Back in the Game

Lunch's salad buffet.

During transits, it's hard to keep the same schedule as one would on land. Obviously, I can't go running in the morning. So my exercise routine goes out the window. Today I ran out to the lighthouse again, then up a hill along the lake. I saw six deer. It felt great. 

My thoughts these days are preoccupied by what I want to do when I'm done here - and where I'll land. During our day off, I asked Bly about his plans for the future. It was interesting to hear him thinking aloud, turning each option around in his mind. I know now what I didn't know when I was younger: that you have to be careful when you make these choices. You can always undo them, but you often forget that in the consuming day-to-day routine of life. 

I did send off my letter of interest to that chef competition show yesterday. Just got to get that video submission together. But that's just stalling. Even if they chose me, it's not something I can build a future off of. It's just another distraction, another sidetrack.

Where is the main road? I wish some fortune teller could clue me in.
