Alls Well

Wrapping up quite a weekend.  I feel like I'm just getting back into the regular schedule after having it be turned upside down.  Thursday night was a late night out with coworkers for farewell drinks for one that is heading on to greener pastures.  So was happy to have friday off.  Between the late night and an oncoming flu it was good to lay low and indulge in a mid-day nap.

Friday night I lost track of time at my neighbors bbq and ended up being late meeting up with my friend.  But had a great night catching up - I was out so late I had to cab it home.  Completely lost track of time.  Today was definitely a day of laying low, recovering from the late nights and watching the strength of mother nature.  It's still windy and wild out from the last bits of Irene coming through.  All safe and sound on this end and from everyone I've spoken with.  There's something about snuggling up during a big storm.

And the final bit of news - it's official - I can solve the rubik's cube.  I've done it enough times I think it's stuck and it's no fluke.  I'm still going to have to practice periodically otherwise I think I'll lose this magnificent skill.  I've timed myself and the fastest is under 4 minutes.  Not super fast but decent and way faster than I thought I ever would have.  I think this may be my first new year's resolution I carried through.  I guess the secret is to make the resolution in the summer!
