legalmooseDid more "speedplay" this morning, bumping the pace up for 30 seconds every 2 minutes or so, recovering back down in the interim between bursts. Run went really well, pace is gradually improving and my times for my standard 5k run are coming down (yay!).
Meetings this morning with the budget folks to go over the "doomsday" scenarios under the probably continuing budget resolutions the feds will be under this fall. My personal feel on this next fiscal year's budget (Oct 04 to Sep 05) is that:
Neither are fun, and I'll spare you my "if Congress would only do their real job and pass the budget prior to the beginning of the next budget year" rant. We're going over some odd, odd things to do with two of our programs in particular, digging out especially obscure parts of appropriations law to do some things that are making the budget people queasy. Fun.

- Congress will pass a CR to last through mid or late November, after the election.
- Depending on who gets the White House (I don't think either house will trade hands in Congress), they'll either a) pass the budget in the first quarter (to stick it to Kerry); b) punt it to the next Congress in January if Bush wins.
