The October 1 Shuffle

The Personal:
Ten weeks to go in the academic horse race. This is a pleasant and terrifying thing. But the flywheels are all spinning and things are getting done, a little more slowly than I might want, but I'm hitting most targets. That said? Big capstone writing weekend.

Capstone shares the stage with the arrival of the Army Ten Miler. Last weekend saw the ten mile training run, so I know I can do it. I just need to avoid my own psychology. Wheels up on Sunday, 8am.

Also still finessing Lucy Kerr's story arc. She and I had a disagreement. She isn't taking her fate well.

The News of the World:
I had what wanted to be poignancy about Roman Polanski, but the moment has passed in the wake of Iran's sudden desire to ship their nuclear material to other countries for enrichment. I have perhaps listened to the media for too long, or read one too many Kennedy Assassination texts, but am I the only one who thinks Iran is making this play because they already have something enriched enough to make a bomb and they're just buying time to iron out some kinks?

Yankees:
Yeah baby!
