Today is a busy day. Bubs has an ice hockey game down at the Hollydell Ice Arena, then I have back to back softball games (weather permitting). I better get going, but here’s a few pictures from last evening, Abbe and I headed to the Sand Stand after dinner and took our ice cream for a walk down to sit on the floating docks at Beach One. Beautiful.
On top of having a catch-up after the holiday weekend busy day, my body just kind of shut down on me yesterday. I think it was not sleeping well on the floor and my sinuses being indecisive with the fluctuating temperatures. But around 2pm yesterday, I had to tell all of my customers that I was calling out sick for the remainder of the day. The good news is that I did get everything done that was absolutely necessary and a very large project for my biggest customer is on target and should make them smile really big in a couple of days.
That said, the shortened make-up day is now an even busier make-up for the make-up day today.
First day back at work, crazy busy… here look at these pictures…
Movie Reviews…
Margin Call - ugh, the beginning of this movie is tough to watch as someone that was part of a layoff at one point during my professional career. The film is really well-acted, a subtle financial drama depicting the beginning of the housing bubble collapse from behind the doors of one of the largest investment firms on Wall Street. Brutality in a business suit is conveyed without tearful scenes of middle to lower income families losing their homes and livelihoods.
Fat Sick & Nearly Dead - this documentary on the juicing movement was definitely inspiring and it may have given me the path to getting my uber pickey 10 year old to get his daily vegetables. With the amount of cancer and heart disease in my family and Abbe’s, reducing the amount of meat intake and increasing the veggies is never a bad idea. Abbe and I are going to do a juice fast when the time is right (aka – when the kids are not home for the first three days when people get really cranky). That said, we absolutely will be consulting our physicians before hand. Great film too, funny and very likable, inspiring characters.
Yesterday was Viv’s rainy opening day for Medford Lakes softball, which consists of a parade down to the ballfields, running the bases, and lots of hot dogs and snacks. Viv and her buddy Nora pretty much danced the entire length of the parade route…
The Baseball Methuselah - we love Jamie, Abbe and I are planning on trying to get Phils tickets when the Rockies come to town, hopefully on the near the third base rail where visiting players commonly stop for autographs and pictures. 49!
Oh head/neck ache, please move along, there’s nothing to see here… The temperature fluctuations continue to mess with my sinuses and my neck can be attributed with a heavier workload – too much time at the keyboard.
I’d really like to find some time to get in a short run today, let’s see if my headache cooperates and if I can make my way through this big pile of coding waiting for me.
I am running the 2012 Philly Marathon in honor of my fiancee, Abbe and everyone that has had seizure disorders affect their lives. Please donate if you can
