Good boys

Yesterday Lori and I managed to get some more work done around the house. Ty was gone from 10 until 7 and Jag from 12:30 until 11 pm. The biggest job yesterday was taking an axe and chopping up probably a 500 pound block of ice off the deck. I have a smaller one to get to today but the worst of it is gone. Lori took a pain pill for her neck and when she does that she gets into non stop cleaning mode. I should just stand back and let her have at it but I know she’ll be even more sore when she’s done. She did get all the bathrooms clean before I could make her wind down.

I was thinking this morning about how I need to print the whole blog out on paper in case anything happens and we don’t have access to it. That made me think someday years from now, the boys will hopefully be reading it to look back and see all that happened in their lives growing up. I then thought I need to give them more credit. On a daily basis I get locked into what we did the day before which is good but I wanted to take a moment to write down just what great kids they are. Sure all kids do “kid” things but our boys are way above all the other kids out there. They’re kind, caring and will always do the right thing. You can tell when you meet someone whether or not they’re a “good person” in the sense of being a good human being. Well, we and the World are lucky to have Jagger and Ty. I always think the best way to value yourself or anyone for that matter is, do they make the World a better place. Our boys 100% do. So years from now when you’re reading this, know that Mom and Dad are proud of you both and love you very much.

Now on to the day. Lori is still sleeping, Jag is of course and Ty wants to go to the mountain at 8. I’d like to get to the gym again but am a bit sore from swinging an axe for an hour yesterday. Maybe I’ll skip it today and take the dogs up the hill. We do need to run over to REI as the boys trips are coming up fast. I keep telling them to get their stuff together and check their packing lists but being kids, of course they’ll wait until the last minute.

No football this weekend to speak of. They had the Senior Bowl yesterday which doesn’t really count except for the die hards. Tommy probably watched it. After the Super Bowl which we’ll watch but don’t really care about, it’s the off season until free agency sometime in March and then the draft at the end of April. Funny how if you’re a football fan you can use football as a calander for the year. Those of you who are real fans know what I mean.

I was thinking last night about the next few months. In February I’m in Chicago, March we’re in Phoenix, April we’re in New York as a family, May we have the Rolling Stones and June, Aspen Food and Wine and then the Bocelli concert in Denver and then we’ll probably go to Italy, maybe, we’ll see. Then it’ll be July and the walls will be up and our house starting to take shape so we’re going to be busy. I’m sure I’ll have a bunch of work trips mixed in and Lori will go see her Mom more than a few times. She’s been going about once a month now for well over a year which is good.

7:25 now so time to go. Guess I’ll go to the gym as I’m addicited to it. No snow today, maybe some tomorrow, have a fun day! God Bless.
