There is usually one day a week that Bing and I get to spend most of the day together, and we take full advantage.  Today, after we dropped Lucy off at school, we hit the hot tub for a morning swim (Well, at least for Bing, I’m a little too large to swim in it).  It’s amazing how much of last summers swim lessons he remembers.  Then we usually have lunch, maybe sandwiches and hangout and watch TV… Normally, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, he’s obsessed with it.  and if we’re lucky we get a nap in… It’s nice to get this time alone together, Lucy and I had a lot of it before he was born and it is very special.

Radio Club was today, the kids are doing so well.  They are natural radio personalities, watch out Seacrest they’ll be coming after you soon!

I’ve been bummed that I haven’t had much time to workout, I really want to get back into shape… Although my biggest problem is diet, I’ve been eating junk.  A good diet is so important… And I know this, I’ve just been lazy and using working and the kids as an excuse.

Lucy is excited, Angela is taking her whale watching this weekend… Bing and I will be doing something else, on land, I don’t do well on boats!

This stinks.  Well this saved some hassle. 3D could kill you! (OK, not really)  Assault with a deadly lid.    Bad dog. This is horrible.  No wang in our winter wonderland. Only in Florida.  A small Loss.

Rock On, Jack

To a new week.  As I mentioned the Lobster Fest was great, but things have gone a little down hill since then.  I guess Lucy is sick, I received a text this morning saying that she was achy, sore and had a 100 degree fever… Always makes you worry, but even more with all this swine flu stuff going around.  The Wi-Fi is still down in my apartment building, not to mention the hot tub is broken and only half full (which seems really dangerous to me, but they didn’t seem to care when I brought that up at the front office!?!?) and there are a bunch of other small problems… They just sold the building to a new company last week and the transition has been less than smooth!  And then there is the constant stress of not being able to find a job… Which has Stretch a little on edge too.  Anyway, enough of my complaining!

Did you watch the Emmy’s?  I watched about a hour, but tired of them and ended up re-watching Donnie Darko (Great movie!) I don’t know if it’s that I’m just not that into TV anymore, or if the show was just too slow paced and gimmicky (come on, visible control room with real “chatter” during the opening transitions and the multiple images on the screen at once… OK, you fooled me, the Emmy’s really are cool.)  In their attempt to be hip I think they have lost focus of the spirit of the awards… But I could be wrong, let me know what you think?

I went for a walk this morning, and I’ve been noticing it for the last month of so, but the city is dirty.  All the dust and dirt of summer has settled on the streets and sidewalks, months of sun baking it in.  We need a cleansing, for the skies to open and wash the city clean again.  There is a feeling in L.A. after a good rain storm, the sky extra blue, the streets rinsed… And the freeways cluttered with fender-benders.

You go naked grandpa!  Well it is football season.  Hoff in the hoffspital! Don’t take her back!  $400K stole from Bill.  Is this your kid?  A good day at the park for this kid.  Coyote ugly.  You are not a stuntman!  Double agent bad guy.

Rock On, Jack
