Paul's sisters are doing a charity fundraiser and need to raise $100 as their entrance fee (total). It's going to the Twin Cities Bed & Bread Club (a Salvation Army homeless/hunger program). Anyway, I'm the only person that's given so far, so if you guys are interested, here's the link:

In other news:
Today I got some leads on some soon-to-open state jobs that could be pretty kick-ass. But "soon-to-open" in government terms means "between now and never," so...

My running has been going well; I have moved off the Jack Daniels white plan final month (it wasn't proving challenging enough, after I completed an adapted version of month 3) to just running. I run Sunday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday/walk Saturday.
This week (I'll start from last day 6, friday), I have done:

Friday: 41 minutes
Saturday: 30-min walk
Sunday: 28 minutes (it was difficult)
Monday: 30 minutes
Tuesday: X (had to trade with Monday so I could go to a college girls' lacrosse game)
Wednesday: 37.5 minutes
Thursday: X
Friday: 45 minutes

so, doing pretty good. next week i am planning on doing roughly 30-35 minutes on my shorter days, and 45-50 minutes on my long day, although eliot wants me to do 50-55. So I will try a little further.

K time to get ready to go meet Ben & Marye at the Lake Street Garage for some good ol' fashioned milkshakes! (OK I think everyone else is having beer.)
