Another rainy day in the sub-tropics. Not that I mind. I love it. Actually, we get more rain here (I've heard) than they do in Seattle, we just get sunshine in between.

I'm tired today so far. I have a few things to do, but nothing earth-shattering. Lance is cranking on our presentations, Rick is in a seminar until lunch, and it's very quiet here today. I have seminars tomorrow and Friday all day for my loan officer renewal. Oh boy.

I made David his own sub-folder in my Outlook yesterday. He's one of the few who gets to have all of his email archived. What does this mean? Nothing, of course. He writes me usually twice a day, and is very playful. Right now, he's engaged in an ongoing discussion with me about religious views, trying to draw out my thoughts.

At least he's interested enough to ask questions.

Walked on the treadmill last night with Mikey again. Had a few minutes at home, and then had to dash down to a board meeting in Clear Lake for the church. So, my house is a wreck, and I'm pooped. =) At least I have this Saturday "off."

Meeting with an attorney to help her craft a petition against the attorney general for mis-reporting of child support information on the credit bureaus. Interesting concept.

I could go home and lay down. Business meeting at 6:30 tonight .. maybe I'll try to sneak out of here a little early.

Another rainy Houston morning - it looks like it's going to storm again. The weather predicts that we'll have weather like this all week.

Rick is out this morning, and Lance and I have to create some metrics for our marketing. I have to terminate a guy this morning, and I don't know him very well, so I don't know how he's going to react. This makes me a little edgy.

Had my first "Roots of Science of Mind" class last night - okay, who knew there were so many people pursuing the Science of Mind teaching? 17 people in this class, which is an ADVANCED class. Last night, we were reading and evaluating Ralph Waldo Emerson, which is enough to make one's brain sit up and say "wait! huh?"

So, I have a load of reading to do to get caught up, I have a sermon to prepare for next Sunday, and board meetings tonight and tomorrow night. Thursday night, Guy is coming over to watch DVDs, and David is coming over Saturday evening.

Now that David has a computer, I'm hearing from him two or more times a day. This is a good thing.

I have to get some contracts written for Scott today, and I have to get some lawsuits written for Mitch soon. Of course, he hasn't quite gotten me all the details yet, but he's pressing for me to finish the writing. Okay, sure.

Bleh at the nasty office coffee this morning.

Nicole invited me to a movie last night - boy, it was tempting to skip driving ALL the way to the north part of Spring. Now that gas is so expensive, I'm driving more than ever. Bizarre.

I feel another poem coming on; this one based on the writings of Emerson (be yourself, be true to yourself, and don't try to conform) and romance in general. I'll let you see it when I get it done.
