Sigh…. this is the first breathing room I’ve had all this week. It’s been an insanely busy week at work and outside of work. As I’ve been reporting it was like every crazy project I had taken on suddenly came due at the same time.. 

The big one on the list was a paper I’m writing for a conference It was due today.. and I finished it at 11:59PM.. Yee-haw.. Well.. I say finished.. I sent it out for a bunch of friends to look over. Diane did a wonderful job of helping me edit it… I’ll get soem comments back and send it in on Monday.

I was still working on it at 4:44 this morning when I took this picture.. I ended up falling asleep on the floor out in the yoga space where I was working. Somehow I managed to get up and function prety well today with about 3 hours of sleep…

Not much specifically cool happened today, but I notice that I have a backlog of several days on my camera.. I think I’ll settle for eeek in review leftovers…

Then.. I stayed up all night and worked on teh @%ing paper.. woke up.. and wnet to another set of meetings with UVM..

Late afternoon after a bunch of work meetings sleepingess got the best of me, so I took off for home.. I stopped by the ahunted forest to see the beast.. homer had dropepd him off in the morning.

I got home in time to see Sumner and Kevin who’d dropped by the house to say hi. It was really good tlakign to them.. both of them now driving. It’s one of those things Sam won’t ever do…..Oh man….

Tonight I went to a lecture back at the sheraton.. the guy was a motivational speker . Nice guy.. but the message didn’t click for me. It was good to see how someone else worked a room. He did have some good stories. One thing he did was play a movie clip of Kennedy annoucing the race to the moon. that was wierd because I mentin that speach in my $%&ing paper.. Did I mention that I was writing a paper ?
