attempting to find things to do at work, I can't believe I am up to date and I have already asked people for extra work. I know it is highly unlikely to last longer than an hour or so but it is a very strange feeling!!!
Spent the weekend shooting two 72 number, 5 hour each day dance recitals for my daughter's studio. I worked freelance for the production group who got the gig. I was going anyway, figured I might as well get paid for it. They hired a few still guys and one of them ended up usig my D200 and 70-200/2.8 VR.. Kind of hard to run a closeup cam, direct the other shooters and shoot stills at the same time. Gonna try and get some sleep tonight. Stayed up late after Deckcadet's graduation last night editing the end of year DVD for the department.
Trying to get over a summer cold. At least my allergies have simmered down, and my eyes aren't watering. Still feeling a little light-headed, but my sneezing has stopped.

Kenpo or Kempo, is a Japanese martial art that combines Karate, Jujitse, Chinese Kung Fu and some Aikijujitsu. It is both linear and circular, combining kicks, punches, throws and some grappling. The Okinawan form even includes an 11 weapon component into the system.
Just starting summer reading with my soon to be sixth grader. She pulled all straight A's in her first year of middle school and all classes were honors level. Not too shabby. She and I are going to try and put 10 - 15 miles on our bikes tomorrow. I've got to lose about 30 pounds to keep my daughter, wife and female doctor/friend of my wife off my back. I get up to 230 and half the women in my world are ready to strangle me. Going to check SCUBA gear tomorrow since we are teaching a class on Monday in my pool and then heading to Biscayne National Park for Tueaday and Wednesday.
Sitting here at 6:59am yawning. Thinking I should go back to bed to get some more rest but it's nice to be at the computer without the babies in front of me, climbing all over my desk lol
Going to bed, hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight without problems. Have a young lady adn her dad coming over to learn how to SCUBA tomorrow. My first class as a newly minted instructor. Been teaching for awhile with my friend, first time official on my own..
I'm eating a juicy red d'anjou pear at my desk at work. I recently discovered that I like them better than apples because they're so juicy and the peal is very soft. Pears are underrated.

When I'm finished, I get to fold my brothers laundry. His washer will be delivered next week. Until then, he shows up here every other week. He says I can just throw it in a bag and he'll pick it up, but that bag of unfolded laundry would drive me crazy.
Dropping my 11.5 year old off at Jazz intensive dance camp and then coming home to trim more shrubbery. Have to get it all off the house and the boat. Actually have to sell the boat, so its kind of depressing. Also lining up another SCUBA class to teach next week.
