Settling after summer

What a summer. I think it's finally over as the cooler weather is setting in.

I must say I didn't give myself much time for rest, but hey, I had a great time doing it. Now I think I get at least a few weekends off to just relax and do nothing. I think today I'll get back on the workout track as I've been busy traveling for work, Tahoe this last week. Speaking of travel, I think I've had some pretty bad luck this year with delays. I think this is the third time I've been delayed a full day. Wish I could have it back, but I'm beginning to learn to deal with it without wanting to strangle someone... it's not a good feeling when you've already been waiting for an extra three hours and they announce your flight's been cancelled. What does this mean? Another two hour wait in a customer service line with two agents servicing an angry mob of over 100 restless other people. You have to think the stress level is just as high on the other side of that counter.

So anyways, on this last delay, I bought Dan Brown's Digital Fortress, having already read Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, and Deception Point. Let me just say this shit was crack in book form. I finished a good portion during the wait, then proceeded to read the rest in my hotel room. So much for reading material for the flight. I did some searching and found that he had a new book, a third in the series following Angels and Demons and Da Vinci Code, called the Lost Symbol. Being so new, I realized if I wanted it I'd have to bite the bullet of the hardcover price. I told myself I'd wait for the softcover and save twenty bucks. I thought wrong. During ANOTHER delay yesterday, I walked into the airport store and grabbed it, not breaking stride. Crack in book form. Not that I'd know how addictive crack is.

I stopped for groceries last night and got the makings for a shredded rotisserie chicken sandwich with red leaf lettuce, vine-on tomato, onion, homemade chipotle mayo, and shredded rotisserie chicken on self-bake ciabatta bread. I think I'll hit the elliptical and get that going.

And I think the blog will make a little comeback now that I think I'll have more time. Think.
