My how the time flies.  I was originally going to title this post "Wake me up, when September ends"  but we're way past that point already.  The alarm has been ringing all month long for me to wake from my slumber, but I've been dreaming and watching everything move at the speed of life.

First off, the race went very well.  I did it in just under 2 hours and andy did it in just over 80 minutes.  I learned that I do not have the mind of a competitive runner that day.  I definitely want to keep working and pushing my physical abilities though.  I’m hoping for an 80 minute run next year.  I was able to clear the taxi at the end though, something that I guess no one else was able to do.  Here’s a picture of that. 

Things with Kallie continue to grow.  She got a job here in the ER at Children’s Hospital and starts November 10^th.  She’s also got a nice place a few blocks from my house in the Bedford hill apartments.  We’ve been traveling since she’s come here, so we haven’t had a chance to find a church together yet, but it’s certainly a top priority.  She still has a lot of logistics on her plate, and I’m sure she misses everyone from Philly, so I’m trying to stay supportive, encouraging, and respectful.  I am finding that I can suck at all 3 of those.

How about 4 people I know got engaged 2 weekends ago?  Tis the season?  Keren was one of them.  They’re planning their big fat greek wedding already.  Sounds…interesting.

I’ve just been so jammed packed with activity and travel that I haven’t had much time for music or for trying for my MBA.  Work has been stressful as well with the market in the shape it’s in.  More updates to come as they are revealed.

Birthday is coming up…turning 26…I was telling Kallie the other day, I’m actually feeling good about this birthday, and that’s highly uncharacteristic of me.  I’m seeing 26 as a point of distinguished and responsible status and I’m happy to reach that level.  No definite plans though, usually I take the week off and travel somewhere, but I don’t think I have money for that this year, with that $1500 truck bill I had last month.  I really have to track down those holes in my pockets…
