SUMMERTIME IN SEATTLE

As the seasons change, so does ones life. It's summer in Seattle, it's a time to be outdoors, enjoying nature, blue skies, and it tends to make one feel more social. The weather has been on pace with Global Warming, beautiful with hot nights.

It's now been just over a year since I left my old job, took some time off, and am now threee months into my new employment. I think after my time off I was expecting my new job to be something more than what my old job was, it hasn't been, but it's what I missed, and I'm glad to be at it again.

My old roommate has left and successfully finished her training as a flight attendant. I have a new roommate, an old friend from college who just moved in. Not as clean and easy on the eyes as my old roommate, but it's nice to be living with somebody again.

I've gone up to my parents beach house a few times, it's been an amazing place to relax and get away from the fast paced life of the city. Besides that, it's mostly been back to work. I'm still playing soccer twice a week, going to the gym some, and running here and there. I haven't been to Pilates or Yoga since I started working and I miss the balance and health it brought to my life. I need to get back to Maya, as it was one of the better parts of my new routine.

The rest of July is going to be busy. I have a good friends wedding this weekend in which I'm a groomsman. Tis the season for weddings and this one will be perfect to start things off. Then it's off to Mt. Hood and Hood River to edit video for the LINE website. Back working with my friends Kris Ostness and Eric Pollard. That and I'll have a chance to make a few turns and experience Windells summer ski camp.

August is going to be the time to start looking for a new place to live I think. I'm hoping I can afford a house, at least a town-home, but maybe just a condo. I know Condos are the big thing, but they just feel kind of like living in a fancy hotel to me. Having spent so much of my life on the road, I need my home to feel just like that, a home.

I need to become more diligent in my blogging. I paid a fair junk of change for my website and it just makes sense to put it to good use, keeping my friends and family up to date on the happenings of my life.

I hope the summer finds you all well, enjoying the sunshine, friends, and getting a good tan. Peace.
