leaving town for the weekend. It just adds to the s-t-r-e-s-s-s-s-s-s that I always feel when I get ready to leave town.
I’m headed to Chicago and Wisconsin this weekend. Chicago tonight and tomorrow to hang around town with Carter and Kent and whoever else we come across. Then we’ll head up to somewhere in Wisconsin tomorrow night for Christina‘s wedding on Saturday! The place we’re staying, and where the wedding is, looks lovely. They even say they have a walking trail, so I’m definitely planning to squeeze in a run in the cooler, non-Houston weather. I don’t expect to get much of a chance to see Christina, which is sad, but she’ll be doing the whole getting-married thing and past experience says that the bride is usually pretty busy! But the whole college crowd should be there, and that will be fun. It’s like an unofficial 5-year reunion.
Last night was fish night at Becca’s, where at least two people complained that all my entries are about running. “No they’re not,” I said, “in fact, the last week focused almost entirely on the Astros!” Seemed like a reasonable argument to me. “No,” they said, “you still manage to squeeze in something about running at the end.” To which I finally responded the only way I could: “It’s MY blog!” Ha ha. I win.
Truth is, I just haven’t had much else to write about lately that didn’t sound boring. My evenings are pretty scheduled, especially now that the Astros are done. Leave work, go work out, eat dinner, and then either 1) work on the HARRA website, 2) work on advertising design class work, 3) do something with the boy. Jose has started to realize that me with laptop = in my own world while me without laptop = can actually have a two-sided conversation. As such, he gets very excited when I come over to watch a movie or something and don’t have the laptop bag in tow. I guess I’m pretty predictable. And practically surgically attached to my computer.
