Congrats Bridgett & Gordon!

Bridgett and Gordon (Sphincter Blinker) welcomed their little baby, Ronan, last night at 6:36pm.
He is 7 pounds and 14 ounces.

Pandora

Am I the last person to discover Pandora?! It's a new application on my phone that I downloaded. I've been showing some co-workers and they all say they've known about it for ages! What the?

Guess I'm just slow...

Reunited!

An old high school buddy of mine (who I haven't been able to find on Classmates.com or Reunion.com, etc.) found me on LinkedIn! I thought she was still living up in Chicago, but she is back in Austin now. We are meeting for drinks next Tuesday after work. I haven't seen her in 8 years! Coolio.

Let's go National League! We are due a win this year. And my favorite player from the Astros is starting. Let's go Lance!

Update: NL is up 2-0 in the 6th! And my boy Berkman got an RBI. Woot woot!

Update #2: Frikken Boston. It's now a tie game at 9:56pm.

Update #3: Way to go Tejada! (He is with the 'Stros, brownie) NL up by 1 now.

Seriously? Bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th? Really??
OMG OMG OMG! Tejada ROCKS!!! And we're going to the 11th....

ARRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! Now the NL just stranded 3 runners.

Ok, it's 12:12am, the middle of the 14th inning, and I ate dinner so long ago that I'm hungry again!

FUUUUUUUUU*K! 12:37am and the game just ended in 15 innings. Freakin American League won again.

Congrats Brownie!!!

I just woke up and checked the stats. Brownie finished the Hardrock 100 at 00:55 this morning! Woot woot!

You are one bad ass mother fucker.

Ok, back to sleep for me. It's 4am.

The home stretch

Wanker boy checked in to the last aid station (mile 91.3) at 8:11pm Colorado time. He is on the home stretch now. Keep up the good work!!

Let the pain begin....

So it's already 3 hours and 15 minutes into the Hardrock 100. What have I done today? Woke up, showered, ate my migas once I got to work, played on the internet and actually did a little bit of work....all while Wanker Boy and 140 other hardcore ultra athletes have been running for over 3 hours.

You can check live stats here. If you don't know Brownie's nerd name, search for bib 170.

Good luck out there! Oh...I noticed Joe is running as well. He is bib 156.

What a weekend!!!

My sweet Alex came to visit me this weekend, but sadly, left last night. We had such a blast hanging out together. We went drinking late Friday night, did the Bubba Hash Pool Party on Saturday, SMB's King Ranch Chicken casserole taste test Sat night, Club Med Austin Hash on Sunday, and South Congress shopping on Monday. Haven't been home to load my pics yet. Not too many at that since we were in the pool most of the time...even circle was held in the pool!

I left the airport at 6:30pm yesterday and raced up to Round Rock to hit the Express game. Elvis scored some free tickets to the game...in one of the suites. That meant free beer and food all night! THEN, the night got even better. We went to the bar that is for suite members only and drank with this guy. Super cool, nice, funny guy. After the big bar closed, Jay (the cool President) took us all over to the Executive suite to continue drinking from his keg. After a while folks were dropping out due to work. Did that stop me? Hells no!

THEN, only 4 of us remained...me, 2 guys from Plucker's and an Express employee who has keys to every lock in the stadium. One of the Plucker's guys (Matt) wanted to check out the dug out, so down we went. We walked all around the field (on the dirt only, unfortunately. had to stay off the grass) and pretended we were leaping to catch a fly ball and crashed into the padded wall. I sooooo wish I had my camera with me. Only had my phone, which has no flash. Bummer.

Anyways, checked out the bullpen and some behind the scenes room. Then we came upon the hot tub out by right field. Skinny dipping time! Too bad that cute Bud guy had a 6:30am meeting and left before we got the tour of the stadium... Finally, about 2:30am we decided we should all head home. My receipt from Taco Cabana says 2:50am and my last text message was sent at 3:24am, so I'm guessing I finally passed out around 3:30am. Damn, is it 5 o'clock yet?!

p.s. Yahoo mail isn't working right now for me, so no phone pics for ya right now.
p.p.s. I'm ready to visit Colorado now. Love you Alex!!!
