Greeting from the middle of Lake George - literally. My first blog from the water. It's 6:30 pm and no one else is out here and it's as peaceful as you can imagine except for the incessant yabbering from my daughter. Our other major activity today was rollerskating but alas that is a story for another day. Tomorrow we head to NJ for a few days and then I say goodbye and head to Chicago. Life is good.
Pretty solid day today after pretty much non-stop rain yesterday. Activities included a family run early in the am (the kids did two miles in preparation for their first 5k). Afterwards we swam, we ate brats, we went out for ice cream and we mini golfed. And in between I did a few conference calls and a million emails. He work stuff aside it was pretty much an ideal vacation day. Tonight I hope to meet up with my boss who's staying one mile from our place.
Well, he made it. Four weeks later the Little Boy is back home from camp. It was pretty cute; he and his sister ran to one reminiscent of the beach scene of Ten ( anyone remember that movie?). He said he had a great time and though we've only been together for a few short hours, it seems as if he's grown up a bit. I missed him dearly but I am obviously glad that he had a great time. And I am equally glad he's back home. We are now at Lake George for a few days before headed to NJ. I'll send pictures tomorrow from the sailboat and other
When in Rome do as the Romans. And when in New England in the summer, eat lobster. And clams. And corn. And a baked potato.
I flew across the country today to pick up the Little Boy at camp. He doesn't know I'm coming out to get him so tomorrow should be cool. I'll try to take a video.
After we pick him up we are headed to Lake George for a few days and then New Jersey. I'll be sure to send pictures from the road.
Took this picture usig a very cool new iPhone application that enables one to take panoramic pictures. Pretty cool.
So, I will confess that I was a bit nervous for this race. The problem wasn't the water per se; I'm a fairly competent open water swimmer.
Post Alcatraz (more on that later) we headed to the beach where the Little Girl worked on her surfing skills. Though she was born in Chicago, I think it's fair to say that this kid is a Californian through and through.
Swim season cameto a conclusion today with Championships. I've never seen so many kids on one confined space in my life. The Little Girl had a great day, posting a vest place in freestyle and a best time and FIRST place finish in fly. I was pretty astonished by her fly - she took two seco ds off her best time. Alas it wasn't her best day on backstroke. She had a great start but didn't finish great. She said something about being worried about banging her head on the wall. Anyway, a great conclusion to a great season.
I'm in LA today and the Kogi's truck was parked across the street from our office. For all of you unfamiliar with Kogi's, it's all the rage here in Tinseltown. They serve Korean-infused Mexican food that is absolutely out of this world. Because it was my second lunch I only ordered two short rim tacos (with kimchi). The only way to know the location and timing of the truck(s) is to follow them via Twitter. This adds to the mystique. Regardless, the food is absolutely delicious - and I'm not much of a foodie (though I am very partial to Korean).
