Judy says I should post something new here. Hi Judy. I mostly go to my Facebook page to see what everyone else is up to. This site needs a lot up updating. The template is old and so are the links.

I have been out of school for about two weeks and we go back in two weeks. I made it through last quarter after a big scare concerning the clinical portion of the program. It is two quarters down now and a year and a half to go. My loans have been approved for the balance of school, a very welcome and necessary step. I was able to get very good grades, despite what I felt was having the rug pulled out from beneath me for a time.

I've moved to a little outside downtown Kirkland. I live in two basement rooms of a friend of a friend - for cheaps. It is what I really needed because my debt was going to kill me. I have that in a long term plan also. All this planning...what has happened to me?

Not much fishing lately or at least during school. I was going to go out this morning but the river is blown out for a good bit of time. It is raining/snowing like crazy in the mountains. There isn't much time for the river during school, nor for running. That last part isn't necessarily so. I think I use school as an excuse not to run. Joan sent me some money for new shoes. I'll take care of that soon.

So that is where I am pretty much right now. School will start in two weeks and I should be running again soon. I like to think that I've avoided some injuries by stopping when I did. Last year before the Seattle Marathon I was running around Lake Sammamish every Sunday for three consecutive weeks. That is about 22 miles around the lake. It will be nice to get back into that again.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays all!
