Weekend Recap

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

Well we had a good weekend. Despite not getting as much rest as I would have liked, and contracting a cold, it still went well. James finished off another season of outdoor soccer with a couple more assists. James' birthday party went very well. And on Sunday I got to relax, watch some football, and try to get better. I am moving past the dreadful news of last week as well.

So James had a good final game, lots of energy and running to the ball. He had a few good shots on goal, unfortunately the goalie just managed to get in front of them. But he did get some assists from sideline throw in's though. So he got his medal, and had a good time, and I think he is looking forward to some time off from sports, and a return to soccer with indoor soccer in the spring.

James' birthday party went very well. James even commented it was his best birthday ever (although with a sample of 7 to work from that's not a lot to choose from). Justin put on an excellent show as a Jedi apprentice (thanks again Justin). Kim did a good job with the cake decoration. And James enjoyed all of his presents. So overall a good time for everyone, especially the birthday boy.

Amazingly enough I had (for me so far) a perfect football week end. I watched the end of the CU K-State game, with CU just managing to hold on to a 1 point win. Then of all things I got to watch the Rams demolish the Cowboys, a totally unexpected treat. So if the Broncos blow it tonight in New England it's OK.

So I found out the name of Earl's lawyer and from what I was able to find out from a paralegal friend of mine who works in Denver, they are a well respected firm. So I can rest assured that he will at least be well represented. Again I don't want him to get off easy or anything like that, but I also don't want him to get railroaded either.

And to top it off Obama picked up a good endorsement this weekend from Colin Powell. Which is also big for him. I think he just has to keep up the rope a dope now, eat the rest of the time off the clock until election day.
