17. I hate thieves as well. I really hope I never find out who stole it.
I don't think I could know and not "react." I used to be a very angry man, I don't want this to cause me to relaps... So I will just count the many good things in my life and be glad nether I or anyone I love was hurt.

Bears won today...White Sox are one game away from the World Series...my family is healthy and happy, and it looks like in the next two weeks we'll all be getting some great news regarding indictments in the Plame case. Yep, I would say I am pretty darned happy right about now.

27. Frustrated with the job hunt, but grateful for what I have.
Today I was a marshall at a marathon, which was a really positive experience. It was great seeing thousands of awesome people climbin' the mountain cause it's there. 'Twas good motivation to get off my ass to train for the one next year.

29. I'm pretty much always happpy; plus today I drove like a maniac and
got away with it (see here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4162462 ). It was fun, plus there was the bicycle ride and the absurdly tasty dinner...

33. Mrs R's special grilled chicken in a cream sauce with artichoke hearts,
sun-dried tomatoes, lots of onions, Kalamata olives, peas, and parmagiana-reggiano, with a touch of Jamaican curry powder, multiple cloves of garlic, and a healthy dose of white pepper, over angel-hair pasta.

And fresh-off-the farm Brussels sprouts.

Any wonder that I'm happy?

36. I get cooking of that caliber almost every night, because she genuinely
does love to cook. One of the many reasons why I remind myself every single day what a lucky son of a bitch I am to have found her.

40. Right now it's 11°C (52°F) outside right now
It rained really hard today and we had a short thunderstorm. Fun stuff. I stayed home all weekend too, but that's normal for me. I don't go out a whole lot. I have school in the morning too, but there's a big poster fair on campus this week, so I'm going to try to pick up some kickass new posters before I come home tomorrow.

58. Haha, thanks...
Last year when the fair was here, I bought three awesome posters, they were huge promotional posters for Fight Club, Mulholland Dr. and Requiem for a Dream. I sat down on a bench in the hall and waited for my next class to start, and when class was about to start, I got up to go to class but forgot the posters. I got about halfway to class, realized, went back and they were gone. Must make sure not to do that this time around, haha.

My bedroom walls are completely bare right now. It's kinda depressing, haha.

69. Southern Utah. No where near water
Capitol reef is a desert. The reef is an uplift in the crust that exposed.

45. Yippee!
Listening to a great radio show. My favorite combination of music. Pharoa Sanders. ELO. The Dead Kenny G's (haha).

Politics tipping the scale. A ripening Fitz.

Five ducks came zooming in for periodic landings in the pond against a sunset sky, a few moments ago.

Who could complain.

It's a brief peak of glee which I hope lasts. A very welcomed change from my previous week.



Thanks for asking. I hope yours is going well too!!!!

It feels like life is exactly how it should be right now. Know what I mean?

Not as depressed as I was a few weeks ago but my life circumstances are not where I'd like them to be. Can't really complain but still wish that life was better at the moment
