School fun!
What kind of crazy person schedules an exam for 6:30 AM? Oh. Right. So tomorrow should be fun then.
Also, I'm pretty sure I don't know anything. This will not be pretty.

Whew.
I left the hotel at 5:45 this morning. Worked at the plant until 4:30 PM. Drove 2.5 hours home.

In other news, I'm an overly emotional ball of emotions for no discernible reason. I've cried at random things 6 times in the past two days. And, no, I'm not pregnant. I'm surprised I didn't cry when [SPOILERS] ( Read more... ) -
Krav maga last night
It turns out that a mere 3 minutes of oblique twists with a medicine ball will be felt very intensely the next day. Our main krav instructor is in Israel for Expert Level training/testing 2 days earlier than she thought she’d be, so the other instructor didn’t have plans for class. He decided that we’d do an ass-kicking circuit workout for half an ( Read more... ) -
#1 Bike City: Minneapolis
http://www.bicycling.com/news/featured-stories/1-bike-city-minneapolisThis article is a couple of years old, but it’s a good read. The last paragraph really sums up the culture here, not just about biking. We’re not ruminants. We plod along and make do and don’t consider it any big deal. It’s why I love it here. And why we will never be a ( Read more... )
