Respite

To follow a very long week+ of traveling with a very long week of work is, I'm discovering, tiring. But tonight marks the beginning of the weekend, and I'm very glad for it.

This morning Brian and I instituted our plan to start jogging or swimming four mornings a week. I ran around the old neighborhoods up the hill from us, and it felt good. I think we'll stick with it. I do think the run is part of the reason I'm so utterly worn out now, though.

Another thing we've enjoyed doing in the mornings lately is watching the Tour de France. See Brian's blog if you want to know how we're viewing it online.

Also, I wanted to say to my friends in Flagstaff, I'm very sorry we didn't stop off to say hi to anyone while we were in Northern Az. Believe me, it wasn't because we didn't want to but because we genuinely had no extra time.

In more exciting news, my vagabond brother will arrive for a short visit a week from today, and in early August, the rest of my family is likely to drop in. Good times ahead, to be sure.
