the pursuit

Forgetting the things behind and stretching forward to the things ahead,  I am pursuing down toward the goal – Paul

Life, like blogging, is more rewarding when you know your destination.

Here are some of the things I’m pursuing now:

• Completing the Hartford Marathon in October
• Learning German for our trip to Vienna and Istanbul in August
• Organizing my Time and Apartment (an ongoing struggle)
• Learning a Bollywood dance routine
• Looking at pretty pictures of Knitting (sadly, my actual knitting and running levels are inversely proportional)
• Enjoying life with Zack in Brooklyn, New York.

Other interests and activities include reading, keeping my orchids alive, coming up with ideas for paintings and novels that I will someday create, listening to Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me on NPR, trying to avoid getting sucked into any more tv addictions now that Life on Mars and The Biggest Loser are off the air, drinking coffee,  hanging out with friends (aka “working”),  weekend activities with the congo out in Corona, Queens, (yay! no more working on Saturdays!), trying to stay in touch with friends from back home in Virginia,   and plotting trips around the world to see other friends in places like Hungary, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Florida, California, Texas, Chicago, Connecticut, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Patterson/Walkill, New York.  Also China, Australia, and Ireland- so if you live there and would like to be our friends, let us know and we will come visit you.  Eventually.

Any or all of these topics may turn up in the blog from time to time, because basically The Pursuit is just the pursuit of “the real life,”  and that could include pretty much anything.

We’ll see what turns up.
