More Amazing Happenings

Life in Boston is good. I just set up 2 interviews this morning and am itching to get a job. Also, I think we found the place we want to live and are just waiting to cross the i's and dot the t's. We had a funky little church service last night, I'm meeting people, and the public transportation has been friendly.

I'm working on a dietary plan by the numbers that will get me enough calories, protein, carbs, and fiber without too much fat, sodium, cholesterol, and money spent. So far, I've figured out that for 75c I can eat two PBJ sandwiches and a bowl of frosted mini-wheats with milk and get ALL THE PROTEIN I NEED for the day. Where does the meat fit in, then? I don't know. As I explained on the phone last night, I'm pretty much learning to roll over onto my stomach right now. Once I accomplish this phase of the plan, I can learn to crawl, then walk, then run. Being the math geek I am, by the numbers is the only way to go!

Last, what inspired this blog, is that I made another contact. Actually, an old contact. One of my best friends from Lake Champion in June of '99, Jake, has resurfaced on facebook. Jake and I used to sit up late reading theological books in the empty cabin in silence after everyone else went to bed. He was a similar soul, a thinker. He's currently in Saudi Arabia running a recreational program for international kids. WHAT? It's pretty exciting to run into an old friend halfway around the world.

I hope you are forcing your life to be full of this sort of stuff, too. Nothing has been delivered to me. I have learned to make things happen and how to press the advantage when I have it. 'Til next time!
