Update!

Wow, a lot has happened since I last wrote. I ran 16 of the 26.2 miles for this year's Chicago Marathon, and it was cancelled due to extreme heat (and also they had no water on the course for me until mile 9 which was terrible). I have only two more SQL classes left to go, I finally saw Neil Young live again (last time I had seen him was in 1991 so it has been a while). He was wonderful, best songs played were "Ambulance Blues", "Heart of Gold", "Cinnamon Girl", and "Cowgirl in the Sand".

The big news for me was of course the Red Sox won the Championship again and I got to fly home to see the victory parade, which was incredible. And also later in the day I was walking near Fenway and saw a car that had both World Series trophies in the back seat, which was really amazing!

I have been to the twins school and met their teachers and they are both doing very well. J. loves reading and N. is very well behaved, they both act very good at school which is reassuring.

Due to school I have not read much for pleasure lately though hope to do so at some point.
