Riding Home, 20080801fr2100

I'm at the intersection of Rochester Avenue and Ashwood Drive, turning
left (west) on Rochester Avenue to go back home.

The afternoon was busier than I originally planned on. My recollection
was that I had a client at 2:00 PM, but the schedule said 4:00 PM, so
around 1:30 PM, I went to the gym. Shortly after 2:00 PM, the client
called asking if I was still coming over at 2:00 PM. Then I realized
that I'd put the appointment on my calendar while in California, so it
was added as 2:00 PM Pacific Time (4:00 PM Central Time). The client
was very kind, understanding, and flexible. So, we just planned on
4:00 PM.

After my workout, from 2:30 PM to about 4:15, I was helping move two
beds to apartments in Iowa City for people who will be coming here in
the fall.

From 4:15 to 5:00, I took care of email and banking tasks, and didn't
get to my client's home until about 5:30 PM. They were very gracious
and accomodating about me being late.

I worked with the client until about 9:00 PM, and now I'm going to go
home and go to bed early.

Walking back from the gym I saw the Lodge shuttle bus.

Sidewalk Inspiration, 20080801fr1042

There are quotes written in brass insets on the sidewalk of Iowa
Avenue. Some are written directly pressed into the cement. This
morning upon arriving downtown, at my feet I saw these words and they
caught my attention. I'd not noticed them before. That's the way it is
with these quotes. One doesn't, in a day, see them all. Over time, you
occasionally look down and take the time to read one or two.

I'm riding to my office and carrying my two large suitcases with my
left hand.

Morning Light, 20080801fr0845

I woke up around 8:20 AM, which is 6:20 AM Pacific Time. I hope to get
shifted to a Central Time schedule soon. I'm planning to start my day
with my normal routine of stretching (Yoga/Pilates), breathing
exercises, meditation, and then a workout at the gym.

Going to sleep, 20080801fr0003

It's August already. The first two minutes of this month have gone
well. I hope the rest of the month goes well top. I've unpacked and
put everything away. Now I'm going to sleep.
