*Started training to run with my Dad and Sister in the race for the cure 5k in Little Rock. We then found out that even though men are affected by the disease(my Dad's mom died from breast cancer) we can not run in the race. Dad is pissed and has now withdrawn all support from the race, though he will still financially support the
Susan G. Komen Foundation. We are now trying to find another 5k to run in in October in Arkansas. It will be my first 5k run.
*My brother who is a video game junkie got me a PS2(yes I know I am behind the times) for my birthday and I am now spending way too much time on it. My wife however has discovered a workout program for the PS2 called
Eye Toy Kinetic and she is now on the PS2 more than I am.
*On the Cincy Reds trade: I like the trade in that it shows that we are trying to win. We are at least out there doing something to try and make the team better. It doesn't always work, but sometimes you have to take chances. Also it is nice that the Reds are still relevant on July 25th.
*So ready for football. I am so starved for football that I have been back on the
Indiana High School football discussion forum. It helps a little, but their are some dudes that are way more into High School football than I am.
*I am sort of afraid to graduate. It is still a few months away but I am having some anxiety about finding a job that goes with my new degree but pays anywhere near what I am making now. Almost all of the decent jobs out there require 2-3 years experience to make even 5-8,000 less than what I am making now. I have no real future at my current job but it is good money now. The new field has limitless potential but it has a potentially devestating pay cut to get in.
*On July 20th my wife and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary. I am particularly proud of this accomplishment as too many of our friends that got married in the 3-5 years after we did have gotten divorced. We've had our rough moments but I wouldn't undo any of the past 10 years for anything. We are friends, companions, partners, parents, and lovers. I don't think you can ask for more than that.
*Nicole is still weird. I just can't seem to bring myself to be mean to her anymore. I will try though.
* I think that Pippa, after World Cup and with the addition of the Israeli-Hezbollah war, has been having a bit of a blog identity crisis. She has posted some pretty funny stuff if you are into British humor, as I am. Check out the Brit Chick link to the left.
* My anniversary present was a Beer of the Month Club membership("That's the gift that keeps on giving all year long Clark") so I will try to post some beer reviews as I try some new ones.
