Whew, what a busy month July was! A cruise to Canada, a wedding in Virginia, my in-laws staying over followed by childhood friends staying over, another triathlon of the season, and then more family visiting--all in that order--were keeping me away from any breather to smell the roses. Well, at least from blogging.
I managed to jot some thoughts on my PDA for the time away from the computer so I hope to edit and post those things tonight. Please watch out for some back dating.
For now, Mindy is demanding my attention for some Ovaltine. See, here she is: asdfghjkl;. k/ykkkkkk,,kkkkk

Thanks, Minnie. That was her version of "get the hell off the computer and attend to my needs!"
Alright then. Gotta go.

Away again this weekend
My family and I just arrived Monday from our cruise and we're now taking a road trip to Virginia for a wedding this weekend. There's much to blog about and pictures to post on the dreamy ocean voyage but it will have to wait until this Monday. Before my thoughts escape me, I'll work on the drafts on my PDA (via quick-entry MessagEase, thankfully) during our weekend hotel stay.
Some random thoughts (due to a hectic week): I'm inspired to take up the guitar again. And I still want to sing well. I bought Jason Mraz's CD (Recorded Live At Java Joe's, 2001) and am currently in love with the song, Dreamlife of Rand McNally. The CD is my favorite of all his albums because of the live 'cafe' acoustics, recorded before he became famous.
More thoughts: I have a triathlon to do in one week on the 23rd; I've worked on the biking and running but nil on the swimming. I'll see what laps I could squeeze in between now and then. I feel it won't be much. (Oh curse you, Lance Armstrong and your Tour de France domestiques*, for drawing me away from my workouts and making me a couch potato.)
And cock-a-doodle-do, it's 3:57 am already!? Better act like a responsible parent and get some sleep before the long drive south this noon. Nighty night.
*For some basic 'Tour de France 101', I've found this link to be concisely informative.

Bon Voyage!
I'm on a cruise!
It's a voyage from Bayonne, New Jersey to Halifax, Canada on Royal Caribbean Cruiseline. And as I'm typing on this keyboard, I'm actually floating on water. And currently, we're in Halifax just off shore. How cool is that.
But let's quickly get to the chase. I just wanted to see if I could keep in touch with the rest of the world online from the seas. And I certainly could! Gosh darn it, ain't technology magnifico! But unfortunately it's at the cost of $.50 per minute. So this'll likely be my most expensive entry.
Take care, y'all. I'll edit this and post more of this story when I get back to home base. With my writer's block, the minutes are adding up.
Asta la vista. Or rather, bon retour.
