11:56 PM: every day is a winding road [#] [0]

i picked up biking again and i was so proud i got up all five hills on the way home! in may that wasn't even conceivable, and so even though i haven't done it in over a month, i was pleased to discover i haven't entirely turned to mush. on the other hand, i did feel a little sick and had to go lie down for a bit. but this will only get better.

other tidbits: they've broken ground on the new house; i don't know why they didn't begin it at the same time as the other two, but this just prolongs the excruciatingly loud noises in the morning during a time we would prefer to keep the windows open to stay cool. the blackberry season appears to be over, and tired of our non-producing plant we razed it. but still it persists in growing new leaves, so we're having to pull out the roots w/ pliers. today i stopped by the meads after the self-employed creative professionals meeting, but alas, they were not home. or they were napping with maya. one never knows.

tonight we hosted the summer mac salon, six people hanging around our living room talking about our computers. it was the first one leopoldo had been to and the first one mph missed. we almost got some new blood but bryan was unable to make it. less structured events are much less stressful to facilitate, and we have implemented a "round robin" host/facilitator thang to distribute the load.

if i was going to burning man this year, i'd be leaving sunday. that's when dan's going, and i think steve is already on his way from michigan. joe won't get there till wednesday and rachel's not going this year, either. i have little twinges of envy, but overall, i'm glad i decided to take the time off.
