“To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own.” Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“When nothing is certain, everything is possible.” Unknown

Super busy week at work. Was also asked a question that I’ve been struggling to answer for a while now. Hoping I’ll get find and answer in the mountains this weekend. Went to Chicago for the weekend. Ate Chicago style pizza and hotdogs, did the river-walk, saw the Happy Exhibit, went to Navy Pier and the Museum of Science and Industry. Hopefully had my last late night/early morning flight for a while.

1) Blog consistently.
Working on pieces.

2) Get outdoors.
Explored Chicago!

3) Continue to make my position evolve.
This next month is going to be interesting.

4) Read more.
Updated my Recent Reads! Which took a surprisingly long chunk of my Thursday night. Finished Let My People Surf. Which isn’t on the list yet. Worth reading.

5) Stay in touch with people better.
Talked to Adelaide and Amber. Saw Rachel, Sumona, and Renee.

6) Finish up my obligations in Chapel Hill.
Got the draft of the first paper. Need to review it this week.

7) Run the half or full marathon in Las Vegas this November.
Rachel made me run in Chicago. It didn’t end well. Or I thought she was going to make me run. And then she left her running shoes at work. Yay!

8) Get 7 hours of sleep a night.
Giving up on this until my traveling is done. Which isn’t until next week.
