No AI, no peace?

So, my kid tells me that too much AI is not always a good thing. Therefore, I will keep my comments to a minimum where Adam and Kris (but not Danny) are concerned.

Last weekend, I took Chris (the older boy) with me back to loverly Sidney, NE. It was a LONG boring ride, but it was nice to see a couple old buddies. Also, I met the family who are now renting the house. They were a nice wholesome family, just like us... ;-)

Everything went perfectly on the trip and we made our way back to Omaha safely. Oh, and lest I forget, I made a cool $86 playing cards with the guys, which basically paid for the trip.

Suzanne had a little minor surgery on Friday. She's not great with needles, pain, doctors, patience, medicine, following directions, suffering silently, or stoicism. Therefore, it probably would have been better had I had the surgery myself... I'm sure it would have been easier to deal with. She came through without incident and I can tell that the pain is now almost non-existent as I'm no longer getting a minute-by-minute rundown of her current physical state.

Work is going well. We recently got another batch of servers that I get to build - which makes Anthony a happy boy. I just have to remember to do my other work and not just focus on the stuff I like to do - like building new servers for instance.

The new hockey season is going well. They decided to break the league up into A and B leagues. I am in the B league and rightfully so. I am much happier playing at the scrub level where I don't feel like I'm just some slow, old guy who's in the way most of the time. On the scrub team, I'm one of the better players! King of the scrubs, they call me.

Also, the weight training is going rather nicely, if I do say so myself. I mean, I have always been ridiculously good-looking, but now, with the extra muscle mass, I'm even better looking if that's even possible.

Tonight's the season finale of Survivor. It looks to be pretty good. Suzanne was so happy when they voted off coach last week, but I was a little disappointed. He's clearly nuts and adds kind of an awkward element that always makes for good TV.

Finally, Adam and Kris are going head-to-head on Tuesday. Honestly, as good as Adam is, it could go either way. Kris is a really good singer and seems to have a pretty strong following. If Adam goes a little too broadway in his performances, he might lose those all-too-crucial Danny votes.

I'll probably post more re: AI on Wednesday after the results show. Holy crap, I just realized that I totally forgot to mention SYTYCD! How could I have been so remiss?? Suffice to say, it's been too long coming! Thursday night, mark your DVR and set your TV to fabulous... ;-)

Now that's more like it - minimize the AI, and more about what you're doing.

I've been considering restarting my weight training, and this posting is enough to push me to consider it some more. I will now put together a schedule and get to work on a spreadsheet to calculate how much weight to lift each week based on my max.

Good job dad. I'm proud of you for posting something more than just TV shows... but anyways... I hope Suz is doing alright. I'll probably call tomorrow since it's late...
AND I'm watchcing SYTYCD with that one chick where her spine stopped growing... really sad, but it was just so different.
anyways. love ya!
