Cats spend 4 days a week in Panama?

All in all, things are awesome - but some of the work days are uncomfortably long and I haven't been able to strike a perfect balanace yet between job-time and me-time when I am traveling. Work days Mon-Thur range from 18 hours to 12 hours, typically in descending order throughout the week, which would be less tolerable if the content weren't so fascinating. As always I am pulling out all my tricks to stay balanced and healthy including journal / doodling, snacks in out team-room, music, yoga in my hotel room, and trips to the gym.

On the home-front, my vision of a furnished apartment is developing in my head and although not physically apparent yet, is sure to be wonderful. I am making time to develop friendships in Boston and despite being gone almost 5/7ths of the week, I have been averaging 2-3 hang-outs with different people each week (all non-work people).

Here is a revolutionary war reenactor who I and my new friend Tom met while on a walk last weekend.

He showed us how to load the gun powder and how it would shoot. The rifle took about 7 attempts to 'fire' and I am afraid for the guys on the front lines, that this was close to the historical average for successful shots fired.
