You Know My Name

Please allow me to introduce myself...

Wow, long time no blog. Things have been beyond crazy the last few days. We've begun a new project at home - building a new walk-in-closet system in the master bedroom. It's been long overdue - we sold our bedroom furniture last summer and have been living out of empty boxes since, which is fine if it wasn't for the fact that our beautiful cardboard unmentionable holders are starting to fall apart. So, since Sunday any free time has been spent building a closet system from IKEA. It will be SOOOO nice when it's done.

We've been keeping up on our training. Tonight was a swim training and Coach Ingrid broke things back down to basics as most of us beginners were feeling a little overwhelmed. The changes she made tonight were great - we're starting to focus more on balance in the water and how to generate the power you need to move forward in the water. Pretty cool stuff!

I'm going to start doing a couple songs of the week, one old and one new. Perhaps you will have heard these songs before but I think they're worth checking out. The new song this week is from The Fratellis and is called "Flathead". They're a band from Glasgow, Scotland, and their sound is really cool and different. For the old song this week let's go with "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" by the Beatles. This song is found on the Past Masters, Vol 2 cd and has a very "lounge" vibe to it, which makes it pretty hilarious. Definitely worth digging out.

March is one of the best sports months of the year. Not only is excitement building with spring training and onset of warmer weather, but it's time for MARCH MADNESS!!! Filling out the brackets as part of a pool is a ton of fun - that is until the games start and you realize that you picked the wrong upsets. But watching college basketball during the tournament is way fun. GO BUCKS!!!

I'm working on something for the site that I hope to have completed by the end of the month. Curious what it is? I'll give you a clue - it's long and numbery in nature.

Name that tune: "The movement you need is on your shoulder"...

So the Police are coming to town. Tickets went on sale this past Monday but we weren't able to get any. Well, we could have if we wanted to shell out $225 a ticket. No thanks! I'm hard pressed to find anyone that I'd be willing to pay $200 to go see. Even the on and only Bruce I wouldn't pay that much for.


Well, that's it for tonight. We'll try to keep it less than a week between posts from now on...
