The weekend hath arrived

Dear James, Daniel and Emily,

Another busy, full weekend ahead.  Race, kids baseball, family birthday party, family trip to Ren Fair all in play.  Still a little groggy and tired from staying up a little late for the Game 7.  Feeling very good, finally cracked a plateau, ready for the race tomorrow.

NBA

I had a plan for last night, knowing how big a deal it was to have a Game 7 in the NBA finals I decided to record the game.  But per usual not watch it, maybe track score on my phone, but otherwise not watch it.  And that worked until the game was tied in the 4th quarter, and I had exhausted all my recorded shows.  So I succumbed to temptation and watched the end of the game.  And I gather that was probably the best part of the game (which doesn't say much for the rest of the game).  I was very happy to see the Lakers win, but it was a very stressful 30 minutes or so (which is how long it takes to watch the last 6 minutes of Game 7 of the NBA Finals).  I am also very glad the series is over, and that self caused stressor is gone from my life and I can get back to ignoring televised sports.

Health

Race tomorrow morning, I am ready and excited for it.  Looking forward to showing myself how much I can truly accomplish.  And along those lines I managed to crack through another weight plateau, I had been stuck on the same weight for a couple of weeks.  But I pretty much stuck with what I had been doing, didn't make any radical changes, and it finally worked.  Just like I said last week: patience.

Family

So both boys start their summer baseball/T-ball season this weekend.  Daniel plays at 8, James at 1:30, both games at Palmer Gym field.  This is a fun thing, because Daniel seems to really like T-ball.  I think it appeals to him because overall he doesn't have to run as much or have to feel like he is racing other kids, he just doesn't have the competitive fire that James has. James enjoys baseball, and he is actually good at it, but I do not think it is his favorite sport by a long shot, I think he enjoys soccer and baketball more because there is so much more room for running around and hustle. 

Sunday I had hoped for a nice hike with James & Dad, but Dad is out of town so the only Fathers Day plan for now is a trip to the Rennaissance Festival.  Which should be a little more fun this year with the kids getting older, and James definitely far more into Medieval stuff.
