That’s my prediction.  Earlier this week I wasn’t certain.  A month ago I didn’t think it would be.  But today I think it’s going to be him.  Just under 12 hours until we all find out.

This and this have really solidified my thoughts on it tonight.

Update: It looks like I was wrong.  Perhaps I should have stayed with my feelings from a month ago.  Of course I still could be right.

You have to be under a rock to not know that the Olympics are currently going on right now.  I love the Olympics!  They are always fun to watch.  It’s a great time.  That has been pretty much the only thing that’s been on our TV for the past 48 hours.

The opening ceremony was amazing.  I was very impressed with it.  The fireworks looked really sweet.  The entire show was great.  I don’t know if/how that one will be topped.

While I’m not training for the Olympics I am running again.  Today I ran 2.65 miles in 18 minutes.  While that’s still a far cry over my best time, I was pretty impressed today.  So tomorrow will be a longer distance run.  I’ve found a good site to track all of my workouts, which I find quite helpful.

This weekend was really fun.  We had a bachelor party for one of my high school friends at our place (Beth wasn’t there though).  We went to a St. Paul Saints game. It was my first game, and I really enjyoed it.  They have some good between inning entertainment.  Plus it was a chance to enjoy the outdoors.  if you’re not a big fan of baseball, I would recommend a Saints game over a Twins game.  It’s a great time.

So it’s been a while.  A lot has happened. 

First off pictures from our trip to PA over the Fourth of July are up.  You can check them out here.  It was a fun trip, as I previously talked about.  But Beth’s grandpa passed away this past weekend.  The funeral was Wednesday.  Beth was out there for it, while I stayed home and was really busy with a lot of other stuff going on.

Often times over the past few weeks I’ve thought I should post something.  But here’s a highlight of things I’ve been doing:

• Twins game against the White Sox.  It was the Thursday game with all the mayhem during the 7th inning.  It was pretty sweet.
• I’ve been running a lot.  I’d like to go 4 miles today.  We’ll see if that happens.  I need to be doing 5 miles by Sept.
• Work has been interesting.
  
• I’ve been approached to do a part time job.  Not sure if I’m interested in it.
• National Night Out where I got to meet a number of our neighbors.  It was fun.
• I’m becoming more involved with a few campaigns/political activities.
• School is going well.  The end of the quarter is neigh.  That means more work.
• Summer is going by way too fast.
  

So that’s kind of an overview.  I’ll try to do better in the future.
