So have you talked to Ainsley lately?  If not, you’ve yet to be schooled on the Olympics by the Olympic Prodigy, Ainsley E Matheny.

She’s so into the Olympics, it’s awesome. She knows all about Michael Phelps (and his mom), the US Stats and what’s going on in Beijing.  Find me another 6 year old so engrossed in the Olympics and not cartoons and Bratz dolls.  Damn, I’m so proud of her!

She called me the other day to check in and say hi and said “So, this baby still isn’t here yet… You know, we’ve bought all this stuff for it, and I am thinking we need to just send it back, since it can’t even get here on time!” Patience?  Ha! She gets that from her dad

Busy busy weekend as usual… A little swimming with Joey on Friday, Batman at the Imax on Saturday with Natalie and dinner with Joey and Natalie Saturday night.  Today I spent most of the day working getting ready for my trip over to Pittsburgh for work.  Such a perfectionist, I’ve been trying to get everything lined up.  More prep work to do tomorrow before I fly out.  Did a little shopping with my mom today (thanks mom  )  I was supposed to have dinner with Dad and Debbie, but they’d already eaten by the time I called them… Life’s been so busy, I’ve lost track of time many of times.

End of the month should be exciting – Joey and I are gonna take a few days off and get out of town for a break.  We’re thinking Padre, but it’s been tough to get a hotel thanks to the last Hurricane… we’ll see what happens.

If you love my taste in music (which is pretty much no one but me), the new Panic! At the Disco album is awesome.  Pretty. Odd. is out now and totally different from the last.  A bit more mellow, but a great sound as I expected.  Joey introduced me to Maria Mena who is quite comforting as well… just some nice vocals on a good track.  For a gumball, but great none the less, check out Mika, whom I’d been complacent about getting, but did and didn’t regret it… guilty pleasure number 423,752,765.
