Plan B

As you're more than likely aware, I've safely returned from my trip. As for the trip... Good, bad, I don't really know. I do however know that I'm definitely glad to be back.

Just returned to my house from work and running a few errands and realized I hadn't posted for a little while; Now I've changed that.

Yesterday after work I rode my bike (yes I finally got my motorcycle down here, and I couldn't be happier about it) to King Farm up in Rockville, where I used to live. I had heard that the people I played soccer with last year had started playing again on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Needless to say, I was eager to get out there and do my thing with my ol' footballing pals. After waiting around for a while, only 2 other people showed up, and none of us had a ball. So if the weather cooperates tomorrow, which it doesn't look like it will, I'll try again.

Today I was hoping to get out and play some tennis or basketball or something, but ran into a few hiccups there as well. My tennis competition is working late and I just realized I don't have my basketball. I could drive up to King Farm, where I know they have decent pickup games everyday, but traffic was bad going north on 270 on my way home from work, and don't really feel like messing with it. Bummer. So instead of running around outside playing games and all, I've opted for a different route. I'm sitting on my sofa, eating 5 day old pizza and cheese sticks, watching tv and surfing the web. Oh how the pendulum has swung.

Oh well, ya win some, ya lose some. Maybe I'll get motivated a little later and go for a run or something. We'll see. I guess you need to bum it every now and again right? I just usually try to reserve my bumming for Sundays, except obviously when fun-in-the-Sundays are taking place.

Now that I've posted a worthless blog, I'll try to redeem myself here in the next few days. You know, do something stupid and blog about it, or at least provide something better than this pathetic post.

Until then, you know where to reach me. And if you don't, well, figure it out.

Ooo, almost forgot. Happy BDay tomorrow Pops. I'll be sure to call. Should have wished you it when I was up there on Saturday. My most sincere apologies, sir.

PS. As brought up by Collin, he and I suffered a devastating blow to our egos today in the form of a loss in the first event in the office olympics. The water balloon toss was our event to lose, and we did just that.

I also have been devastated by our defeat in the office Olympics water balloon toss and am sitting on my couch dreaming about what could have been...

I am ashamed. I can't believe I dropped it. I bet we'd win the next 9 water balloon tosses in a row if it was a ten game series. The winning teams form was atrocious.

So, your pop's b-day is tomorrow? I'll have to stop by his office to sing the birthday song.
