Wednesday & the last night under the lights…

November 1, 2006 · Leave a Comment

Today consisted of wrapping up work for a few clients throughout the day, as well as coaching at school. Tomorrow promises more of the same.

Practice capped the day, and would be the last practice for me prior to take-off. Then I returned home to continue the process of de-clutterizing my apartment.

Here’s a picture of the attending team members; a first look at part of the cast of characters for the coming adventure.

T -6 days and counting…

October 30, 2006 · Leave a Comment

It’s official:
Things are hectic.

I am getting things done in preparation for the trip.

Today was a day of craziness, but in addition to the rest of Life, I managed to accomplish a few trip related tasks:

  • get the paperwork for my passport submitted
  • confirm that Tina wanted to sublet my apartment
  • meet with the Athletic Director about who was going to coach the middle school Squash team this season while I was away (Tina is a squash pro from the UK… isn’t that convenient?)
  • submit proof of school employment to the travel agent
  • contact THK about the lens that’s in for repair (they assured me it would be back to me by Friday)

Tune in tomorrow for more exciting adventures.
