Game Day: Redskins v. Cardinals

Three weeks into the season and I am at my first Skins game as a
season ticket holder. We couldn't have asked for a better football day
than today. The day dawned in the low 50s with a high of 80 expected.
Perfect fall football weather.

The tailgate fare was breakfast food provided by phillip and myself
that would have competed well against our traditional Penn state
tailgates. Egg and sausage casserole, bacon, eggs, sausage, and little
smokies. Doesn't get any better.

All we need now is a Skins win…

Finally, Zuckerberg Speaks

To follow up on my post last Friday about the change to Facebook, it’s nice to see Mark Zuckerberg finally weigh in.

Zuckerberg: ‘Change can be difficult,’ but the redesign stays

Basically, your options are to accept the change, or switch.  Only time will tell if enough users choose the later.  My thought is that like any drug, once hooked, it will be hard to stop, no matter how painful the experience is…

On the Road

Wish we could have had a few more sunny days while we were here – I
know a direct contradiction from yesterday but as we pile into the car
to head home I will miss the sun.

I'll also miss the chaos that was four dogs and an eleven month old
and I'll miss laying in bed watching football while listening to the
waves outside. I'll miss David's constant smile as he crawled/walked
to everyone and I'll miss the relaxing moments with Lauren.

It was a true vacation and now it's time to head back home and hit it
hard again.

So… A dog, a wife, and a new job since the last time down here a
year ago. What will it be a year from now…

So, it’s that time of year when we head down to Kitty Hawk to spend a few days with the family and get some beach and sun time. This year it’s a tad more exciting with the addition of our little pup Match, and an eleven month old who is starting to take a few steps. Needless to say, it’s been rather loud and crazy.

Follow along here.

Coffee Shop Morning

Despite the humidity, it’s a beautiful morning to start the day at the coffee shop. There is a nice breeze, and the low clouds are keeping it in the mid 70s.

Can’t help but be productive and get a head start before the craziness and distractions of the office.

Lazy Bird

Blue Heron & Dead Fish

Lauren and I took advantage of the beautiful weather that followed Hanna by getting out and walking parts of the Billy Goat trail that we had not walked before yesterday morning – Section C. While on our walk along the tow path of the C&O canal we caught this lazy blue heron eating a dead fish that must have gotten caught up in the heavy rains on Saturday.

You can kind of make out the dead fish directly below the heron. The fish was actually pretty big… couldn’t tell what it was though I assume it was a bass.

The Day After

Old Town in the Morning

After the beating that the Skins took last night, I needed something to clear my mind and refocus for the day. This morning’s run did the trick. I used to hate getting up early and exercising, and had even more trouble doing it outside so early, but I’m slowly getting into running before work.

My run this morning was the first time I’d surpassed 5 miles since my knees started acting up a year or so ago. Surprisingly, they didn’t bother me at all, though as you can see from the chart, I was a bit slower this morning than I had been on my previous run.

Oh well, the point was to get some exercise, energize for the day, and spend some time outside before Hannah moves into the area this weekend.
