Musings

Right so Boston was great and besides getting to see my beloved Red Sox in Boston intheir home white jerseys and sitting next to one of my favorite playres Trot Nixon (we sat in the grandstand seats next to right field), I got to go to my Dad's exclusive health club. Which was awesome and which meant I got to keep on running.

Also we played 18 holes of golf which went really well. We were both surprised by my scores and pars as I had not played since last summer in Boston with Dad.

We had some good solid conversations too which led to my really being calm, which especially happened during and after playing golf. I was so anxious as usual for the first few holes trying to do well and impress my Dad and my neck was stiff and my swing hurt me but once I loosened up and Dad told me to calm down I started really doing well. I think holes 3 4 5 6 and 7 I was great and I got lots of pars. So that's good. Par is what they recommend you to get on the hole, for instance if they say "4" then you should get the ball in the hole in 4 shots.

And as always it is just so comfortable and cool to be in Boston and see so many die hard Sox fans and so much red sox stuff. I saw lots of Varitek and Schilling jerseys worn at the game.

The girls continue to be amazing and wonderful, they are drawing often and J. drew me a beautiful picture of our house and backyard, with flowers and birds and a ellow smiling sun. Me and the twins spent lots of time over the weekend laying on the hammock. And also with my Mom here I had the chance to go out for dinners and movies with A. We ended up seeing "the Sentinel", "Friends With Money" and "Mission Impossible 3".

The promos for XMen 3, Superman Returns, the Break Up and above all The Da Vinci Code all look excellent. I am a huge Vince Vaughn fan and I noticed Jon Favreau from Swingers also is in the Break Up. Jennifer Anistion is kinda cute as well so it is a must see.

The other outstanding hard to believe fantastic amazing news is that i spoke to my sister J. on the phone for the first time in months yesterday right when I arrived home from work and the first thing she said when I got on the phone was that she will be here in late October to watch N&J so that I can run the Chicago Marathon.

My whole thing wsa that with all of the running I am doing this year I really should try the Marathon again. I have been taking it slow aside from the races of course. I was so glad I did that 10 mile race and that my body handled it ok. My plan is to keep doing 10 mile and 6 mile runs for a bit and then go up a bit. I can run for two hours now without problems, I am going to ratchet that up to two and a half hours probably in two more weeks.

So my family is great and life is wonderful. That hammock has become my own meditation/zen kinda thing and I love it.

More later.
