Kind of a quiet tail end of the week but for the first time in my life I am wishing for another weekday. In a few years I may reread this and cringe, but this week went by too fast to accomplish the things on my list. MAP analysis will spill over into the weekend, MTrek coordination and GBR arrangements will spill into evenings, weekends, and next week, and all else will cascade downward like a giant meta-physical chocolate fountain.

There have been milestones to celebrate, though, no matter how minor. An email last evening confirmed that we are 'go' for Art on View website content development via a database computer that has very limited access. The arrival of "Just Dune It" and "Viva Ross Vegas!" websites wraps up what was a long and often ill-timed Mtrek.org content creation season. And on the social front, calls and emails and web-based searches shored up plans for a June wedding/reunion gathering in Connecticut.

Extra thoughts today about being busy. Turns out I really like it. My jam-packed outlook calendar means that my life has purpose, however contrived it may be. I really like the organizations I'm involved with and believe in their objectives which makes uploading trek websites less of a drudgery and more of a funnery. Being in school isn't always totally awesome but it is generally pretty awesome, so one looks around and thinks busy is a lifestyle choice that bridges school with life. At Webb I remember evenings without specific entertainment being a daunting task ("Where is everybody? What's going on in the pub?") but with a backlog of things to do, in a rational blend of critical and not, there's literally never a dull moment. If I feel like kicking back in the evenings I can, but because I enjoy both activities I consciously self-select. Alternately if I have a spare minute and feel ambitious there's always something to work on that adds value to some entity, be it a person, project, or organization - and when I stand back to look at the situation I think that both sides will be better for it.
