Yo Fuzz! Where you been at??
'
Well, I'll tell you:
I've been around. I went for a nice 1.5 hr bike ride last week and twice jogged around the block (longer than you think)
also, my birthday was a week and a half ago. My brother and his wife came to town as well as my sister and boyfriend in law.
My better half had set up a surprise bowling party for me. I knew she had something planned, but I never thought she'd patronize the bowling arts. I think everyone had a great time.
The next day we sat around for hours watching the NFL draft. I'm pretty happy with the Jets picks. We went to Annapolis for dinner. I'had some seafood pasta thingy that was pretty good.
Last weekend we got together with our Romanian couple friends for dinner at Benihana. I believe we all had a good time there.
I also got a chance to prune the trees in the back so that I can walk under the branches and I got to the shrub on the side of the house too. I should post more about the goings on outside of our house. Maybe someone out there can advise me on what's going on out there.
We also all had a good time at our friend Megan's birthday happy hour yesterday too. Seems like I jam-packed of good times.
I'm excited about this weekend. My early 20's best friend Jen is getting married on Friday in Bethlehem, PA. I haven't seen her or my other buddy Mike in years.
Saturday we're going to the Yankees-A's game with my folks and brother and sisterinlaw. I haven't been to the stadium in years either. Afterwards, we're headed up to Ossining to see my 100 year old grandmother. I feel bad that I don't get to see her so much.
Then on Sunday we're headed back into PA to see my motherinlaw. Sometime we're going to do some laundry and maybe mow the lawn.
I guess I should tell my boss that I'm not going to be there on Friday, eh?

People are always wondering how life is different after you get married. Well, for me it wasn't that big of a change. We had lived together for 3 years so that wasn't a big adjustment for us. I think the hardest thing to do was remember that she is now "my wife" and no longer "my girlfriend" or "my fiancee".
As far as I can tell, the only way that I've changed is that since I got married I seem to have lost a portion of my fashion sense.
I used to be able to figure out what went with what and dressed with some flash. It's how I bagged my wife (so she says) Now I can't even figure out what goes with black slacks.
On the plus side, I don't care as much. I'm not trying to impress anyone at work and I come right home and change into exercizing clothes.
Maybe this downturn coincides with my increase in Old Navy purchases....
