Gratitudes of the Day

1. Grateful for having some awesome weather in the Mile High this weekend. I got the track spikes out yesterday and today I was walking around in shorts and a sweatshirt; not too shabby for Feb 19th in Colorado!

2. Grateful to have spent the morning working on my broken dishwasher, because good lord that thing was nasty on the inside. After bailing out the standing water (which I almost twitpic'd, but refrained since it was causing me to gag), I took the thing apart and have reached the conclusion that either A. I can't fix a dishwasher B. The pump is broken or C. All of the above. If you answered C, Self High Five.

3. Grateful for a short work day tomorrow. I'm off duty once Europe closes, so that gives me the rest of the day to get to the track and the gym, as well as some fun stuff like track down concert tix. Some really good stuff coming up, like the Avett Bros and Devotchka for one, Henry Rollins for another.

Gratitudes of the Day

1. I'm grateful to have this guy around. He brings me an insane amount of laughs.

2. Grateful to Denver Public Schools for opening up the track at North High School to the public. They recently laid down and entirely new SportGrass field as well as a rubberized track, but were keeping it walled off from the public. Now that they're keeping it open as long as there isn't a school event going on, I have someplace to go to get my track spikes out and do some sprint work again. Between that and the rugby pitch at Glendale, what more could I ask for in terms of training spaces?

3. Grateful for the benefit that one of my friends from DU is putting on tonight to raise money for the Lao Buddhist Temple, which burned down in December. Terrible thing to have happen, and since me and the Buddha have a good understanding, I'm heading over to check it out and give some good money to the cause. Please have a look.  http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/307931839258732/
