Weekend Recap

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

A relaxing weekend, just what the Dr. ordered. I watched some intermittent football, but not so much that I got overwhelmed. Got some relaxation time playing with the computers. Got the kids out of the house for some fun time as well.

So the hydration seems to having a positive affect. The back spasms have eased off considerably. Of course I also made sure to not push it too much either. Daniel & Emily had a rough couple of nights Friday and Sunday. Emily ended up in our bed both nights, and Daniel was up a couple of times. With Daniel it was the usual night time growing pains. With Emily it appears to be an ear infection, Kim is taking her to the Dr. this afternoon. No fun, but hopefully we can get her on some medicine and possible chase the fever better.

I felt really good about the minimal football watching time. Again I watched a fair amount all told, but no one game all the way through. And certainly much easier without the obsessive stat watching from having a fantasy team. For better or worse it's like drinking for me, I tend to get overboard, 1 drink leads to lots type of thing. Well I don't know any other way to play fantasy football, so it's best to just go cold turkey.

Finally got some pix posted on the Picasa site from the last couple of weekends, mostly in the Summer BBQ section. Had a chance to try out the iMac some more, I think it is easily equal to the PC, just don't have the huge wealth of games. And I got a chance to put Chrome through some paces, I was impressed with it's speed, particularly when loading graphic or video intensive sites.

Took the kids to a friends house for a birthday party on Saturday, kind of an odd situation, being the only man there with a number of moms. But the kids had a good time, once I got James to get himself involved. He has a hard time getting himself into groups of kids who already know each other. Then Saturday we took the kids to the Zoo, for one last big trip before fall really kicks in. It was a good visit, but Daniel especially had a hard time because we got started so late in the day.

So overall, a good weekend. Not what you would call productive, but relaxing, and a good final weekend before soccer starts up again for James, shrinking our weekend time a little.
