Miscellany...
The Luce show at Sweetwater Saloon was great fun! Of course i'm biased, i'm a huge fan... i'll always like their shows. Although there were some problems with the vocals microphones in the beginning, I didn't care much. Have to say, it was fun being right at front, almost dancing with Tom himself. They have a show 3/30 at Cafe du Nord. Thank God they have a show in the city! I won't have to drive to Redwood City for the 3/09 show. That might be considered too stalker-ish.
Little R is taking guitar lessons from Dylan Brock! I try not to be too star struck, play it cool. Like i'm not fazed. Of course deep inside, i'm like... god you guys are awesome! Little R likes learning guitar, wants to drop the clarinet lessons. But no way... The clarinet he's learning for free at school... and the aunties in Oregon went through a lot of trouble getting his instrument to him. So, clarinet and guitar til end of school year. We'll negotiate again after that.
Number 3 is truly the athlete. But she hates the thought of doing anything with a ball. On the way to the games, "I don't wanna go! I don't wanna play!" Everytime. But as soon as she gets there, she doesn't even turn to say goodbye. She's out of the car, off and running. Her volleyball coach says she's got some talent. If only I can get her to be more enthusiastic, or at least complain less. Not sure what the whining is all about. She obviously enjoys sports, and is competitive and good at it.
Speaking of sports... little R's Friday night basketball team remains undefeated. And his game is improving. Go Douglass Hawks!!
Lost some weight... on purpose! It's all true, you get to be a certain age, and your body starts doing things it didn't do before. My plan is simple... minimum of 30 min of exercise everyday... walking, running, taking dance class, going to gym, whatever! 5 a day (fruits and veggies... whatever form). More water. Less carbs... that one nearly killed me (though i'm surviving). And, no eating after 8pm. Surprisingly, i'm still in a good mood. Lost a few pounds even. I'm hopeful. Goal was to lose 15 pounds (i really gained some weight this last year) and have more energy (i've been extremely lethargic last few months). So far, lost 5 already, and the energy level is improving. Lower backache is gone too. Woohoo! Soon, my pants will fit again. Yes!!!
