Weekend Newz

Well it's Saturday Night here at the Sincoff Ranch. Just a few random thoughts to update everyone (Everyone!? Who am I kidding!?!? Does anyone read this?!?) I took Friday off to make it a really long weekend, what with Labor Day on Monday, and all. I liked taking time off so much that I took Tuesday off as well :) Gotta love that "Puritan" work ethic of mine, right?

Poor Tobe has his first cold ever today. He was up 3 or 4 times in the night last night. Poor little guy has such a congested stuffed up nose. It's nothing serious, he's not really running a temperature or anything. It just breaks your heart to hear 'em cry about anything (your children). I mean this is not like "baby is hungry, feed them, and they will be ok" type stuff...

Saw a Spanish film called "Shiver" on Netflix last night. Kinda cool flick about a kid w/ a degenerative eye disease who has to move to this town where there is not alot of sunlight. Of course, he is an outsider, and is viewed as such by the local yokels. Of course, mysterious murders happen at the same time. Pretty good stuff.

Got the jogging stroller all set. I took it over to the bike store. I'm ready to go jogging with Tobin once he is back to feeling himself again. I really can't wait for that. I hope he will be as jazzed about the experience when it happens as I am thinking about it right now.

So psyched to see the "24/7" franchise back on HBO with the upcoming Floyd Mayweather/Juan Manuel Marquez fight next weekend. I think all sports that are looking for a an audience should look to this show as the premier way to promote a game/match etc.. It truly makes it an EVENT. Painting Money Mayweather as the rich asshole (well, he is, right?), and JMM as the humble, tough Mexican everyman. It's just great stuff. I have respect for both guys, though I'm a JMM fan big time.

Of course we have the next UFC coming up that same weekend too. I'll be interested to see the PPV numbers of both the UFC event from Dallas, and the Mayweather Marquez fight. I love boxing, and I do love MMA also. However, consistently, MMA has delivered the more enjoyable matches lately. Boxing promoters have to be looking over their shoulder

Saw the in-laws in PA last weekend. Went to a great restaurant w/ the Newcomers! It's always great to see Kayly and Nate. In fact, the evening ends, and you wish you could hang out some more!!!
