Ride with Cassie

What a day today! It started at 4:30 AM with a ride to work to open up the building and make sure the shapes team came in. At about 5:30 AM, it was back to the house. I tried to get motivated to ride but fell asleep and didn't wake up till Cassie dumped some clothes on my bed at 9. I finally got up and got the bikes ready. We hit the hills today and did some mountain biking. It was fun but more difficult than I had thought. She had to push the bike a little bit but it was fun. Just me and her out there riding in the shrubs and overgrowth. Then it was off to buy food for the week and get a piece of pizza for lunch. We got home and played a bit of Madden. I barely beat Cassie. I know I am in trouble when my daughter gives me a go on a video game. Football at that!!. Anyway, we watched a bit of TV and then it was off to a double header softball game. We lost the first one 8-7 but beat up the other team in the second, 18-3. It was stopped in the bottom of the fifth inning with one out. Mercy rule. My shoulder is a bit sore but it felt good throwing. I whipped one from the fence to second with only minor pain. After getting home, Cassie and I made some Caesar salad with some mango and shrimp pasta. We topped it off with a little pudding. Now it is just time to relax. I got to say, today was a good day. It could have been better but I know Christine is doing the right thing.

I got lost in a couple World Cup games today as well. I watched the second and third games today. I found a new way to watch soccer. Record the games and then watch them in fast forward. During the time the ball is not in the mid-field, I play the game in order to catch all of the more exciting parts. It was fun to watch. It really is a beautiful game. Let's hope the U.S. plays well on Monday. I want to see the game. Maybe I'll camp out in the office to watch it on my laptop. Then again, I can just Tivo it and watch it later. Let's go U.S.A.

Time to go to bed...
