Today was a frustrating day. Work was frustrating, and dealing with one of the companies I have to pay as treasurer of our condo association was frustrating (you can't send a bill three weeks after the due date on it and then immediately demand to know why it hasn't been paid yet!), and worst of all, I couldn't walk outside because it was so smoky. At first I thought there was a fire in our neighborhood, but then I saw there was an air quality alert, so it must still be those Canadian forest fires. You could actually see ashes like snow swirling around in the wind. When Travalon got home, the smoke was barely noticeable so we tried to take a boat ride, but due to the drought, the river is so low that we couldn't get our boat off the lift. We gave up and decided to go to the health club, where we swam in the sports pool. Finally, something that went right! That really lifted my mood. We got forms at the health club to participate in some contest where you log how many miles you walk every day in the summer. I figured it was a good one for me, since I generally walk five miles a day, and you have to have a partner, so Travalon is doing it too. He walks a lot at work, taking care of kids. The challenge started a week before yesterday, and last week I walked almost 38 miles while Travalon walked just over 29 miles, since the day he hung out with his old high school buddy they didn't do much walking. So we are well on our way!
Someone posted this photo of our band at Make Music Madison last week.
She posted a really good video of us playing my favorite song, "Metsakukkia," but I couldn't figure out how to save a video from MyFace. It's not obvious how to do it, like saving photos is. The one Travalon took of us during our gig in May playing the same song is even better, so I'll have to throw it on YouTube and share a link here sometime.
