What's going on
Let's see. We had a fun-filled Memorial day weekend. Saw Indiana Jones... I sort of share Chad's thoughts. The one point I wanted to make was that the writing, I felt, had that same wittiness that the older movies had. That is something I was very excited to see.
Earlier this week Carrie and I went for a swim in the lake at the gym. We were going to swim in the pool, but it was full, so we decided, heck, let's just swim in the lake, that's what it's there for, right? I was little nervous and I wasn't sure how far I was going to be able to go. The loop around the lake is 750 meters, and I didn't think I would be able to pull that off. But I made it to the first buoy and felt really good. So we kept going... I took a few short breast stroke breaks, but I've never swam so consistently and felt so comfortable swimming as I did then. Towards the end a rainstorm showed up, and we got some practicing swimming with little waves splashing us while we tried to breathe. But it was a pretty cool experience... it was the first time that I felt that maybe I could do this half-ironman in October. So yeah... I think I'm going to sign up for the Longhorn. Any other takers?
I've been using the past three weeks to try and recover some from the OSDI push. However, I know that is now time to get back to it for the final push for my dissertation and defense. It's just so consuming... it's sort of hard to get back into it, but this is the final push for my degree, and I have to get it done.
