Logo's

Lately I have been feeling very busy. I generally have something to do after work everyday, sometimes it's a fun something sometime it's a must do something. Anyway not sure why I started the post that way but I'm mostly here to deliver some good news, well I think it's good or exciting anyway. Perhaps mostly to me than to anyone else. Last week I received my first shipment of Bookie Productions shirts, and today I received our new finished logo for Portland Men on Sports. I've posted it below. Carlyn who I work with designed the logo for me. You can reach her at carlyndesigns@mac.com. I hope you like.

You have to slide

So I played in a softball game the other day in which the umpire informed us that if there is a close play the runner must slide or would be called out. I guess I still need to work on my sliding technique.

Really?

Now I’ve never been one to count carbs, drink lite anything, or really watch what I eat. However ever since Bree became pregnant she has been eating more and that means I have been eating more, and I really have no “portion control” ability. So last week I took out the bathroom scale and weighed myself. You could say I was a bit surprised. Now before I get into the exact number, I debated on whether to let you know or not. But I figure this will give me some accountability. Anyway to make a long story short I need to drop a few pounds, normally I’m not concerned with the actual number but rather if I’m in shape or not. So here we go, my weight as of 7/8 is 201 lbs. Scary I know. But you can be my witness I would like to get down to 175 lbs. That’s 26 pounds. I don’t really have a goal date or anything but the sooner the better, heck soccer season starts in September and I’m not sure I can round around like I am. So keep me in check please.

Seattle trip

Saturday: I got up around 5. I picked up Paul, Scott and Mike for Paul’s bachelor party and we headed off to Seattle. We got to Seattle checked into the hotel and then headed over to Pyramid brewery for some lunch, afterwards we walked across the street to the stadium and grabbed our seats. Pretty good seats, 13 rows up from the left field line. After the game we grabbed some food and watched Paul get drunk. He gets very talkative when he is drunk. We were sitting by the window looking out at the stadium and got to see all the folks who showed up to a rave at the building next door. There were some very interesting looking folks.

Sunday: We got up had some breakfast and headed to the stadium. This time we were 17 rows back of the right field line. I got my garlic fries. Pretty good game, tied going into the 9^th, the Tigers got 4 runs and the Mariners could only get 2 back. We headed out of town afterwards and got back around 9.

Long Weekend Update

The long weekend it almost over. Here's a quick rundown of what I did.

Saturday: I got up did some chores around the house and then went to Keizer to do some work for well work. I spent about six hours driving and working. It lasted much longer than I thought. After I got back Bree and I hustled over to Jake's birthday party. Good times. We got to eat on some good grub, and enjoy some friendly company.

Sunday: Philipp and I headed over to Loren's for a BBQ and to play some poker. Unfortunately because of the weather the BBQ was off but we still got our burgers from the stove. Anyway, Jake, Chris, and Ben were there too. Jake finished first, I finished second and Philipp came in third. We spent the rest of the time playing Mario Kart on the Wii. Philipp and I left and went to Circuit City to pick up an external hard drive that was on sale. Of course they only had one. Philipp got it because he was the one that told me about the deal. Don't worry I reserved one and will get it soon, I hope. I came home and Bree and I caught up on some movies. She watched Yours Mine and Ours, then we both watched Walk the Line. I thought the performances where good, but it did not seem like a complete movie. It started out about his struggles and then turned into just his efforts to get June Carter.

Monday: Bree had to work, so I had most of the day to myself. Of course that means I spent hours in front of the computer getting Rob and mine new podcast online, the new Portland Men on Sports podcast online, editing the new episode of Portland Men on Sports, and doing some more editing for work. I was able to get out of the house and have lunch with Bree. Oh well I'll give a podcast update when everything is up and running.

First post and all

So this is first post of our new blog. I say new because I currently write a blog on my myspace account. But I'm trying to get Bree to be a bit more involved. She is keeping a pregnancy journal, perhaps she will post some stuff on here. I imagine that most of my posts will be normal everyday stuff I do. Anyway I'll update often.
