All my personal posts 2008-2016.

Dude, We Have Us a Competition

My son and I just got home from Gold’s Gym, and it 8:20PM.  I picked him up after school and we went to the Gym.

He’s eight, so he’s not working out, he plays with other children in Gold’s Kiddie Gym.

Anyway, we walk in the door at 8:11PM and Adam Lambert has just started singing.   Awesome performance.

Kris Allen followed him, and as my wife, son and I watched him perform, I couldn’t help but be blown away.

Blown away because he sang to win.

All season long, it’s been Adam this and Adam that.  And I agreed with it all.

But tonight, I gotta tell you, the underdog has come out punching.

Rock on.  Dinner’s ready.  Later dude!

Orlando Magic Were Magical

The Orlando Magic basketball team was magical last night, in Boston.

They played game seven against the defending NBA Champions, the Boston Celtics, in Boston.  A huge disadvantage for the Magic.

I have to admit that I no longer watch professional sports. 

However, I do love watching the Olympics, as well as championship games in any sport.  It’s when it’s all on the line that I get interested.

Anyway, here’s the this morning – Can You Believe It – a followup to last night’s post.

Make it a great Monday, a great week and a great May.  Because if you don’t, who will?  If not now, when?  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

Defending NBA Champs?

Defending NBA Champs, the Boston Celtics are currently behind the Orlando Magic by 19 points. 

When I wake up tomorrow morning, I wonder what the headline will read.

Then again, I may just stay up for a little while longer so I won’t have to wait.

Being from Orlando, and working for Disney World, it’s only natural that I’m a MAGIC fan!

Either the Magic will pull off an upset and advance to the semi finals, or the Celtics will pull off a major comeback and continue their bid to defend their NBA Championship.

Either way, the Celtics need some real Magic.  Good night.  jeff  🙂

What a GREAT Day!

Today was an awesome day.

  • Relatively pain-free run.   See Lane 8 for details on the story.
  • Great Homily at Church
  • Great connections with special people at Church
  • Swimming, Lunch & Nap with my son this afternoon
  • Cub Scout Awards Banquet & our son received his Wolf Cub Badge
  • My wife totally added a woman’s touch to the Banquet decorations/logistics
  • My son & I spoke with my Mom about the awards he received

Not all days have so many obvious blessings that can be recounted.  However, today was that kind of day.

They don’t come as often as any of us would like.

And yet, I’ll take them whenever they come, even if they’re few and far between.  Signing off at 9PM.  Carpe PM, jeff noel  🙂
