Just to keep you caught up

• went swimming and laid around on the beach at Fort Tilden
• watched a crapton of Olympics
• almost saw 200 guitarists playing at once (damn you rain)
• took advantage of a summer friday to go see a 4:00 showing of Tropic Thunder with a couple of beers smuggled out of the work fridge
• spent an amazing day with J driving all around New York state looking for just the right place to have our wedding (and maybe even finding it!)
• played soccer kind of half-assedly but enjoying it a ton
  
• continued plowing through Mad Men (which I'm enjoying a bunch)
• ...aaand paid down to zero a credit card that had led to phone calls, lost sleep & general horror. It hadn't been down to zero since college when I first got it but was burdened with all kinds of bad-mojo stupidly aquired debt which I'm beyond thrilled to see the back of. Hey, there's something to be said for getting your financial shit together. Whoo hah.
