Hey All:
I'm sitting here at the lovely Rec Center. A nice boring day. It's only 63 degrees out, so why would anyone want to swim? Where's the summer weather?? There is a big group that just came in, but without them, I think there would only be 10 people in the pool.

Finished the Da Vinci Code... a really good read. I recommend it to anyone in need of a good book, or even just to cure your boredom. My new book is called Crazy, but I'm already almost halfway through it and it's not satisfying my needs... but what else am I going to do to prevent myself from not falling asleep??

Payday today, always a plus.

I saw the Pirates of Penzance at the Guthrie last night. SO GOOD! I'm so glad they lenghthened the run of it! I got rush tickets, so I got to sit in the front row! There were a few things in this version that were not in our version over at SLPHS, such as the Queen of England being in it. And they added an extra verse to the Major general's song in which they mention things like the giant cherry and spoon, and Lake Harriet. It was funny. It was fun because I was singing the whole play under my breath. Good thing the lady next to me was intranced by the actors...

I should go back to work. Or at least go back to pretending.

LOS ANGELES TIMES, October 8:

People of northwestern Montana have been advised to be on the
lookout for drunken bears. Black bears and grizzlies have
been congregating along the tracks of the Burlington
Northern railroad tracks, where a train carrying hundreds
of tons of corn derailed some time ago. The corn has fermented,
and the aroma is attracting the bears. "The bears are actually
intoxicated up there," said wildlife biologist Loren Hicks.
And a grizzly with a hangover can be cross as a bear.

And now for something totally unrelated...

Now that summer has rolled around, I am reminded that I barely get online... For there is little reason to procrastinate anything. Even so, I am sorry to anyone who reads this for not updating in a really long time.

I'm glad all the Cuba people went and came back safely and had a good time. That's all I'll say on that matter...

Money is good and I really like it...

I leave for vacation in T minus 20 days (I think..) YEY!

I'm going to go read The Da Vinci Code...

St. Paul, MN

The hit movie "Home Alone" about a boy thwarting burglars
with imaginative mayhem, wasn't total fantasy. Just ask
the guy who tried to break in while 13-year-old Ryan Hendrickson
was home alone.

Ryan was watching television Wednesday night when he heard a
noise that sounded like a window screen being cut.

"I ran to the closet and grabbed a bat," Ryan said Thursday.
"I went...into the dining room, where I saw him cutting the
window with a knife. He put his left hand in first and I was
waiting for his right hand to come in...and I took the baseball
bat and I hit him as hard as I could."

The man ran. Ryan called 911.

Police, while cautioning Ryan to call 911 first next time,
did enjoy the fact that the kid got in the first lick against
a bad guy.

To the Class of 2004:

"The time we had together is almost at an end. And now we have to try to say goodbye. There's so much to remember. And so much still ahead. I wish you all the good things you can find."

"All things end, so my friends, we too shall be parting. Moments shared, slowly drift into memories. But with time on our side one day we'll be together. Until then, we must say goodbye.

Thank you for the happiness we've shared along the way. May it be a constant friend each hour everyday. May the songs we sang together live within our minds. Sweet memories of joy and love untouched my age or time.."

Thanks for being with me through my sentimental-ness. We're almost there...

And to resort back to the title of my blog: In order to get what you want, you must take the journey... and oh what a journey it has been. And we're almost on to a new journey. So just remember where you came from and to quote (or as best I can) the Echowan: "You will always bleed black and orange" (Ok, when I grab my yearbook, I will put the actual phrase in here)

you'd think that with no homework to do and a 5 day weekend (4.5) i'd have lots of time and lots of things to write. but no. i'm too lazy. tomorrow's thursday already. crazy!! in less then 1 week, we will be alumni of SLPHS. that day always felt like so far away, but now it's here. weird! grad parties are a bit overwhelming. this weekend is going to be crazy. i'll need a long massage to calm me down after this...
