What great weather.  What a great day!  Woke up and rode down to Grays lake on my bicycle.  Tried to pop in at my Sister's house but she was out picking blueberries.  Can't blame her...  Anyone inside on such a day is daft.  Went to Whitmer park and hit some fly balls with Zach and Jen later, then walked up to Snookies for ice cream.  Next, dropped Jeremy with his Grandparents for the night.  He loves spending the night there because they spoil him and he knows it.  Zach wanted more baseball fun so we went to the diamond at Greenbelt park in Clive and hit some more.  Finally, Jason's deli for dinner and watched Rocky Balboa on FX.

Weather looks good for today too.  Wonder what we'll do...

I received an invite to Google Voice last night. I always like shiny
new tech toys, so I have been playing with it a bit. Click on the link below and the widget that shows up lets you call my voice mail and leave me a
message.

I don't think I'll tell everyone to use the new phone number just yet.

My employer, like many others, mandated a 1 week furlough this year.
So we decided to take a vacation to MN and relax for a week. The kids
stayed with their aunt and uncle for a couple nights, which was nice
for Jen and I. We found some nature/hiking areas around the twin
cities while sans kids.

 I wanted to get some boating time in, but alas my family unit is not
so interested in that sort of thing. Maybe next time.

 It's back to work tomorrow. I'm happy to have a job to return to,
that's for sure. There's lots to keep me busy these days.
