Sitting \u2013 sore back (hard bed in Helena). Needing, no \u2013 wanting \u2013 better office chair for home. <\/p>\n

Enjoying Missoula \u2013 so many wonderful people. Life, pretty good here. Recession, will hit us next year (Montana is behind the curve<\/span> on practically everything). <\/p>\n

Nostalgic a bit for Bristol, hearing from many old acquaintances, friends and classmates after Ken\u2019s passing. Funny, how even in death he is bringing people together. A wonderful man.<\/p>\n

Not so nostalgic for London, but happy for my recent time there (free of drama<\/span>), looking forward to more enjoyable time in London. Some day I\u2019ll even take back D.C.<\/p>\n

Photography, a new obsession. Nine more frames purchased this weekend (at $5 each). Next step: prints.<\/p>\n

Thesis work \u2013 actually happening. Planning for an intense week and off to a good start.<\/p>\n

Work, is work.<\/p>\n

Exercise, is lacking but on the agenda. Meditation too.<\/p>\n

Speaking of agenda, and work, I\u2019m off.<\/p>\n
