Finished ordering airline tickets
Update at 2300. I had some nice photo updates to the live feed this evening, but unfortunately they never posted because I reached the daily limit again. In the future, I'll begin to add updates to existing blog entries rather than creating new ones. I'll also consolidate groups of photos into a single post, as I did today with the Jazz Fest photos. Tomorrow, I'll add the photos from this evening that didn't make it online. There was a photo of me chatting on Skype, a picture of people in front of a lighted stage with the Old Capitol in the background, an artistic photo of the Seamans Center, a photo of lightning in the western sky, and my arriving home photo. These and others will get posted tomorrow.
Resources for Life Website is Down
The Resources for Life website has stopped responding. The error message is "Error establishing a database connection." After a few minutes, the website was back online.
Working on Website
I've been working at my desk for about 3 1/2 hours working on updating the website. I've updated the Resources for Life Conference 2008 page, created a Heart Songs 200807 page, and created a Border to Border page. I've also updated my personal page to have additional running information from the Nike+ site. I added a page for the Human Race event in August.
After dinner mint
I thought I'd have a Clif Bar after lunch. The Cool Mint Chocolate Clif Bar makes a nice dessert and it contains some organically grown ingredients. It is sweet, but also very nutritious with 10 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, and 250 calories. I didn't eat my sandwich or the pear for lunch. I'm saving those for dinner. The sweet potato salad, tea, Mango juice, and nectarine filled me up.

At my desk, ready for lunch
I was on the video call until about 1:30 PM and then spent about 45 minutes working on updating the Resources for Life event calendar and rescheduling the Resources for Life Conference to August 8. I also created a page for the Border to Border Tour. Now I'm going to lunch.
Running South on north side of South Grand Avenue
This is the road that goes east of the Field House to the University of Iowa Hospitals Emergency room. This view is looking south.
