Seriously, now I'm done....

Wow, this has been a week. The school semester finished this week and I had my last classes Tuesday and Thursday night. Yea!!! Last night the bird club put on a lecture by Dr. Pepperberg. The day began at 4 am as we got up to be on the morning news. We were on from 6-8 each 1/2 hour segment. It was awesome. Then I had a ton of running around to do to get ready for last nights lecture. By 3:30 it was off to pick up the printing and Dr. Pepperberg. We had to stop at Border's for her to autograph her books. Then it was 40 minutes in gridlock and a certainty we weren't going to make it to the venue. We finally got there, got the event started, and had a fantastic time. It was wonderful. We had a huge turnout and she gave a great talk. Not only did she give a great talk but most of the night was questions from the audience and people really liked that. It was fantastic. I finally got home last night at 10:30, had a bowl of cereal because I was starving, and hit the bed around 11. It was wonderful but I'm sure glad it's over.

Now, I can really focus on me. I have no classes, no events, no nothing until the end of January. I didn't get a specific workout yesterday but the early morning call and the running around most of the day is being counted as active. Trust me, I was way more active yesterday then I normally am. Today it's back to the program. I'm tired but I have no big plans for today. Hang around the house and do some chores. I am so glad that it's all over, now I can finally and totally relax.

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
