Oh Kc!

Today at work I was so excited to see stuff on the free giveaway table. I searched through it and found a mini first-aid kit, smelly bath salts that I passed on, a piece of rubber that helps you open bottles, and most importantly a plastic bag with golf tees and a coupon for 2 for 1 greens fees to an east bay golf course(Tilden Park). I return home and while Kc is still out working I send him a text to tell him I have a surprise gift for him (meaning us). This is how he responded.

M: close your eyes (while putting the present in front of his face.)
Kc: Sweet!! A golf pass, I need to go.
then I cook dinner and in the middle of eating
Kc: I think Joel is really going to enjoy Tilden Park.
M: (While slapping Kc) I am the one that is going with you for the 2 for 1 you dummy!

Men! Really don't think sometimes.

Laughing to myself

Today I went to the gym before work and there were some interesting characters. I was looking down while working my triceps and this older man probably 65 walks by and is wearing a sweaty shirt that says "You looked HOTTER on myspace!" I started laughing really hard and had to leave. Then as I drove to work I was in the fast lane and wondering why it wasn't moving. The car ahead of me was swerving a bit and going probably 51 mph. I get out of the lane and pass the little gray toyota tercel and see this petite asian man probably late 40's singing and conducting a fake symphony in his car. I thought it was so weird I kept looking back in my rear view mirror to see if he was still doing it. His performance lasted no joke for 4 whole minutes.

Are you kidding me? Is this Arizona?

This week it has been delightfully HOT! A little harder to walk to work and sleep on the 3rd floor of a non air-conditioned apartment but otherwise pretty awesome. During the past three days it has reached the 100s and I have learned a few tings that are a must and a bust:

bust:
cooking steaks in your oven & thus making your apt. feel like the inside of a barbeque
wearing 2 too many layers around for modesty sake
lying awake sweating

must:
snickers ice cream bars
fudgesicles
fruity big sticks
cold showers
hanging out at work a little bit longer in the AC

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mother's Day to every mother out there, my sisters, friends and especially my own mom and mother in-law.


Thanks for teaching me all you know...


Bringing me cool places...


Keeping me well groomed...


And pushing me & martha tandem in this swing...

I love you mom!!!

And a big thanks to my Mother In-Law for having this boy!

I came back today from going to Palm Springs for a day or so and Kc had grown out a Cinco de Mustache. Some people in his school had a tradition and he decided to join them.

Then he showed me this spoof on the NBA commercials. pretty funny.

Tracy...poor Tracy

At first glance this picture may say that Tracy McGrady knows how to push people around and to begin this post I must apologize for so much sports talk lately but this one is absolutely necessary. For those of you who don't know, I was born in Provo, UT and lived there until I was 10 years old. I have been watching Utah Jazz basketball for as long as I can remember and can say that through all the years, whether they have been good or bad, I have always stood as a Jazz fan. I loved watching Malone, Stockton, and Hornacek play...If it weren't for Jordan we could have had a couple championships but that's beyond the point. I know it's only the first round but there's something to be said about the comments that Tracy McGrady made regarding the Utah Jazz fans all over the world. He said, and I quote, "We hate Jazz fans. We hate that people think that it's hard to win at Utah. We want to prove them wrong." Not only did you lose game 6 in Utah...we owned you in games 1 and 2 in your own house! Well Tracy...despite your 40 point effort, your coach sat you down with about 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter of game 6 because you were in the midst of an embarrassing loss in Utah that simply proved that you will NEVER leave the first round. Maybe you hate us because we hastle you for never picking up your team when they need it the most. You may have won a scoring title a few years back but I can't count on my hands and feet all the times you got beat on defense just in game 6 alone. YOU ARE HORRIBLE and for all it's worth...Utah Jazz fans all over the world hate you too! Maybe you should think of going into retirement soon because you aren't doing much for any club that you play for. That is the 7th time that you have failed your team in the first round of the playoffs. I could go on and on about HOW MUCH YOU DESERVE TO LOSE, but I think the point has been made. The Jazz own the Rockets. I congratulate them for beating the Jazz twice at home. The Rockets won 2 of the 5 games that the Jazz lost at home all season including the playoffs...but what does it really matter. Tracy...I just have to say...HAVE FUN WATCHING THE JAZZ PLAY THE LAKERS IN THE NEXT ROUND. Best of luck to you next year not getting past round one if you even make the playoffs. I rest my peace and I hate you too.

There's a drive, an approach, and a putt

This week was a good week! When Molly and I moved to Alameda in October there were many times when we would be driving down Central Ave. past Washington Park only to see a bunch of people playing softball under the lights. After some research I found out just recently that the summer league was about to get underway and I was fortunate enough to contact the woman in charge just in time to register for a team. So Boom Goes the Dynamite took the field for the second time after the week 1 loss on Thursday night and we won in a 7th inning thriller 9-7. Down 6-5 in the 6th inning with time running out and only one inning left to play we rallied back in the top of the 7th and scored 4 runs and then were able to hold off Otaez for the win. It was a lot of fun and deserved a thumbs up from Mike, Joel, and I.


So on Saturday Molly and I decided to go out and enjoy the beautiful weather at Golden Gate Park. Joel was working on a story about Disc Golf for his communications program at SFSU and he brought out the camera to finish his story. We got there right in time to meet the big cheeses of bay area disc golf and were able to buy a few discs of our own from them. Although we were probably the only ones out there who weren't high or drunk it was a good experience to participate in San Francisco's Disc Golf culture. We'll be heading out soon to check out some of the other courses they have in Berkeley and Lake Chabot. Here is a clip of Molly's drive on the 11th hole. It was one of the hardest holes on the course. Enjoy...and if you're a fan of challenging sports you might want to give disc golf a try.
