I wish i could run…
I’m sitting in my home office trying to get some work done, and I just noticed a group of people come running by. Out of my second window, I can see that they are part of the Navy Seal Team training team. They are doing sit ups on the hill, then they all roll over and hold a push up position for awhile. The wife did the training team for awhile, and I always thought that she was nuts for doing some of the stuff that they did. I went to one of their bring a friend days, but I ended blowing out my knee soon after.
Right now, all I’m wondering is “don’t these people have jobs to get too? Its 10:20 in the morning!!”
They’ve distracted me for a good ten minutes… and I realize it’s because I wish I could be out there running around. No such luck, tho. It’s another round of doctors and physical therapy for me. Hopefully this time, it will get me back where I was, because more than anything, I miss running after the boys playing a silly game of tag or ninja or anyone of the goofy games that boys come up with.

Before I forget…
Fifteen years ago… sometime in September, the future wife and I started dating. We spent a good couple of hours reminiscing about it the other night. Trying to hash out how it happened, when it happened, and which other potential loves might have stopped it from happening. Even though I have an awful memory, I can still remember the first time I saw her. I immediately had a crush on her… and it wasn’t long before I loved her. I know… it’s cheesy, mushy even; but I constantly have to remind myself of what a good woman she is, how much we have been through and that is has been no cake walk. I always jokingly tell her that she couldn’t help herself about choosing me… I was so smooth and cool that there was no way she could pass me up. The truth lies more in that I would have been crushed if she had not chosen me to be with her, and I certainly wouldn’t be the man I am today.

Not too old to rock…
I went to a concert last night. I must admit that I felt a little out of place when Flyleaf was playing, but was instantly surrounded by my generation when Collective Soul came on. I immediatly felt much, much better.
BTW… I’m only 33

I love and hate it how much he has grown…
One more week and I’ll be home…
I was reading Hill and Heights and I came across their little blurb about Cafe Cuba (via Style Weekly) opening up in Stratford Hills so we immediately packed everyone up and headed cross’ the river. I am deliriously happy that I came across that, because not only are the owners (Rene and Adis) some of the nicest people, but the food is as authentic as it comes.
It took me away to my days back in Miami… popping in to little cuban shops, having a media noche, a cafe con leche and some flan for dessert. It had been awhile since I have had an authentic cuban meal like that, and if you are into that sort of thing, then head over and say hi to them… I’m sure you’ll love it.
