I'm Back!

So I spent the past couple of days in Warwick, RI, for work. Let's just say it helped solidify my disdain for salespeople...

Stayed at an interesting hotel though. The NYLO hotel. It's a little too moderny for my taste. All the floors and ceilings are concrete with exposed ducting everywhere. Sure it looks kinda neat, but in practice it was horrible. We had a group dinner, maybe 35-40 of us in total, and the room we were in was solid concrete. Nothing hanging on the walls or anything to catch the sound, so it sounded like there was actually 150 of us in the room.

I would talk about it more, but it's work, and I really shouldn't... (i still hate salespeople though!)

This and That

So nothing all that exciting to report on really. Great weekend though. I played one of my best rounds of golf ever, but that's still not saying much. Saturday we did a cook out with the family followed by some quality Wii time. And Sunday we did brunch with the family followed by the wife and I taking a three hour hike thru the Bangor City Woods. Just really two perfect days for spending as much time outside as possible...

I was able to take a couple of pics of the deer hanging out in my uncles backyard ... you can see two of them thru the trees...


This one is a better shot. There were probably five or six of them in total.

We took a bunch of pictures on our walk, mostly of the landscape etc., our attempt to be artsy. But this one, this one is the main reason we need to have a kid!

I don't think we've taken a picture of the two of us together with the camera being more than an arms distance away since our wedding. Now if we had a kid, we could make him/her take the picture...

Good Thing We Had A Prenup...

I think the wife is cheating on me...

Ok maybe not, but this is what I came home to after the gym this morning..

Four cats on the bed and one wife in the bed. And as you can tell, they don't like me much. Three cats on her side, only one on mine... thankfully.

But wait, there's more!
There she is, the fifth cat... under the covers all nice and warm. I hate when they go under the covers, freaks me out. Obviously the wife doesn't mind though.

What A Game!

Doesn't matter if you're a Celtics fan, a Bulls fan, or just a sports fan in general. What a game tonight at the Garden. Ray Allen and Ben Gordon went back and forth trading big shot for big shot, neither seemingly could miss. The way they were shooting you'd think that they hoop was as big as a peach basket.

Sure, the Celtics are the better team and and the games shouldn't be this close, but seriously, after a game like that who cares. Just sit back and enjoy some fantastic basketball.

Two great games tonight actually, as I think it'll take a couple of days for my thumb to recover from the constant channel changing. With the Celtics and Bruins both playing at the same time, my channel changing skills were definitely put on display. Not that there was anyone around to witness this amazing feat, as my lovely wife went upstairs to watch tv around nine...

The Weekend, In Pictures

Good weekend all around. Yard work, golf, new baby horse, lots of hanging out...

These pictures are of the new baby horse. I'd give you it's name and weight (along with momma's weight for comparison) but I really don't remember. Needless to say, momma horse is huge and baby is like 70 lbs, so not huge...

She's basically like any other baby. Eats, then immediately goes to the bathroom, then to sleep..

Although at this point (she was born Thursday), she's still trying to figure out that walking thing...

This... is our yard monster. Last spring he came out, ate out of our garden then disappeared once we put a mini fence up. Apparently, he's back...

We can't get a good pic of him, as he's quite camera shy... and I'm not really sure what he is. Woodchuck? Hedgehog? Yard monster...

So to sum up our weekend, we did a lot of this...
But who can blame us when we have a view like this...

Well, not so much "we" as my aunt and uncle do, and we just use them for their porch and sunshine...

Things That Make You Go Hmmmm

In Star Wars, the character played by Carrie Fisher is known as Princess Leia. My question to you is this: at what point, if ever, does she stop being Princess Leia and just simply Leia? My thinking is that as soon as Alderron is destroyed by the first Death Star she drops the Princess. I mean, if you have no more subjects to rule over, you can't really keep the title can you? Maybe she's just that egotistical and refuses to drop the title? Or maybe she doesn't call herself a princess, but others still do?

Thoughts?

Spring Is Here!!!!

Well, it's actually been here for almost a month now technically, but I received an irrefutable sign that spring is finally here (just a note to all you people who don't live as far north as we do. Its still cold up here, like frost on the windshield, still figuring a wind chill cold).

My uncle called me today... asked me if I wanted to play golf Saturday. Praise Jebus, spring is here! You have no idea how excited I am. Sure, I haven't picked up a club since September, but that's neither here nor there. I get to go golfing Saturday!
