Bike repair stuff ordered so on Friday, I should be back on my bike. I really, really need to get some more biking down and out to the rec center for weights. But, despite my lack of efforts, I'm now on the third notch of the belt I've been wearing for the last fifteen years. For the last year or so, I've been inching toward the outermost notch and actually have been getting close to needing a new belt since mine fit, but the last month or so, I've actually been creeping back in. So, yay!

I got my edits back for Wind, Bear, and Moon. Didn't come from where I expected them to (hand delivered via fightertype) but got them in email (which I was told it wouldn't work). So, 45 chapters to go and I send it out. If all goes well, I'll be able to send it out on Friday afternoon, on my way home.

Today is a quiet day at work. Fightertype is out on vacation, Fluffy is home sick, my boss is out of town. Basically, its a very quiet and I'm having trouble resisting the urge to play or write games, or work on my novel. I'm anxious to get things done, mainly because I feel that I've been cruising the last couple of weeks.

I did get some good news, uteck forwarded this article to me which talks about Google opening up an Iowa data center. Since it should be in the "middle" of Iowa, that means that I might have a really good job potential as part of our master plan. Now, to figure out how to get hired by Google and working in Iowa in the next 18-24 months.
