News on ...well, Today

Ok, so no time for news. The past week has been a whirlwind, Reagan's softball, mother-in-law visit, fathers day, Mels bday, boat in water attempt, jetta having starter issues, Reagan's end of year school stuff, Ian's end of year school stuff... I am tired just typing it.

So working backward, we all took a jaunt down to JFK this morn, put Reagan on the plane to PR. Oh my God, what have I done??? I am sure she will be fine. I am also sure I won't sleep for the next week until she gets back. Cool.

Work is out of control busy. But the car comes in on Wed. A slight plus.

Carmens visit was nice. She seems v

ery tired and strung out. Kinda like a herione addict without the crazy upside. Just kidding. I had a great time teasing her. Making fun of deaf people is a new hobby of mine. She takes it all in stride and occassionally teases me back. Yeah, I don't like that part...

Reagan's team made the championships, but it was cancelled last night. So now, they will be with Reagan. Good luck to them...

Weather didn't cooperate with the boat launch. Wouldn't have been fun without my Dad there to freak out anyhow.

todays survey

Since you all have done so well with the past two surveys I've taken ( another shirt slogan for Dad and do you get full eating salad or just bored ), here is another: If you eat, say, a bag full of fortune cookies - and I am not saying I have - do they all come true or just a first/last rule? Do they all negate if you eat more than one? Anyone? Bueller?

And now we are One!!!!

Who would have thought: you would keep reading after day 3? I would keep writing after day 2? (see http://robertwmason.blogspot.com/ for reference) that you would get anything out of this? that I would get anything out of this? that I would make 250 posts into this thing..? And "get" I did. Last month, I signed my first contract for a writing position (in my free time) with a Rhode Island magazine. I used many excerpts from my blog as samples and they dug it, enough to want to pay me. I am very excited about that. A big thank you to all of you that keep reading that misadventures of my family, friends and I. The journey thus far has been fun and giving you a bird-eye view into our lives is weirdly fun. At first it was like walking around naked, now I am a full fledged nudist; so to speak. In looking back over the first year, I live like a king. Sometimes all it takes is a bit of reflection to see how good you've got it. Usually this hits me on business trips and ...

How I'll probably die

My new thing has gotten me running, yes running, the past week without complaint and without watching the clock. Unfortunately, the high-risk fringe sport will probably have Ian find me at the end of the treadmill runway, twisted, with a guitar slung from my neck. What is it you ask? Some kind of Mariachi Marathon? Close. Running while playing Guitar Hero is the greatest thing since running with my buddy Jeff. Come to think of it, that really was just running with someone calling you, "fatty" the whole time, but I digress. Running while jamming on guitar trying desperately to keep up with great hits like "American Women" and the surprisingly fitting, "Band on the run". See what I did there? Anyhow, it is freaking amazing. No longer are my eyes glued to the maddening clock. No longer am looking at data (which I seem to hate when it is counting my exercise), I am playing a game. I am a Rock God when I run. Now, I know what you are thinking. Being a...
