There are some days when life makes sense and when things don't seem like they're going to be that bad. Today was an inspiring day. Nothing big happened, but everything went along smoothly.

This morning, as we have been for the past two weeks, the Woman and I took Riley to Lake Harriet. It's about 3 miles around. We park the car and take the dog and a backpack with water for us all. We go about half way around to the Pavilion where we stop for water, then go the rest of the way back to the car. I sweat like crazy, but I think that's good. Today the Woman and I talked about work. I had to go in for a meeting yesterday, so we talked about some of that stuff. She always seems to know more than I do about education. I use her as a resource, mostly.

After the walk, we had cereal together. We spent the afternoon apart; she had to meet with her new student teacher and I had a meeting with the Yams (my writing group). I got some decent feedback from the Yams and gave them a type-up of the notes I took during my Madison conference week.

Now we're watching rereuns of Smallville and just finished enchiladas for dinner. The dogs are all here and the house is nice and cool even though it's 95 degrees outside.

Nothing much, but I feel inspired to write, and I feel inspired to eventually have a kid. One of the Yams brought her son along. He's a little over one and he's a sweetheart. I've met him off and on over the last year and he just gets cuter each time. I think I could be a decent father if we ever have one of our own. I think the lack of sleep will kill me, but I think I'll be fairly patient.

Big doings on Smallville. Got to go.
