Well, hope everyone is doing well out there all over this world. I just am dropping a quick memo to update today's activities basically. Most of you out there won't get the point of this blog, but hopefully Patrick will read it soon and enjoy. Before I start, I am wishing myself a happy anniversary for today is my three (3) year anniversary with the SP. Call it a 'pat on the back' if you will, but I am proud.
So, I met up at LaSalle College High School today with Mark Z for career day there for the Sophomores up to Juniors. We were there to discuss the career of law enforcement. You would not recognize the school...looks more like a college, except the kids look even younger and 'punk-ish'. From what I remember of High School, the guys were much bigger...that or I was just so damn tiny. I saw Mr. "C" in the hallway and told him hello from you. Mr. Jackson sat in on our presentations, and I think you had him for History or something. He sends his best to you. A couple of side notes: Mr. Bloh is still there, as is Mr. Guillespi and Mrs. Poinisiac for chemistry. Little Brian Z is a freshman there, and told me they have the volleyball net up in the "PIT". Remember when students could smoke there...my things have changed. Walking out of there made me think of all the times I drove with you in the blue Honda. Anyway, if I think of anything else that I can recollect, I'll add it to this blog.
On a final note, I finally got your watch in from Casio, and will be mailing it out (with a few things along with it) to you this Friday. If there is anything you can think of that you need, just respond to this blog and I'll add it to the list. As always, be safe and see you soon....
I'm sure you heard the great news about our baby sister...wow, how people change/grow!!

Well, just like my brother, I will start with an apology for the gap in my posts. I'm back, baby! This weekend was a doosey...starting Friday night, Tina and I met up with her brother and expecting wife for dinner. Afterwards, we walked up the street to grab some ice cream. I don't know if it was a combo of seafood and dairy, but I had a mini-emergency at the ice cream parlor. When I came back out to leave the parlor, the lady who was working there forgot that I was back there...perhaps it took me a bit longer than 'my usual business elapsed time'. Saturday, I painted my porch and did some caulking. I haven't realized in a while what a pain in the 'arse' it is to tape before painting intricate items. Tina and I then hit up the city, where we watched our first Phills game of the season. The weather was picture perfect to say the least, although the fighting Phills lost in the end. Saturday night we headed into Trenton to watch the Guns Vs. Hoes charity boxing matches, where a few of my buddies put their bodies to 'the distance'. Tina immediately forbid me from next years matches...shocker, yeah I know! Today I cut my grass, which was a little over normal standards. I finished some more caulking before I put down the second coat of paint on my porch this week. Tina and I then mustered the strength to hit up the gym...if my brother can get a workout in the worst of conditions, the least I can do is push my body a little at the end of the day.

It is a long week of working ahead of me, but I wanted to drop a blog for my 'blog groupies', haha. The three pictures attached above are as follows: Two of Bodhi of course at his new size/weight, and a picture of me at my beautiful mother's birthday party. Everyone be safe, and see you soon. Patrick, (just for the record) I really paid no attention to your email labeled blog. You are going to pretty much get whatever email and care packages I send, and we can discuss your thoughts when you return, haha. A special 'be safe' to you, and remember you are missed over here every day. On an end note, the clearer picture of you and the "NOVA" jersey up the mountain is sweet...thanks!
