10 more days and this year is over. Getting close.

As expected yesterday was pretty uneventful. Woke up, did my morning stuff, headed over to the client around 8:30. Taught until 4:50, headed back to the hotel. They brought in lasagne yesterday which became last night's dinner. With the exception of the first night, I have not had to expense anything. This too was expected. That's why I treated myself to a good meal on Monday. I knew the rest of the week would be like this. I think tonight I may have to go out because we are doing a taco bar for lunch and that will be difficult to have leftovers from tonight.

Went for a walk after changing clothes. It is really nice here right now and I walked down to the grocery store about a mile away. Picked up some snack pretzels and rockstar for the rest of the week. Was back in the room around 6:30 and then laid down on the couch to watch Arrow.

I have to say I am enjoying the show so far. My experience with Green Arrow has been more relegated to the Green Arrow of the comic books and animated shows. The dark one armed GA of the Frank Miller days as well as the smart ass older version in JL/JLU. This Arrow is a nice contrast but stays in line with the other versions. I also like the way they have introduced other characters from the DC world without being heavy handed. So far we have seen Deadshot, Deathstroke, The Huntress, and Firefly. The only one I wish so far they would do more with is Merlyn but they have at least touched on that character. I wish movies could be the same way as TV shows when it came to stuff like this. The Spiderman series have been awful at shoving too many characters too fast into a 90 minute movie. At least with TV you have 12-13 hours to introduce all the characters which gives you better development in my opinion.

That as you can see was my evening. I watched five episodes then went to bed. Talked to B briefly. She had the day off yesterday and spent it watching a Harry Potter marathon then went out to dinner with friends. This last part is important and I am happy about. She actually found the nerve to call up a mutual friend of ours and they went out to dinner last night. I am happy for her on this.

Today is day three of training. This is the less formal day where we will be switching gears and going more into mentoring mode. I should finish early today and tomorrow which will be nice. The hotel should also be less crowded tonight as I have seen at least 5 doors on my floor with receipts sticking out from under them. Soon I will be one of those people heading home.
