What a fun day yesterday. After getting some work done in the morning, I dropped Abbe off at The Carriage Trade Cheese Shoppe for work, and I got home hopped on my bike and had a great time at Bub’s soccer practice.

Viv and I were running the bases at Brooks Field and Viv held the camera on herself to some hilarious results…

That afternoon, after getting more coding done, I picked up Abbe from work, we headed to Jo Ann’s to get her some materials to make hats that we plan on selling to raise money for the Disney Marathon, stopped at Target for school supplies for Van and Viv, and then rode our bikes to PJ’s for dinner. After dinner, we headed to the Sand Stand for ice cream, walked across the bridge to stare at Lake Aetna a bit, and then started to pedal over to visit our friends LarryMac, Sharon, and Tim. Hanging out at Tim’s place was a blast! Tim has a little tiny puppy named Angus…

See? He’s a dainty 160 pound (not yet full grown too!) English Mastiff – so darn sweet. And here’s Abbe vs. Angus in a tug of war… I think Angus wins this one.

Larry brought over his conga and Tim got his guitars out for an impromptu jam – what a blast!

Here’s the three of us making some noise…

Movie reviews…

The Runaways – this movie was decent, and really only flawed due to the acrimonious departures of some of the members of the band. Joan Jett and Cherie Currie’s characters were great, Kristen Stewart did an awesome job as Jett. The shortcomings of the film were the performances were dumbed down a bit (based on the raunch I’ve heard actually took place) and the other members of the band (most notably Lita Ford) were nearly absent from the film entirely. That said, this film was based on Currie’s book about the band and her relationship with Jett and Lita Ford apparently would not be involved with the film.

Today, I’ve got myself a nice full plate: finish a couple prototype pages for a big project (somewhat unnamed project, but I can tell you I’m working with BLP and Marty on this one), finish ERDs for Knoxville hospitals project, record video for Jeff Buckley‘s Grace intro for Sean’s guitar lesson this week, send out end of the month invoices, record video for Wilco‘s Either Way for Jan’s guitar lesson this week, run to the bank, short bike ride, hopefully watch a little of the Phillies-Padres game this afternoon, and then watch some of Penn vs. Edgar II tonight (Go Frankie!).

Last night, I asked Abbe to take a few pictures of me reading to the kids, because honestly, I never know when Bubs and Viv will outgrow this… I’m hoping for never.

Very proud of my pumpkin, she rode her bike with me to school today… I need to adjust her backpack (because it was dragging on the back tire a bit) but she was so proud to pull up in front of her class all lined up, just like her big brother used to …

I’m a busy monkey today, but I wanted to tell you about LarryMac’s recent achievement and give you some links to dazzle and disturb (the 2 D’s).

Check out how cool my friends are…

My good buddy(and client!) LarryMac of Wheelies fame received the citizen of the year award from the Medford-Vincentown Rotary. LarryMac’s Pedals for Progress, is an initiative where new or gently used bicycles are sent to people in developing countries. “I didn’t expect the recognition. I thought they were going to recognize the Pedals for Progress program. It was a surprise. I was speechless and humbled.” Knowing my friend, I can hardly believe he was speechless (ba dum dum ching). Way to go LarryMac!
