Hard Work
Ok, several updates for the past couple weeks…
First, the Cricket World Cup… Unfortunately, it didn’t end so well. Australia won (yet again, damn 30-game unbeaten record). But, it was after a game that was reduced to 30-something overs a side on account of rain, with the last few overs being played in near-darkness. It was a rather underwhelming finish. Now, given the way Australia was playing, they probably still would have won, but it wasn’t much of a final. Now don’t get me wrong… I want the Aussies to lose already, but they are great cricketers and there’s no denying that.
Second, the other reason I haven’t been posting much… For about a week and a half straight I was pulling 10- to 12-hour days, plus working at least 8 hours over the weekends, to meet a deadline on Monday of last week (April 30th). That deadline was met, and it’s a similar feeling as coming off of your last final exam. Of course, there’s another deadline at the end of May, but that looks like we can meet it without the same crunch time as was at the end of last month.
So, my upcoming plans… I’m going to be in North Carolina this weekend visiting some friends. The next week I’ll just stick around DC. And, finally, the week after that, I’m flying to Nashville for a few days. Looks like May will be a pretty good month. KF
