Gradually we finally get the time to settle into the house in Boulder in the good, old summer time. Did a lot of exploring of the neighboring regions and drove up into the mountains a few times just to look.

Fezzik gets his wading pool. He also gets lumps on his body that turn out to be benign fatty tumors and he also gets some extra help from some very nice vets in the area with his arthritus. He gets spoiled rotten by a visit from his Auntie Kathy, who also brought a lovely care package of Asian food, and gets lots of walks when he is visited by Uncle Paul.

I get minor upheaval when I'm asked to go to DAC, but it all turns out for the best, as N'walins, the Big Easy is everything I'd ever read about her being, both good and bad. Beautiful, great food, humidity that would kill anything, and mad, bright, and alluring all. Realized, though, that I really have no desire to travel yet because my roots are so shallow that I feel like I'm getting pulled up again when I go.

Ended with the lure of a new Never Done, i.e. a short triathlon. Hard enough to be a real prize, easy enough to seem possible.
