Rain at the close

It was hot when I bicycled into work yesterday, chatting with Eve on the phone because I like to have my noggin stimulated while I ride - and what better way to do this than a concept and strategy discussion? I have Shelly's car but I find it makes me sluggish, lazy and fat. So I choose the bicycle when I can. It was a good talk. Against the realist and pessimist in me I'm encouraged about this business prospect. I guess we'll see what happens...

After work, I bicycled to the Marine base and worked out at the gym. The rain poured down on me as I rode and I left little puddles and smears of water on the gym equipment wherever I went. The rain cleared just as I was leaving and I bicycled past Arlington National Cemetery with its rows of bone white headstones. The sun broke through the clouds and a rainbow arched faintly over the rain rinsed scene.

Today I woke in the early morning before my alarm, and got to work. Its one of my two weekdays away from the office and I need to make it count. With so much attempted and failed in the past two years I'm not 100% certain that the problem doesn't lie with me. What am I doing wrong? What am I missing?

I talked and corresponded with my new contract contact and we discussed the statement of work and extensions to the effort. We arranged a timeline for products. I contacted a research facility in Maryland and arranged a visit to discuss Structure Based Drug Design. I ran in the 91 degree heat (yuck!) and I took the train downtown to meet up with Joy and, later, Shelly.
