BMG and Cake


Great weekend.  We spent the weekend in Richmond and went to the "Blue Man group" concert.  As usual it was super and everyone had a great time. Of course we competed with NASCAR fans as they raced at Richmond this weekend. but I think we had the best time.  The concert was fun and they introduced some new material from the shows I had seen in Vegas.  Lot's of laughs were to be had by everyone.

Saturday was AJ's 4th birthday.  We celebrated with way too many presents and sugar loaded cake.  Even the little bit I ate sent my blood sugar through the roof when I tested it Sunday morning.  AJ spent the night in his new tent and sleeping bag in his room.  Still haven't graduated to the backyard and bugs yet!

Sunday was the final night of the Sunday Adult league and we did not finish last, close but not last.  The games did not mean much as the final positions were already locked up.  No matter what happened we could not go up or down in the standings.  The Youth league has 3 weeks to go and we increased our lead to 12 games.  Next week will set the stage for the final day. Win all 7 and all we will have to do is win 2 of the last 14.  Nice place to be.

Go Braves!

Catching Up


Bowling season is almost done.  The Sunday night league has one more night and while we managed to not finish last, we were a long way from first.  The Youth league has 4 more weeks and we are hanging on to 1st place.  Who would have thunk it?

This weekend is a mini-vacation in Richmond as we will attend a Blue Man Group concert.  That is always a great time and show.  Maybe I will dunk myself into some pink latex and blow on a trumpet and see if I can make millions.

Lady is staying busy and getting finer by the day.  She is enjoying the fact her work is now using a automatic payroll deposit system.  It makes her Thursday a lot less stressing.  We are ready for another cruise but have to wait for the funds to build back up.

#1 is going to school and hoping he can improve his employment chances.  #2 remains the same.  Peanut is working what seems like all the time.  AJ is growing and learning how to ask a million questions.  Some of the things he says are a riot and you have to wonder where he came up with it.  VJ is almost crawling. He is on all fours and rocking away with occasional movement in the forward direction.

Lew and Lil Princess are priceless and make life a lot of fun.  Lew's bowling is getting better and Lil Princess can't get enough dresses, bows or shoes.  Sounds like she has the female thing figured out very well.  Al that is left is the shopping style and Peanut can show her that very quickly.

Work is the same.  Last week they announced a hiring freeze and this week started a bonus program for recommending a new employee.  Doesn't seem right but that is Salem for you.  The bought a new station in Warrenton (WKDL) and we have been getting it up and running the last couple of weeks.  Lot's of hours for the station with a cloudy future.  Needless to say it has held up every other project we have.  Overtime anyone?
