I'm back....
The Grand Canyon "Death March" was a success. And I am back. At work. Again. And that was a decreasingly enthusiastic set of sentences.

Good Day at Work
Yesterday, I attended a meeting at the WFC office and then returned. I was working away for a little while when it hit me: I'm having a really good day. But for no obvious reason. I looked around: no one has turned on the super-bright over-head florescent lights
Wedding
A friend of mine, Joel, got married this past Saturday. I flew into Atlanta and Daniel and I drove down to Destin. We rented this cool condo on the beach, which was also home to the bachelor party. Fun stuff.

Self-Motivation
Why must I play mind games with myself in order to do things that I know I'm capable of doing? This is never truer then when running. If I'm running with someone, I can easily run as far as they can. Not that I have this
Interesting Day
I checked this morning and I still hadn't received my tax refund from either the state or the feds. I checked again this afternoon (I can't help myself - it's like refreshing the UPS/FedEx tracking page - it can't be helped)
Work and Words
I work with quite a few Indians. Their ability to construct valid sentences and correctly pronounce words varies widely in this office. Several of them who are on the low end of this ability routinely ask me questions. Not once have I understood any of these questions. My response is
