20080914su2128, leaving the office

I'm back from the gym and gathering my things because I have a client
waiting for me. They called this afternoon to request support.

20080914su2005-2050, strength training

I had a good strength training workout. I'll shower and be back to the
office by 9:30 PM.

Returning from Geoff's Bike Shop, I made a few stops along the way to
purchase some organic food bars. I've added the various brands to the
Health Resource Group page:

I'm going to leave for the gym soon to do my strength training workout.

I'm at Geoff's Bike shop having a broken spoke replaced on my rear
wheel.

This is the Orbea (brand) Orca (model) racing bike. It's on sale for
$100 off at a cost of $5,650.

20080914su1340, going to lunch at The Red Avocado

I've been at the office since about noon and didn't go to the gym yet.
Since it's now close to 2:00 PM, I'm going to get lunch before they
stop serving, and then go do my workout. The remainder of the day is
completely booked. I have a client at 3:00 PM, then another this
evening.

20080914su1031, nice cool sunny day

It's beginning to feel like fall in Iowa City. The wind is blowing and
the air is crisp. I'll be at the office today around 11:30 AM, and
then going to the gym around noon. I hope to get to The Red Avocado
today around 1:30 for lunch, and then spend the remainder of the day
on completing three projects that are due. I'm scheduled to go to a
client north of town around 3:00 PM. It's going to be a busy day.

20080914su0407, home

After stopping at the ATM, the rain stopped briefly so I went to get
my laundry to take home. On the way, I stopped at the convenience
store to fill my bike tires with air since they were very low. I
noticed a spoke on my rear tire was broken, so I'll need to take the
bike to the shop to be repaired. I'm home now, putting away my laundry.

20080912fr1204, at my desk

I've had numerous calls and emails coming in from people needing
support, one on top of another. There are three people who have
project deadlines to meet. Two computers are needing repair to be
picked up today. It's 12:07 PM now, and I'm going to try to leave and
get lunch. I've not eaten since Monday night, and last night I had
about four hours of sleep. For more information about the current

After a 20 hour work day, on the third day of a three-day long fast,
I'm a bit tired not having eaten since Monday. Despite the fasting,
and my tiredness now, I'm actually doing quite well. More about this
