I opted for no nap before karate tonight and the workout went pretty well.  We did two primary combinations: jab, reverse punch, jab, then step in lunge punch.  We then did the same combination with front leg front kick in place of the jab, and rear leg front kicks in place of the other two […]

Tonight Teddy, Tasha, and I went over to our friend Rick and Kristine’s house.  They are going to watch Teddy while we are “camping” this weekend.  Camping is quoted, because more accurately we are staying in a cabin with Paul and Kara to get away from the city for awhile. Teddy got to meet their […]

Today I woke up at the crack of noon (gotta get all this out of my system before the kid arrives!) and proceeded to dutifully accomplish my chores.  I mowed the lawn, accumulated the soda cans in the proper receptacle, and adjusted the sprinkler system to hopefully soothe the three large brown spots in my […]

As I mentioned during my last karate post, they are renovating the dance studio that we use for our dojo.  They recently refinished one of the wood floors near the room we train in, so the place was filled with the hanging vapors of wood sealer and varnish.  Add to that the lack of air […]

I can’t stay long, Tasha’s out with the girls for Girls Night Out so I am off to play guitar for awhile.  For those of you that worry about such things, I went to karate first and had a really great workout. More soon!

We’re at 9 1/2 weeks (due March 26) along and we got to take that excellent picture and hear the baby’s heartbeat (a healthy 170 beats per minute) on Wednesday.  My favorite part of the appointment was […]

Today was a very fun and exciting day.  Could this be the most worthless post of 2010?  Only time will tell… watch this space, more tomorrow.  For now, sleep.

Tonight, PW and I headed up to Red Rocks to see the Goo Goo Dolls in concert.  It was a really great show, their live act has a little harder edge than their recorded work.  John Rzeznik really knows how to work a crowd and they played pretty much every hit I wanted to hear!  […]

Last night I was up late (again), so I opted to spend some quality time with my Les Paul Custom.  I got my Marshall Micro Stack that PW got me for my birthday out, along with my Grado headphones and rocked out for awhile.  Before I knew it, hours had flown by and it was […]

Today was The Day of Chores, so I started out cleaning the bathroom.  Our upstairs bathroom is an unenviable task to clean.  It gets used frequently, and I am often too lazy to get the job done in a consistent manner.  The drain had clogged, so I poured my Drano Foaming Pipe Snake down there […]
