Summer Time

So it seems Spring has passed us by, this week has been stinking hot. Fortunately it is set to cool back down a little over the weekend but hopefully there is no rain interfering with cricket! :-)

After getting back from Virginia we had our first outdoor cricket practice. It was nice to see everyone again and to get right back into the important tasks of putting shit on team mates and goofing off. Batted OK, bowled well at first then lost concentration a little.

Have been back playing cash games online on Bodog and have done well this week. Thanks to several knuckleheads last night had one of my best nights ever. Enjoying playing 6 handed NL cash games. The time passes quickly and you can avoid many of the delays involved in a full ring game. However, folding a lot leads to not having to really concentrate full time on the game either.

Am also getting inspired to buy an ipad for Mindy. I think that this will be perfect for her to access the internet and email quickly and I know Naomi and Fiona will love it as well. In fact, I don't expect to see them again once this device hits the house! I read a review that described the ipad as "i-crack" for young kids and knowing their fascination with such things, this will be proven correct. One of their current games is to use our mobile phones to type on the "notepad"...so when they get the chance to use an app on the touch screen, they will go crazy.

Angus is rolling over now and getting huge. Mindy put him in a 9 month outfit that was a perfect fit for him (at 3 1/2 months). We think he might be in the early stages of teething. He is drooling all over the place and seems to be more miserable of late. Of course, he could just drool a lot and enjoys whining. He is a perfectly content baby as long as you are holding him AND walking around, which is nice...except he weighs a ton! We need to put more photos on Facebook and hope to do so this weekend.

We have another busy weekend coming up. Naomi's pet club where she brings in her pet hamster to show everyone. Fiona's first spring time soccer game. The Rainbow Butterflies are back! Pitch work and cricket practice...and this is just Saturday!

Watched an amazing show the other night - "Breakout" - a one hour series that details through interviews and reenactments a different prison break each week. Amazingly tense and you weirdly find yourself hoping for them to escape, which makes no sense as these are normally hardened criminals and you KNOW they get out in any case. Certainly comes highly recommended. Also, have re-watched a couple of Steve Martin classics lately, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and LA Story, the latter is one of my personal faves! Both held up well after a long time since the last viewing.
