Slacker Extraordanaire
It's Wednesday afternoon here in Pasadena, California, where yesterday afternoon we saw the first of any smoke coming from farther west in Malibu.
The sky started to fill with smoke - or rather the ashes - between 3 and 4 p.m. Pacific time on Tuesday, and you could feel the effect even inside buildings as my eyes began to burn.
In the parking lot across the street, I began to see an Explorer with a satellite dish mounted on top as well as yellow tape being cordoned off. Then I saw guys in military fatigues, and was soon told that FEMA was stationed in the building, and that even during Katrina two years ago, they commandeered a good bit of the surface lot to do work (my manager said he had heard that they were simply doing a lot of data entry).
As I went back to the hotel last night, I saw a couple of guys coming out of the Marriott Courtyard. Therefore, it is obvious that they've brought folks in.
Back to working out .... what's that!? My weight is creeping up a little bit. I can tell in a t-shirt or two. So, I've got to get my ass into gear. Sunday afternoon, I went to Bally's in The Woodlands to bike for approximately 50 minutes; however, I haven't done any running since the Huntsville Half Marathon.
And the check is going to get cashed this weekend as I'm doing a "pre-Texas Independence Relay" with Jay and Joy Hilscher.
By the time I get here, work (until 10 p.m. Pacific) and eat, I'm typically wiped out on Mondays. I had a plan to go to the gym last night, but it got tossed aside when I got back to the hotel room (which was after 10 p.m.) I had worked until a little past 8 p.m.
So, today, I've got to do something significant later tonight; however, I just got back in from walking some. The plan is to go at 12 noon, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. and walk a little more than a mile each time -- yes, in a dress shirt, slacks and dress shoes. However, this is just to get out of the office.
12:45 p.m. -- 1.16 miles (21:55.91 - before you laugh, there are 6 intersections that I cross and I don't stop the watch ... lol)
I owe you all a few posts, including recaps on the Huntsville Half Marathon and the United Space Alliance 10-Miler.

Hey, man, it's okay. I know you're doing what you can to make sure your dollars will be well spent come January.
I saw Bill out at the 1/2 this past weekend and he told me about the "pre-Texas Indenpendence Relay"!
