Contemplating my possible demise this evening...

A friend has convinced me to come fill in on his soccer team...

Last time I played competitive soccer?

1995... I think...

wish me luck.

Starting to get psyched -- we're going to my 50th High School Reunion the weekend of Oct 8-10. Its pretty daunting can't believe it s been 50 yr . We were the first class at this school (1961) and i haven't seen most of these guys since 1961 .This school opened in the fall of 1960 and merged 3 Catholic schools so the Anniversary is in sync with the actual founding date of fall 1960

Had a few calls from some former teammates this past month trying to get us all to go .

Our BB squad won the City , County and Sectional championships and went undefeated and i guess they are going to do something special at the dinner on Sat and at the Football game . This was an all guys school at the time but is now co-ed so the Queen doesn't know any of these guys .

Should be a great time

Sounds like fun, Warp!

I'm in the pseudo-cafeteria (where they only sell prepackaged food from some outside company--gross) waiting for my next class and eating the salad I picked up at Whole Foods.

I think they had a decent turnout for the reception (though it's likely those were just the artists themselves). I gallery-sat yesterday and the only people who checked out the show were my parents. Still, it's good to see my work on the wall. :D

This semester:
Math for Business and Economics
Shakespeare I
Medieval English Literature
Creative Writing I

Going pretty well, too. :D

Hey I think its great to get your stuff out there !! Gallery shows are sometimes like that The Queen is a water colorist and has a friend who shows regularly in Manhattan but i have to pull teeth with The Queen to put her stuff out . She also does incredible Psanky style boutiqued eggs( Eastern European cultural thing ) that she has taught classes in for yrs but is again reticent to SHOW her stuff .

So keep on putting your work out there Sev !! Its very good work IMO >

Wow heavy course load for a full time mom and culinary entrpreneur :D - How many hrs are youy from the Bachelor's at this point ? I'm proud of ya -- your doing well and handling alot of other roles !!

It takes a lot of courage to put your work on display knowing not everyone will like it. As long as your wife enjoys what she's doing, that's what matters. :) And thanks!

I will be graduating in December. Then I have to make the big decisions... job and pay daycare or get my Master's and end up finishing that the same time that my son will be going into 1st grade (and therefore cutting out most of the daycare expense). Regardless, I'm taking the spring off.

Well, I only skied 10 days last season! I won't be sitting on my butt eating bon-bons all day during my break. The plan right now is to work at Sundown a couple days a week and get more ski days in.

Getting back on topic, watching Top Gear on Netflix streaming and waiting for my Math professor to put our exam grades online, like he promised to do tonight.

Sorry, no video...

But I'm happy to report that I survived...

However, I decided that the stairs to my second floor office are now my mortal enemy...

Legs are pretty sore today, but that'll go away... The team asked me to come back and play on Thursday, so I guess I didn't suck too badly.

Congrats, nice work! Should be good conditioning for skiing too, if you keep playing...

Just got home from Soccer game number 2...

Chilling on the couch with a bag of ice on each knee...

It's tough getting old...

However, I am having a blast.

Next game = Monday.
