I just got my new schedule for the next three weeks. I'm working more day/afternoons and fewer evenings, which I'm thankful for. I'm also delighted to have the next four Sundays off. I'm training at another house, this one about six blocks from my home in Springfield. It'll take me about 90 seconds to ride my bike there, or about 8 minutes to walk, whichever I choose to do.

Jeff and co. from NYC are, I've been told, definitely moving to Oregon in October. What a development. Maybe we should hand out seat belts to everyone we know here, just to let them know that things could get crazy. Not like I expected everything to be 'normal' anyway. What is normal?

I have a sneaking suspicion that my bike tires aren't holding air very well. I should get some new tires and test the tubes. I should also see if I can tune it up a bit so the gears work better. I think I can work on that during the next week.

My younger brother Simon is at the beginning of the year camp for the new public school in Springfield that he's attending called A3. Academy of Arts and Academics, I believe. I think he gets back sometime tonight.
