    Sunday’s race wasn’t the most exciting thing ever. The rookie Jorge lorenzo started on pole, with Pedrosa and Rossi qualifying 2nd and 3rd respectively. Those three pretty much controlled the pace of the race. Lorenzo and Rossi were in the lead for most of the race. By the 13th lap, Rossi was clearly having some…

    This weekend we had 2 awesome visits with Piper. It has been so exciting to see all of the progress that she is making. Yesterday we had her on a mat on the floor, playing with her. She has so much more energy than she did, even just a couple of weeks ago. She now…

    We had band practice last night. It was the first time that we have played together since Chris picked up his new guitar and amp. It was pretty cool. He got an old Fender strat from his brother. There is a pretty big difference in the way the songs sound, when replacing the acoustic with…

    Sometimes you just need to take a minute to be cheesy/sappy. For me, right now is that minute. I just want to reiterate what an amazing person Reagan is. We have had one of the craziest (good crazy, and otherwise) relationships ever, pretty much from the get go. When you take that and compound it…

    After 2 free practice sessions, Rossi and Pedrosa are pulling down the fastest times in Estoril. Stoner is barely in the top 10 fastest so far. It would be great if this Sunday ends up being a tight battle between the two. After the win in Spain, 2 weeks ago, Pedrosa now holds the lead,…

    Someday, I’ll build a time machine, go back to 1963ish and buy this house brand new in the Hollywood hills. Until then, there is always summer 2008 to get ramped up for. Not to get all depressing, but my friend at work was talking about this guy he heard on NPR, breaking down the remaining…

    I can tell it is time to go home, when I wake up and spend more tome on my work b-berry than I do worrying about what fun adventures we have instore today. Reagan said that this trip was the perfect length for her. For me, I could have left yesterday. I really do get…

    Today we have just kind of been lazy. The rainforest was awesome yesterday, but between being worn out from that and still being kind of sunburnt, we have just kind of been taking it easy today. I had to wear a long sleeve shirt and hat, to be safe. After we ate lunch we got…

    So, like a total tough guy, I refused to wear sunscreen yesterday. You can't really tell in the pic, but I got puhlenty of sun ok. I'm a bit on the lobster side. Reagan, of course did use sunscreen and looks amazing, as always. Today we are going to the rain forest. Reagan is picking…
