Arrived at 3:30 p.m., and got motivated enough to run around Lake Hood, which I think is about a 4-mile perimeter.  The last time I ran around the lake was in 2002, and I did it a lot faster and much more gracefully.  Right now it's about 10:20 p.m.(sunset is shortly before 11 pm), and it's bright as day.  Morning meeting at 8:30 - we will be covering Listening Skills Training.  Time for blackout curtains and Tylenol p.m.

Hey, this reminds me of Fantasy Island. The plane! The plane!

I remember the days when we used to jump into a car to ride 6 blocks to get to high school. Much loftier exercise goals today!

Looks so peaceful and cool. Would you please bring some of that cool weather back with you when you come home?
