Hooray for the weekend, and stuff!

What a banner Friday we've had so far here at the workplace! To begin, Thursdays are the new Fridays. There is nothing better than getting Indian food, and then watching "The First 48" on TV. Man, do I love that show. It's weird, sad, and frustrating to see how easily we kill each other w/ not a thought at all. Check the show out, and see how doggedly these homicide detectives pursue each case.

I had the Tandoori mixed grill and Vicki had a delicious Botti Kebab. We had 2 different kinds of Nan which rocked! Great meal. I even got to take Tobin on a little walk. It's a blast to bond with him like that. I love seeing him stick his bare feets up in the air, and letting the wind hit them, he shrieks w/ glee. It's pretty awesome.

It was a very special lunch time here at the drug place as Vicki and Tobin met me for lunch, and then I showed them off to my office :) THAT was alot of fun! Tobin had a blast running around so much that he passed out when he got home!! I love the attached pic:

It's another big milestone event as we are heading to synagogue for Tobin's naming ceremony. it's a big event, a milestone in any young Jewish boy/girl's life. I'm getting teary eyed thinking about it! I will make sure that you guys get a full report for sure!!

There is a UFC PPV this weekend, but the card does not do wonders for me. BJ Penn, and Anderson Silva are fighting (in separate fights) and they totally dominate their oponents, always. They are such skilled athletes that no one can even come close to them. As a result, I'm gonna abstain from watching this one, and I will get the updates online from one of the MMA websites.

The cool(ish) thing is that this is the first card in Abu Dhabi! How cool is it that the UFC has come to the Middle East?!?! Pretty groovy stuff seeing this sport grow so much. AAAAH, I remember when no one was into mma! Hey, it's cool sometimes when stuff you dig catches on, y'know?

Before I sign off I have to wish a Happy Soon to be Birthday for my gorgeous wife, Vicki. Honey, you are the most amazing, gorgeous, kind, funny, fierce Wife and Mom! I love you tons xoxooxo

"The World Serious..."

As Bugs Bunny would say is upon us! However, I am not that into it. I am trying to cheer, for my wife, and in-laws sake for Philadelphia, as the Phillies are playing the Tampa Bay (Formerly Devil) Rays at Tropicana Field. Now, folks familiar to me will know that I went to college at Temple University in Philly. I found it a fun, but tremendously UNDERWHELMING town. This is something that I like to remind my friend Mary about all the time! Nonetheless, I will root for the Phillies, to keep everything mellow on the home and in-law front. Why not, right?

Interestingly, the Tampa Bay Rays, have a Japanese infielder named Akinori Iwamura. I've always been fascinated by the idea of the foreign player playing baseball in America. I know the Japanese have a long history of baseball in their own country, but to play here? In a strange land? How does the players (there are several of 'em in the majors now) live? Do they constantly travel with interpreters? I guess the team has to pay them too, right? Do they try to learn English at all? In a parallel sense, former NY Mets Manager Bobby Valentine now coaches in Japan, has learned Japanese, and loves living there!

Sadly, in MMA news, we saw Elite XC go out of business this week. They had very few good fights, and they promoted that Kimbo Slice farce guy which pissed a MMA purist like me off to no end. Apparently they ran up a $55 million dollar deficit in under 2 years! Crazy, huh?.

Looking forward to seeing Anderson Silva fighting on the UFC card this weekend! One thing about "The Spider", he does not play around. He goes for the kill, either to submit, or knock you out. I've never seen an mma fighter so awesome!

The election news keeps on getting better and better. Huffington Post is saying how the NY Times Sunday Magazine will have a big article about the disintegration of the McCain Campaign, and the "Schizophrenic" Leadership of Steve Schmidt! I LOVE IT!!!! I truly will be working for the Weekend now!!! LOL
