  Just for the record,
  went to the neighbors to celebrate his birthday. Our anniversary
  Was the 24th. You bet I’m looking forward to the Olympics, go USA!!!

  Ok, now who stayed up for the Olympics opening ceremony? I saw the beginning all the way up until the teams started walking into the stadium and then fell asleep only to wake up right when the last team walked in and then saw the torch being lit and all the other celebratory stuff including Hey Jude. I have to say, it might have been the best opening ceremony yet. I am biased though as it was heavy on music from England which is what I grew up with.

  I woke up around 4am with Mojo crying to get outside and stayed in bed for about a half an hour. After feeding the dogs and making some coffee, I turned on the boob tube (not the wife!) and the Olympics were on! I watched a bit while reading the paper and headed off to the gym. Every year when the Tour de France is on or every couple of years when the Olympics are on, it’s much easier to exercise. You kind of feel like your part of the race, so I got in a 2 mile run on the treadmill and then 6 miles on the bike for an hour total of cardio at the gym as they have tv’s all over the place for you to watch while exercising. Another hour of lifting weights to music on my Ipod and I’m home.

  The misses was up at 6 and didn’t sleep well as she’s still real sore as she does too much. She says she just sees something and picks it up without thinking so I think I’m going to have to tie her up! The youngest is down now sitting on the couch with us. Last night we decided that we’re laying off Wii (video games) and all electronics for a week. The youngest and his little friend can get so sucked in and play for hours on end. After playing, he’s just a pill.

  He had a play date at his friends yesterday while the oldest stayed home. We took the dogs in for a long overdue grooming and I picked them up around 5pm. Man does Mojo have a lot of hair.

  Not sure what all we’re doing today, Lorenzo (my italian partner from NY) arrives Monday night for a week. We’ll be in Steamboat Springs for the wine festival next Thursday until Saturday at noon when we have to be back in Denver. Hope all’s well, take care and God Bless and enjoy this intentional break from politics!
