Hey I had an incredible day yesterday. First, I went for a run during the day, which was a kracker of a day. Absolutely beautiful. Not a cloud in the sky, and pretty warm. It's the same today. Awesome.
I decided to challenge myself a bit and run the Korokoro hill. I ran it when I first arrived like 7 months ago and wanted to see if it was any easier. I had to stop just once half way up b/c it was hurting my back running at the angle of the hill. But after that it got easier. By the time I got down the hill I hadn't had enough so I ran along the beach like I usually do. It was about an hour and a half run and a beautiful one at that. At the top of the hill you get some great views of the harbor.
So after that, It was time to drink! I met this guy from Ohio named Roger who arrived the same time as me in February. He and his mate came over and we played some beer pong. That was great. It's been ages. But we had to power hour it, b/c then it was time to go to the Wellington Lions match. I met the group at my work and we were off. Everyone was pretty drunk already. Get to the stadium and up to the Corparate box for me! It was amazing. A GREAT view of the field, and a 3 course dinner. Salmon, Lamb, and a great dessert. By the way, free drinks!
After that we took the train back to the pub, The All Blacks were playing Ozzie for the Bledisoe Cup. Good match, and the AB's won! So that was good. But at that point my attention span was pretty low, so I didn't catch too much of it. I was out by 1am. It was an awesome night. Now it's time for me to go to work! Sucks, on such an awesome afternoon. I wish I was going into town with the rest of my mates for the Wellington Pheonix match... I make it to one soon though. Perhaps a couple weeks...

I want a free 3 course meal and free drinks...
Well Ike didn't come in with as much intensity as Rita, but with as much water. Now after Katrina, Rita, and now Ike, the Mississippi, Louisiana, and uppeer Texas coast is rubish. The places we used to go vacation at Crystal Beach with Jim and Helen are gone. Nothing but sand remains. Gilchrist has been wiped off the face of the earth with 1,000 homes gone and only 1 left. The photos of the Bolivar peninsula look like Holly Beach after Rita. Unbelievable destruction for a storm with only 110 mph winds. Galveston is shut down for weeks. And we have another black mold outbreak to look forward to this winter from all the dead animals and vegetation in the marsh.
Count your lucky stars. Enjoy yourself, but be smart.
later.
