Change of plans

So today was a long run day with John.  We did not intend to run to Lake Ray Roberts.  We didn’t intend to run on the equestrian trail.  We also didn’t plan on spending 2 hours on this little adventure nor was it our idea to scare off a baby wild boar.  I wasn’t planning on spending the rest of the weekend recovering either.

We had a blast, but now I’m exhausted.  I’m really starting to dig the Greenbelt Corridor and it’s miles and miles of trails — it’s a welcome break from the asphalt and concrete that I usually see.  And getting to take a break sitting on the rocks at the south end of the lake was the icing on the cake.

At Starbucks working on some websites, sipping on some green tea.  It’s kind of like my second office — better than my actual office.  I should bring a name plate to put on my table.  Maybe bring a small plant and some other office nick-nacks.  Back to work — no blogging on “company time” :-)

On a side note — this is how much of a geek I am.  I slept with my HR monitor on to see what my HR was while I slept — avg was 58!  I feel healthy ;-)

Vacation?

I’m in Tyler this weekend visiting my bro and spending time with my parents; they drove up to Tyler for Father’s day weekend.  Meeting with some folks at Lon Morris tomorrow to talk Website stuff again.  The more Web sites I do the more money I get and the more debt I can pay off which brings me closer to that goal of being a millionaire by the time I’m 50!

No running this weekend but I’ll be stepping it up again this week — 5k on Saturday!

“Free”lancing

My latest project, the Dallas Chapter of the SFA Alumni Association.  This was actually a complete redesign.  The original site included a social network that just wasn’t really working.  The organization hopes to increase donations for scholarships and general operations through a business directory.  I’m still working up ideas for that, but the basic structure of the site is done — it’s very lean and utilizes CSS for the styling.  The Content Manager is actually WordPress 2.5 (I started out building my own extremely lite CMS with PHP and TinyMCE but thought, “Why reinvent the wheel?”).  I took the site design I had made and modified it into a WordPress template.

I did this one for free, but I’m hoping to generate some business from it.
