Successful Surgery

Turns out the hernia was a little worse than expected but won't cause any additional recovery time. Just had a little more repair than expected. He's doing fine and resting at home. No throwing things or golfing for a month.

Another Win

The black bears took the Holy Cross tournament with 5 straight wins.

Wet Dog

Buddy got a walk at the tail end of our rain storm today. 5 miles and he's still bouncing around.

Spring Tradition

Pre dawn run and with some crowd free blossom viewing.

Cherry Blossom Run

Nicole and her friends try to get down to the tidal basin every year around this year for an early morning run. The pictures are always nice and I get to enjoy them without the afternoon crowds.

Family Portrait

Fun time doing brunch at Majestic, then a visit to Murphy's in old town for a quick pre St. Patrick's day beer.

Mom and her boys

Celebrating our Irishness.

DC Half Marathon

Nicole got up before dawn to run the Washington half marathon. Beautiful day for a 13 mile run.

New Zealand Hammer

Sam's teammate Antz was competing to make the New Zealand Olympic team back home in Auckland yesterday. It was on tv at 1am Eastern time this morning and he took first. Another step to the Paris games.

Why Not?

I was home, doing some work and watching the ACC basketball tournament on Friday and suddenly realized it was being played 8 miles away at the capital one center in DC. I instantly jumped on Ticketmaster and bought some nosebleed seats for Dylan and for the night session. It was a classic upset by NC State over Duke. Very fun game and the seats were much better than the couch. Great to have some quality time with Dylan before he goes back to Maine on Sunday as well.

Black Bears

Last weeks action in Rhode Island.

7’s Rugby

The Black Bears beat all comers for the Bryant University invitational championship. Dylan started and played well in all 4 games. Nicole and I enjoyed the games on tv from the comfort out our home.

DJ Dylan

I took Bumpy out for a spin as I usually do once a week. Bumpy is the boys car and doesn't get much exercise when the boys are away at school so i just drive it around for a while. Today, Bumpy and I were able to listen to Dylan's new radio show during the drive. We both approve.
