I had a nice and relaxing weekend. The weather was real crappy which was incentive for me to go out and do some of my Christmas shopping. Got the wife done as well as the kids in the family. Still have a few friends to shop for and my parents. I think I'm getting them a new television.... theirs is ancient and it's time they had a flat panel.
Yesterday morning a gigantic tree fell on to my in-laws house. It was about 70 foot tall. Thankfully, believe it or not, damage was minimal considering it all. I mean, I'm sure there is tens of thousands of dollars of damage.... but it could have been much worse.
The funny thing is, about 2-3 years ago, an even bigger tree fell onto my parents home, doing something like 50k worth of damage.
I've now learned my lesson. When I build my next home (or buy), make sure there are no giant trees in falling distance!
Here's something you may not know about me. I own a video game console, lol. Xbox 360. I NEVER play it, and never is an understatement. But while I was out doing some shopping, I saw this new game that has been advertised on television quite a bit called Rock Band. It allows you to play the guitar, drums, and/or sing.
Let me tell you, it's the best party game ever. I had some people over on Saturday evening and get a few beers in you and it's a blast. It's like karaoke on steroids, lol.
Oh yea, and my Eagles finally got a win. A big one too.....
I'm feeling mentally and physically good.... body and mind is in a good place. I've been emphasizing flexibility work and it's doing wonders in terms of my mobility and form.
