Day to day is AOK, but I feel the need to bust out a little more. I'm in a different place, but I've fallen into a routine -- and routine is what I came to the different place to interrupt. I quit going to Capoeira (see Aug 27) after my first class because I was working during the two timeslots, but I've changed my work hours a bit, and yesterday I had to the opportunity to go... but didn't. Instead I called up the girl I'm working so hard to make mine, and we saw the typical Galway rock cover band at a typical Galway pub, and said the typical goodbye where I'm reminded without words that she has a boy back home in France that she's been seeing for, oh, 5 years. So, I'm lingering in between things; hoping that if I can finally swing her it will be an adventure in itself, worth missing out on some of the other ones I could be having right now.

But, I'm being too critical of the situation. I'm decidedly giving up a lot of time for marathon training, (btw, had my longest run yet this sunday...) and am definitely enjoying the typical bands and typical clubs, and enjoying my frustrations with Emeline. But, I want more adventure and more action, and more time! And a camera and a mobile phone, and a better memory, keener eye, and sharper tongue to make this page more interesting... Keep the peace, kids.

Oh, and it's to my refreshment that Burns' site is alive again.
