Not much to say about the marriage, or former marriage, as the case may be. Haven't heard from the ex (not pleasant to think of her that way, but at least shorter to type :P) in over three weeks, which is probably the way it needs to be for now. I know her younger niece is visiting, which I'm sure will be nice for her because I have to imagine she misses her family up here. Her oldest niece, last I heard, was still pretty upset with her over her decision. I've also heard she got a new job which is good since she's been without one since early June and I have to figure it's hard to live on just the $750 I give her each month. One shudders to think of the debt she may be racking up just feeding herself, but on the other hand that's not really my problem at the moment.
Work continues to go well - some occaisional 'fires' to be put out (not real ones), but so far I've managed to avoid any major catastrophes. Next work trip is coming up this Sunday - back to Hawaii. As I mentioned on jbnati's thread, I'm in a 5K this weekend benefitting the Semper Fi fund for wounded Marines and will do a 15K the weekend after Labor Day, and at the end of September my next half. I found a new training program on the internet that has me incorporating tempo runs and intervals, so hoepfully the next try will see me making more than a minute improvement. Got my bicycle back from a friend (who worked in a bike shop in college) who did a comprehensive tune-up so I can take advantage of the nice weather a little more. Swimming continues, though I have had to do a little less of it over the summer so it will be interesting to see if I can break my score from last spring's PT test.
A coworker of mine has a wife who's a trainer at the base gym, and the lady she works for (facility manager) and I have started talking a bit. Certainly nothing serious and I definitely wouldn't say I'm 'dating' - though on the other hand, yesterday afternoon on the way to the track I popped my head in just to say hi and wound up shooting the breeze in her office for 2 1/2 hours. My buddy's wife says she IS the talkative type, but either way it's refreshing to converse with a woman who doesn't look at me like I'm the sole reason for her unhappiness. If nothing else, it helps maintain a good mood and mental attitude!
