...that's a quote from 'Notting Hill'. It's where Hugh Grant learns something about Julia Roberts that surprises him and the best thing to do was to move on.
I enjoyed the movie; it's kind of a sweet story of attraction, interest, and conflict with the underlying theme that with working through adversity and turmoil can come something great! Overtime, people will come into your life, some will go out of your life, and if you're lucky, a select few may cross paths with you once again.
Andrew and I have been getting back into the fitness regime again. I signed up for a running clinic on the North Shore that is scheduled for runs 3 days a week for 30 weeks. Can you say 'marathon'? I don't know if I actually want to run in an organized marathon event though being in the clinic, I'm hoping to improve my cardio/base, learn how to run better, learn to breath better, and hopefully strengthen myself to run faster. Better, stronger, faster - just like the 6 million dollar man theme...
The clinic doesn't start up for another 2 weeks yet but have been running to build up my cardio. Most days I'm running along the sea-wall though this morning, Andy, Peter, and I ran the Capilano Dam trail. It's a good run as it starts off downhill and then turns into this monster run back up this grade that seems never ending. Been getting my butt kicked but I'm staying focused on making it up the hill running vs. walking.
I had my landlords over for dinner this week. Really nice people; I enjoy their company. Made my staple Roast with French Onion Soup mix as a seasoning for the roast. Dinner went over really well; I just want to learn new dishes now before I get bored of what I normally cook!!
The condo sales have been phenomenal!! The initial plan was to sell about 20% of the units and hold the remaining 80% for sales in mid/late 2008. To our surprise, on our sales weekend and to date, we sold close to 60% of the units; not the original 20% that we were aiming for. Word is spreading fast on the build quality, what our philosophy is on the build, who our partners are, and how we're managing the overall development.
We, the partners and I, feel good about what we are building and the sales response validated a number of points for us: We are building the right product, in the right location, and at the right price.
Last night I played wing man with Michael for Michael's friend Mike. Did you get that? So yeah, Mike has a girlfriend, he invited Michael and myself over to play wing with two other ladies.
Nice setup at Mike's pad; he did some reno work and it looks good. We all sat around, drank wine, listened to music, laughed, chatted, had some dinner; it was good times. Ladies were super attractive too so that didn't hurt!!
The R1 is broken in, it really is A LOT of bike, and will be taking it in for it's first service. It's a very nimble bike and I can tell it's made for the track as even on roads with a very slight crown the bike will track along the ground. Not as forgiving or as heavy as the FZ6. The FZ6 I'll sell in spring or I may hold on to it; haven't decided.
Nothing else really going on.
1. I've been dating here and there; been meeting some ladies who have been nice enough but no real chemistry.
2. Been doing some part-time consulting work for Peter but with the condo development taking so much time; I've only devoted so much time to assist his company. Got a gig out to Calgary next week which should be fun!
3. Been dreaming about the next vacation. Thinking that if I don't go this summer, I'll definitely go in summer 2009 to trek around for a few months: Ireland, Scotland, the Azores, southern France, Switzerland, Greece, and Santorini. Always wanted to go to Santorini!
4. Will be painting my apartment soon. Earth tones mostly; a feature wall in red or blue. Also been talking to my landlord who mentioned that I can use his tool shed to build my new cabinet for the apartment.
Next update in a few weeks.
