wherein I did one damn thing I told myself I’d do

So.

2007’s off to a rolling start; today was my first day back at work. It was a pretty beautiful day weather-wise, so when I got to work Boss Lady and I walked over to Sonic so she could get some breakfast. I started thinking about how close to work I live, and so when I came home at lunch I left my car here and rode my bike back over to the law school. And you know what? It KICKED MY ASS.

Also, it felt wonderful; I made it over in just a few minutes more than it probably would’ve taken me to drive. After work I timed the ride; it came in right at fifteen minutes. Not too bad; the only scary part was crossing the heavy traffic on Pennsylvania Ave., but even that wasn’t too much of an ordeal. Let’s hear a round of applause for Oklahoma City - say what you will, but drivers here are pretty considerate and there’s never that much traffic.

I just finished a workout, and I’m sitting here sipping on water. I just made my third entry in my ten-year journal, which I am really enjoying so far. It’s kind of like the names project, only I get to take a tiny little snapshot of every day. There’s not much room to write a whole lot, which is really very nice. I particularly like the entry from yesterday:

Typical: I go to bed in the 4th quarter of the Fiesta Bowl, just when everything starts getting good. The Sooners lost and now I’m remembering that - oh yeah - school and work start back this week and I want to stay at home, safe with Brian and Sam.

I really like 2007 so far. I’m looking forward to seeing how much happens this year.
