Les thoughts
Hard to believe the summer is already winding down, even if I am an old man and don't have true summers anymore (at least, not right now). Either way, here's what's running through my head as July comes to a close:
*This is the last weekend sans football until the weekend of January 28th, or basically half-a-year from now. That's beautiful.
*How quick is the hockey offseason? By next Saturday, we'll be half-way between the 'Canes Stanley Cup clincher and their first pre-season game. Nuts. By the way, it's a pretty awesome thought whenever the fact that they are the champs crosses my mind.
*READ A BOOK (!!!) this week at the beach, which is a major development. Was a fiction work titled "Tunnel Vision" and had been picked up by my sister at the biblioteca for the trip. Interesting read in several regards, mainly due to the high-concept storyline...the day before getting married, a man makes a bet with a fellow London Underground ("the tube") enthusisast that he can go to the Underground's 260-so stops in one day. Even worse, he wagers his honeymoon tickets and train tickets to Paris, the site of the wedding, and hands them over to his counterpart, who will only return them when he has completed his journey. The journey must finish by 1 AM, or his wife will leave from Waterloo for Paris on the scheduled train without him. Not sure anybody could possibly pull this off, since you'd have to average a station every 5 minutes to do it and some doubling back is necessary. But it's fun reading about this dude try and the dorkiness of the friend that put him up to the bet. I'd recommend a read. Would be an incredible story if somebody actually tried this in real life.
*As for the beach trip, it turned out to be really good. Nice having a week just to think things over and be away from everything for a while. Definetly some things that I want to put into practice that came out of the trip.
That's about it. Next few weeks will be busy as I shower law firms with my resume and my desire to work for them. Hopefully an offer or two will come about as a result
