Fun in Phoenix
I’m in Phoenix right now. My brother, wife and 3 crazy boys live in ARizona because housing is more affordable than in California. I’m visiting with them until Tuesday and then I go back to Cali to see my sisters there.
I’ve spent a lot of time indoors at my brother’s place. His idea of fun is lounging around and watching movies or cooking on the barbeque. I agree! I’ve had the best vacation so far. I feel kind of bad because I’ve only run 2 miles and I don’t know if I can run more tomorrow. His treadmill is in a room with no windows or air and it’s really hard to breathe.
Anyway, I’ve learned something about staying with my brother. I need to make more money. He’s got a pool, hot tub, and a HUGE house. I bought his kids Dance Dance Revolution and I could play it all day long and people in his house could not hear me, let alone any old crusty neighbors stirring up trouble!
Seriously, what I"ve learned is that time can go by so slowly in the suburbs. I played games, threw around my nephews, watched a movie, had breakfast, ran 2 miles and it was barely noon! I fall asleep by 10pm in front of the tv! In DC, I wake up, run 2 miles, read the paper and I’m running late to work. I can’t even fall asleep by midnight most of the times. I don’t know, maybe it’s the time difference…
I’m off to bed. It’s 10:17pm and I am knackered!
