Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
Be merciful to me, O Lord,
for I am calling on you constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord,
for I give myself to you.
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive,
so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help.
Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord;
hear my urgent cry.
I will call to you whenever I’m in trouble,
and you will answer me. - Psalm 86:1-7 Favorite Blogs: |

| 6 miles with Andrew. Initially disappointed with the pace he said we were running but then said we finished progressively going faster with the last quarter mile at 6:55. 4 miles with Andrew walking kami to the gym then coming back and then to the pool. Birthday celebration day for almost all of us. (React Blue)

3 miles between lunch and right after work, then 3 mile run with Katelyn. (Altra Impulse)
So much for celebrating our country. 6 killed celebrating in the heart of the country where the "conservatives" who loves guns just renominated a person for Congress who came out and said recently a win for "white lives".
Also, locally where a group was expressing their free speech at the parade in support of women's rights (which have been reduced), "God fearing" conservatives reaction to their expression: thrown firecrackers at women and kids, yell obcenities and threaten to shoot them! So these "gun loving GOOD guys" are threatening violence against others and no response from the crowd or law enforcement.
So, what is to celebrate?

Went to the hematologist today and had promising news. Need to get results from blood tests to know any real answers but he did not seem overly concerned and indicated it is more common than I knew.
University of Idaho Alumni Association happy hour in the evening at the local brewery..Vandal drinking beer...go figure!

| Could not sleep...again. Up at 3am, watched the last episodes of "Anatomy of a Scandal" then went for a run with Moxie at 5am. 6 miles on a nice morning. Moxie now surpassed 12,000 miles running with me in less than 12 years. My most eager and trusted running mate! (Altra Impulse)
6 mile walk to SRL and back with Kami. (Launch Red)
As we were in SRL, saw a sign that warned dog owner's that due to 'excessive' dog waste on the grass that owners must keep dogs on leash and pick up poop or they would be asked to leave the property. This was I was walking on their pathway so covered in goose droppings that are shoes nearly were sliding on the path! You clear the goose poop and I will consider then picking up my dog's crap on your grass!

| Had a great time with friends at a summer BBQ last night, including Rob Murphy who came up from SLC. Kami, Katelyn, Rob and I hiked the Menan Butte Tuff Cone this morning in beautiful weather. After Rob left, Kami and I went to the gym to lift weights and then clean up the house/yard after the party. (Xodus)

Moved Katelyn out of the Cohort AirBnB today, COVID is running amok and she only has two weeks left. Had two negative tests and has not been there since Thursday, so to be safe and prudent she will stay home until it is time to go back to school.

Had dinner at a former colleague who retired recently. She and her husband are a fantastic example of what retirement should be and we plan on following their model. They showed us a slide show of one of their recent adventures that looked really cool and may get on our bucket list...they hiked teh Inca Trail to Machu Pichu! Next trip is to New England for fun and to follow a concert they want to see! They are more busy now then when they worked.

At home after work, I took a nap immediately after getting home then was asleep before 9pm. Work is so busy that I am mentally and physically exhausted!

Got a blood draw today to further investigate m pulmonary embolism. 17 vials of blood for the tests! So much that by the time we got to 10 vials I was lightheaded and ended up with a vasovasal syncopy event. Not fun. Very tired the rest of the day even though I had to do work (on my day off).

4 miles power walking after work to deal with work stress. So frustrated on a couple of things that I am ready to go to the Inspector General.

Finished reading "The Bourne Identity". While both good in their own right, the book and the Matt Damon movie have very little in common besides a few names and a man with amnesia.
