The bittersweet portion of my weekend in Boulder has arrived. I just said goodbye to Ben, he is driving back to the Olympic Training Center and I am about to meet up with my good friend Sharon for an evening of chatting and catching up before flying back to Honolulu tomorrow (and then to Seattle via layover in Dallas on Tuesday).
This year is going to be really hard. Ben and I will be apart until early May, so just over two months, our longest separation yet. After that we may have a week together, and then another month or so apart, and then, it depends on decisions and qualifications we have yet to make and meet. I hate it, but it’s an unavoidable consequence of each of us having high standards, diverse talents, and fantastic opportunities. The good news is he got a new computer, a MacBook Pro like mine but a bit fancier, so we can video chat!

Dave and I had to do the long distance thing for a couple of years. (though not near as far apart at you guys!). I remember hating it so much and would not wish it on anyone. I hope the time passes quickly for you!!!!!!
