Word up, monkeys.
Not much happening. Went to the gym last night. MBC and I may ride after work. We'll see.
I am riding my bike to work tomorrow. I brought all my extra crap into work today (food, clothes, etc). It should be interesting!

Most walks in a season is the coolest softball record to hold! It means they can't find your strike zone!! Tell her congrats!splat said:
Morning fellow primates. This morning I was at my desk at 7AM. Hopefully I will leave at 9:30 to go to my daughters ballet recital.
thing is she is Tiny , her first time up she swung at the first 3 pitches ( that were all balls ) , so when she went to bat the 2nd time told her nbot to swing at any thing that looked over her head , she swung at a gutter ball, but still managed the walk, then she caught on.MtnBikerChk said:
mornin all. i get my braces off today. 
Good HOUSE last night. Didn't see that one coming.........
Got out for a ride yesterday evening.....must have had some pent-up aggression, cause I was overshooting all my jumps, and just basically plowing over everything. Finally got my suspension settings back to normal after screwing with them earlier on in the week. Packed it in a little early, and headed on to the casa to grill some burgers, browse RideMonkey, and watch a little idiot box. We also got our honeymoon destination nailed down to being in Costa Rica and started making arrangements for that.
Have a gas-free day.......I've run myself out of my office a few times already this morning!!!

Mornin Stosh.
ok... the rundown from yesterday...
Took Sean to the Dr... said he still has a cold, doesn't seem to be getting better or worse. Gave us some tips to help him sleep more/better at night.
Now that the weather is improving, Emma constantly wants to be outside (that's my girl!). She's been on her tricycle a lot lately... we've been working on her pedaling. Yesterday she got it down... at least mostly. She can now pedal herself up and down the driveway with a fair amount of skill. I'm so proud of her. I think the bike doesn't quite fit her right at this point... when she gets on pedal down as far as she can pus it, the opposite pedal isn't quite at the top of it's arc, so she has to push it forward a bit before starting the downstroke. It took us a while to get the hang of that, and she still gets hung up from time to time... but once she gets a little momentum going, so can roll right along.
At 3.5 weeks... I got my first conscience smile from sean. He smiles a lot in his sleep, but yesterday was the first time he smiled right at me when awake. It was pretty cool.
I also watched house... it's one of the few (if not the only) television shows I watch regularly.
That's it I do believe...
Tonight we are meeting with a landscape person who is recommending some basic landscapping ideas for the house. Also getting a quote to fence in the back yard for our dogs. I fear it's going to be an expensive day.

morning monkeys. Jurassic 5 last night was awesome. Easily in my top 10 of concerts ever. So much energy. Just a good group. Going to beantown tonight to celebrate my friend's 21 birthday. That should be interesting. Glad work gave me tomorrow off.
HOUSE is the ONLY show I watch.jacksonpt said:Mornin Stosh.

Thats great about your daughter and I hope Sean gets better soon. Aubrey's sis had a baby in Nov and she's at the age where she is starting to interact with people. It's great!!

Good morning monkeys!
Tonight, I begin an exercise routine. I've been inexcusably lazy lately, and over the course of this winter I've gotten more out of shape than I've ever been in my life.
It'll come back quick, I'm sure, but it makes me uncomfortable to have gotten so out of shape so quickly. Wish me luck!
Anyone doing anything special for Mother's Day? I'm driving 6 hours north to see my mom this weekend.

Due to receiving a stiff rogering at work last night, I was not able to ride with T-blazer and crew :mumble:
But at least my new roadie is supposed to arrive tomorrow, although I will probably have to work late and not get to ride it

Toad's place in New Haven, CT. Man I still can't get over how good the show was. I'm actually pretty new to J5. My roommate borrowed my car one day and left one of their CDs in the player, and I ended up listening to it for 2 weeks straight.
I even got a J5 shirt last night and I got it autographed by 4 of 5 members.
Or it might mean that the pitcher sucks and can't find the plate to save his or her life as was the case last night at my son's baseball game. The pitchers for the other team sucked arse! Holy Torture.MtnBikerChk said:
I love baseball, but I'm starting to wonder if it is such a great sport for young kids. It seems like kids today are way behind in skills compared to when I was a kid - but maybe it's just my perspective as an adult. Not sure. I DO know that when I was a kid we were way more well behaved and disciplined than today's generation of kids. It was frustrating to watch these kids goof around - and at the same time, I was proud of Liam. He's one of a few third graders on his team and he was a good sport, well behaved, and he played well.
You poor man. J/k, it's not that bad up there. Where exactly?binary visions said:
thats why I dropped out.stosh said:
not really, everyone would always pick on me...not really either. lets just say working 40+ hours & school aint for me. House is a pretty cool show. I never have seen it until last week. I give it 2 :thumbs:. What about American Idol? did you watch that? I hope Federov gets the boot this week.
I like Maine a lot, it's just a long haul to drive up 6hrs. on Saturday and drive back 6hrs. on Sunday. Oh well. At least Jenn will be coming along to keep me company on the long drive!stosh said:@ maine
I can't wait for July when I go up there.

very cool
yesterday was the 1st night of outdoor vball, my team plays so much better outside (we have been getting our asses kicked inside but yesterday we were 6-1)
Most of my team hit the bar after
oh, and its my Bday & I took the day off from work!
Ahh. That's not so bad. Not much going on there, but it's on the ocean. Pretty.binary visions said:
G'mornin! Had an awesome ride last night with Snacks, TrailHacker, Skookum, and Evilbob....
I have to go shopping one day this week for "luggage" for all this business travel. Anyone know if there's such a thing as:
a professional "looking" messenger bag
that holds a computer
has room for other stuff (purse/small projector/work files/book to read/cosmetics)?
I'd like to get something practical, that isn't reserved solely for all my business travel, but something i can sling over my back for my morning commute by bike as well.
Any thoughts?

It probably has a lot to do with how parents (fail to) raise their kids. So many parents just sit them in front of the TV or put a video on for them. The kids just turn into Vidiots.MMcG said:
It's awesome that your kid is so well behaved. I'm sure it's at least a small thorn in other parents' sides.
Definitely. My mom's house is just a couple miles from a nice little bay with Sears Island accessible at low tide.ROCKLAND said:
Driving up Rt 1 to get there?binary visions said:
That's awesome!Yossarian said:
sounds like the way I was as a kid...then I discovered gymnastics and conned my mom in to letting me drop ballet and tap and jazz for 100% gymnastics...Ballet is so great for little kids...fun stuff!
your kids are the most well behaved I'VE ever seen - and for 2 boys too (not that boys tend to misbehave more but they play rougher and therefore louder)MMcG said:
Costa rica was awesome man... i went there for our honeymoon 2 years ago... have a great time!!!! May i strongly suggest the north west beach areas!!!!Greyhound said:. We also got our honeymoon destination nailed down to being in Costa Rica and started making arrangements for that.

Good luck with Sean sounds like he's having a tough time, but must love his daddy if he's already smiling Good luck with the landscaper....it's REALLY expensive. If it's something you can do yourself, you can save quite a bit of $. Look into getting shrubs and trees from Hewitts (if you have one locally). They have a lifetime guarantee and their prices are good too.
