Where in the World is Mattdaddy?
Wow, it's been a while since I have written much. The gluten free post was mostly just to give my wife somewhere to point a bunch of people interested in getting their child fed properly at school.
So what's up with me?
Elbow - it's sore in a different place, so the doctor wants me to go do some physical therapy. All in all it's feeling better, but I have tightness in other places which causes pain in some cases.
Kids - Fae's parents bought Aidan a bass guitar and amp. I used to play way back when, so I'm showing him some stuff I Remember, but he's following a beginning book pretty well. Nice thing about 3 years of Baritone, he knows how to read music, and in bass clef
Gillian is leaving for camp today for the week. It's a completely gluten free camp called CampCeliac. She's very excited to be going back for her 3rd year, and she gets to move to the cabins by the lake instead of in the woods. I'm SO excited to be driving her to Rhode Island today. It's only 4.5 hours. ONE WAY!!! YAYAYAYAYAYYYYYY!
The things we do for our kids, right? I'll be coming back through White Plains, where I work, so I may stay with the guy who works for me. Probably because 9 hours of driving doesn't sound like fun, so if I can shave 1.5 hours off of it, and get to watch the Red Sox Yankee game? I"m all for it.
Vacation - what is that anyway? I'll head back up on Friday with Aidan to pick Gillian up, then drive to Lake George and stay at a campsite on Friday night. Saturday we'll head to the cabins at Silver Bay, a YMCA run place on Lake George where my parents are renting some cabins for the whole extended family. It looks like an amazing place with lots of activities (I'm doing yoga m-w-f and tai chi t-th) to keep everyone busy. Fae's going to be working with her Dad over the weekend on the new clothing line and going out on appointments mon and tue, and take the train to Albany on Wed where I'll pick her up and bring her to Lake George for the rest of the week. I haven't been waterskiing since I was in college so it'll be interesting to see if I remember enough to teach all the cousins.
Anyway, I hope this finds you and yours well. If it weren't for the vacation, I Think I would probably need a padded cell
Work is great, I"m just burnt. Need to plan more shorter vacations instead of waiting so long in between. Oh yeah...
Baseball - The Red Sox have been deemed to be the unluckiest team this year with respect to injuries. Kevin Youklis is out for the rest of the season and they signed Carlos Delgado to platoon at first with Mike Lowell. Yeah, it's bad.

Doesn’t it seem we look so forward to summer every year, and then we’re so busy we hardly notice it? Glad you’ve got some vacation time coming. I can sympathize with being busy at work and loving it, but being so busy you get fried. Enjoy your vacation. I’ve got a little one coming up later this week too and am so looking forward to it.
Gillian’s camp sounds so cool. It’s great there’s a camp like that so kids can surround themselves with other kids who get what it’s like to have to be so careful about what you eat.
Once Aidan gets the hang of that guitar, maybe you can record him and post it on the blog! Would love to hear!

I wondered what had happened to you.
Vacation for me was just a week at the beach and next month a long weekend in New England. I’m hungering for more time away.

Vacation. What is that? Where can I get one?
Don’t get me started on baseball. The Astros are killing me. And they traded my favorite player to NY. WTF?!

I can’t wait, I’m leaving Friday to pick up Gilli at camp and head to Lake George. Sooooo needed. Just burnt.
Rhonda – yeah, Lance sure seems to be doing well for me! He took out A-Rod in batting practice
Go SOX!
