I took my team to a cooking class yesterday after a morning strategic planning meeting. It was a ton of fun and quite delicious. It turns out that twenty people cooking together and a little wine can really position a team to accomplish great things.
The boys had a good football game today but ended up with a loss to the Chiefs. Dylan ran for two touchdowns and looked pretty good with some solid moves to avoid being taken down. He was actually eyeing the the defenders and making speed and direction adjustments to get away. Both boys were grabbing flags on defense really well and chasing down anyone from the other team that got out in the open field. It was fun to watch and I think they will get even better as the season goes on.
I got back from a meeting in San Francisco last night and am happily watching Dylan play Xbox and same with the electric train right now. We are starting to get the Halloween decorations out now and will spend some of the night getting ready for our favorite holiday. Too bad it's too hot for a fire but the days are getting shorter and the nights colder. Many logs will be burned soon...
Here's some photos from disney last week.

I'm staying at a nice place right down off the San Francisco bay, across the street from the Ferry building. My trip west was pretty quick this morning and I was pleasantly surprised to see Randy Moss back in purple when I switched on my phone and went to Facebook. The football season just got interesting again.
An exhausting but fun day at the other Disney park. Of course their are like 6 or 7 now but this one has been around the second longest amount of time. My knee is killing me but the martinis at Tommy Bahama are making things better. Back home in the morning.
Dylan is a little flustered by the Belly dancer Marrakesh. Sam just starred and asked me for one dollar bills.
My knee is singing but the three of us had a great time in the magic kingdom. Having a nice dinner at Tommy Bahama know with momma. Epcot tomorrow.
This is one of those roller coasters Grandpa did not like last time we were here. The boys dig it.
We hit the pool the minute we got here this morning, then a little lunch and a stroll thru the AARP exhibit hall. The boys learned about NASA, NASCAR and took a golf lesson. Off to downtown Disney in a bit for dinner.
The new $99 dollar version of the apple tv arrived today. My forth apple tv in all and a bit different from the others. It is easier to set up and manage but without the big hard drive. It does have netflix streaming which is nice and the interface is way better than the Xbox and wii interface to netflix. With all the movies to watch in my bedroom now, I may never sleep.
Yea, out to eat at King Street Blues with the boys.

I took the boys to the park yesterday in the rain to run some football drills. They did really well in Saturday during their first game with two touchdowns each. They both ran for one and Dylan threw a touchdown pass to Sam for the second. It's good that it was even. Sam also intercepted a ball and they were both running down the opposing players when they were on defense.
I was quite pleased with the whole thing. I got them out yesterday to work on skills and to run off energy on a fairly gloomy day.
Can't take pictures in the show but there is some crazy stuff going on in there. Haven't seen a cirque show since O at the Bellagio many years ago. Nicole, Jimmy T and Kathleen. Good times.
I'm at a two day strategy session for work today and tomorrow at National Harbor and because of the night time activity we are encouraged to stay overnight. It seems a little odd since I live just over this bridge in Alexandria but what hell. We are going to see a cirque du soleli show tonight, Ova.
