Late Morning

Starting my morning later than usual. Last night I bought a book called The Last World War by Ward Dayton. It's a first contact/war story. A group of reserve Marines in MO are on duty playing war games. The only trouble is that aliens have constructed a portal and have traveled across the universe and show up in the show me state. There are two groups of aliens, the Grays, who are fighting the Earthers and the Blues, who are fighting the grays and allied with the earthers. This is essentially a Harry Turtledove knock off, without the WWII element. Anyway, I started it last night and finished it about an hour ago.

So, I just did my biking. 649 calories, with Marcus Buckingham. He talked about his kid being concerned with winning all the time. Boy, I get that. I assume that you have to lose sometimes, but I have to be careful to keep myself out of situations where I can't even compete.

Off to hack down Rescue Man.
