That's It

Well, those 85 days passed quickly.  But it is done.  So be it.  This was a much tougher project than I originally envisioned.  Since much of life ends up being a bit on the mundane side, this was reflected in these 85 days.  Time commitment, especially with multimedia additions, was a bit of a problem.  Finally, as with all writing projects, purpose and audience leading to a specific focus was probably what prevented Ros and Will from adding to the project more.  I didn't define the audience well enough for them, so it was hard to know who they would be writing for.  Also, I forget how hard writing is overall.  

Now...time to come up with my next new project. 

Day 85: Saturday, August 7, 2010 - Mike

Even though I still have light back spasms, ran the back route anyway.  After getting cleaned up, went down to the downtown parade.  Home for lunch, laundry and vacuuming.  Ros and I went down to the Celebration in the afternoon, caught up with William and Alex eventually, and watched a bit of Lou Graham's performance (of Foreigner fame).  Came home to call it a night.

Day 84: Friday, August 6, 2010 - Mike

One of the last of the meaningless weekends.  Wonderful weather.  Rode the bike ten miles, then went up to work for awhile.  Came home for lunch and just stayed.  Early in the evening went down to the Decatur Celebration, to work for the Mac Booster Club for a couple of hours.  Had a beer afterward, then Ros and I ate at Mi Pueblito.  Came home to watch a Psych episode.

Day 83: Thursday, August 5, 2010 - Mike

A little cooler this morning than the last few days.  Ran the back route.  Went up to work to get some, uh, work done.  Had some back spasms and don't know where they came from.  Home for lunch.  Ros went to her movie class in the evening, so Will and I stayed home and watched an adult, sort of, Superman cartoon, called Doomsday, about the death of the big guy.

Day 82: Wednesday, August 4, 2010 - Mike

Biked ten miles this morning.  Very hot.  I was late because I was figuring out that my laptop had some malware which was very nasty.  Took it to IT and did some work in the office before coming home for lunch.  Napped some and played around on the computer.  Had chicken sandwiches for supper, then our last EOW of the season.  Lyle, Jim and Becky, Michael H., and Eric showed up.  Called it a night around 11.

Day 81: Tuesday, August 3, 2010 - Mike

Got a run in, around 7 AM.  Already quite warm by then.  Cleaned up and went up to the office to work on fall advising and other delightful details.  Came home for lunch, then went back to the office until 3:30.  Will had a teen-fest appointment at the Mall, so Ros and I went out for supper at Pho Golden Bowl, a new Vietnamese restaurant in town.  I had the Shrimp Pho and some spring rolls.  Then we came home and watched last year's Crazy Heart, a quite good movie.

Day 80: Monday, August 2, 2010 - Mike

 A slovenly day.  Or at least, I was slovenly by not exercising today.  Spent the morning manipulating and adding photos to this very blog. Ros went off to work at Millikin. By mid-morning I ran to the post office (a couple of times) and did some grocery shopping.  Ate lunch at home, then did a little vacuuming with the robot.  Ran up to the office in the late afternoon.  I cooked a supper of eggs, sausages and biscuits.  Afterward, watched a old STNG episode.
