playing back and hard work

Sunday, January 29th, 2012

БогородицаBubs, Abbe, and I took Titan over to Freedom Park for a nice romp with a bunch of doggies. We dropped our pup off at home and then headed to the rink for his game. Bubs did a really good job, he decided he wanted to play a little more defense this game and he responded well. He still needs to keep his skates moving when an opposing player gets by him, but he did seem very comfortable with playing back. Some of us are good scorers and do better forcing the issue, and some of us are better protectors. Bubs has lots of years of playing ice hockey in his future, but for now, this really suits his personality.

On top of Bubs having a great game this weekend, he also very well may be on the edge of getting his second consecutive straight A’s report card. He has an 86 in math, his only B and if he gets a high enough A on his Divisibility Rules Chart project, the boy could pull it off!

And it’s up to me to make sure Bubs not only enjoys this time where he is not only handling the schedule of being an ice hockey player and doing well in school, I want him to understand the satisfaction of working hard.

credit music, black lab stick handling drills, and singin’ in the rain

Friday, January 27th, 2012

This is pretty cool. A group of IT guys (ITidiots) post video podcasts and they happen to use one of my tracks (title – So Funky It Stinks) as their theme music (it’s in the beginning of the videos). I wrote this song nearly 10 years ago, they moved the videos to a YouTube channel and wanted my permission to continue using the track. No money involved, but hey I never made much playing/writing music anyway!

Here’s Titan helping Bubs with some stick handling drills…

And this was pretty sweet, the reminder note on Viv’s bedside table reads, “finish watching Singin’ in the Rain with Abbe”. So glad Abbe introduced Viv to that musical last night. Hearing Viv and Abbe laugh so hard during “Make ‘Em Laugh” should be bottled. No one would ever be sad ever.

Movie Reviews…

Transformers: Dark of the Moon – if you spend a fuckton on a movie, no matter how shitty the script, no matter how unlikeable every single character in the film may be, no matter if you regurgitate the same script up on the screen – people will line up like cattle to watch it. Moo.

Happily Loud Again

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

I spent most of yesterday working, but thankfully, did get enough work done to enjoy some of the Winter Classic on TV. Titan was picked up in the morning. The kids came home in the evening. The home is happily loud again.

Just a few days before Abbe, Bill, and I will be running all over Disney World. We would love for you to follow us during race day(s). You can do so by signing up here. You can follow us via phone, email, Facebook, or Twitter.
