What a weekend!

I had a swim meet, and I am exhausted. My kids are sick and I am just having one of those days.

I stuck around at the meet to count for my friend who swam the 1650 - the mile to all you non aquatic types. In the middle of the race the rain starts, and keeps getting harder and harder and harder. I was soaked to the bone, I hope he appreciates it.

Well now the countdown is on for me, as my triathlon is  6 weeks away and swimming nationals are 3 weeks after that. 

Hopefully after some nice rest and the kids feel better I will have a nicer day, but it still was not that bad.

Thoroughly Frustrating

Do you ever wonder what the other people at you job do all day? I wonder this all the time when easy things do not get accomplished. This drives me insane, if you have a job, do it and do it well. All this slacking and diversion of duties really get annoying real fast.

All the simple, easy tasks that should take one day take weeks, and all the things that need to be taken care of before things happen don't. If people would just make a list of things that need to get done, it would really help the situation.

Oh well, people just do not change that easy.

Song stuck in my head

I saw Walk the Line last night and thought it was great, Johnny Cash is the man. Now I had Ring of Fire in my head, until a friend of mine decided to start singing really crazy songs during this mornings swim practice.

Then for the rest of practice I had half songs in my head, kinda through me off. So I had to just listed to as much as Johnny Cash for a while to clear my head of the pop garbage he spouts. Hopefully I can just relax and listen to some good music.

The only thing is about getting a song stuck in you head is if it the wrong one it can melt your brain.

February 10th is my date of birth

I got to the party and I did the smurf - thank you Beastie Boys!

Well it was my 31st Birthday yesterday, and I played hookie with my wife. We did our taxes - the only NON fun thing we did all day.

We went to this place called Boomers and played video games - soooo middle school I know, but it was fun.

We walked up and down Las Olas Blvd. and my Mom bought us lunch.

Then we went home and played with the kids.

We went to this wonderful Mexican Restaurant and we saw The Matador - it was very funny by the way.

Then I had a good swim practice today which was run by my friend, who made the practice fun and interesting.

Well 8 weeks till the FAU Triathlon and 13 weeks until Masters Nationals, whoooooo

The First Post

I have read a couple blogs, and I figured I could give it a shot.
Observing the world the way I see it and letting people know is not such a bad idea.

Normal life is pretty intersting stuff, because it happens to everyone.

I will be adding some photos that I have taken around the world, and in
Ft. Lauderdale, and of my swimming junkie pals.

Hope you enjoy.

PS - I blame Da Hoop for this!
