From Space: Hurricane Bill Clips the East Coast

Hurricane Bill as it swept passed the east coast of the U.S. over the weekend. The hurricane was said to be responsible for two deaths — a young girl in Maine who was swept into the sea with a group of 20 others when a rogue wave knocked them from a ledge at Acadia National Park, and a man who washed ashore unconscious in New Smyrna Beach in Florida.

Company Newsletter!

This little article just came out in our Quarterly Newsletter that is shipped to all 74,000 employees at American Airlines. Since June 15th, 2009 I have already collected more than $7200 for UNICEF and the " Change for Good" program. Nice to see my effort was recognized.

Six Flags Day Trip.....






Despite it being 98 degrees and about 100% humidity, we had a great day at Six Flags. The water rides for sure helped cool us down! Connor was a great little sport and it was great to have someone who wanted to go on all those big rides with me! Hey and Connor even got to have a Photo Op with his best bud Scooby!!

Ready for Work!

Probably by the time the Airlines start hiring again, this Delta Uniform will actually fit!

Winthrop Beach



We stopped by Winthrop Beach just 5 mins from our house to see if Hurricane Bill had started making big waves....as you can see NOTHING! But provided us with a great Photo Op!

Fun day at the Science Museum!








Today at the Science Museum we saw everything from the dinosaurs to the black hole in the universe. So much to see, including a 3D movie about bugs on our bodies and the planetarium where Connor pretty much wrote the script. He know so much about our solar system. Fun day for sure!!

Murano no more........

With our upcoming lease expiring in November on our Murano, I went to the dealership to see what options there were for us. Wanting a lower payment and the same feeling of the murano, I think I did pretty good! Welcome to our new car for the next 3 years. Nissan Altima 2.5 S. It rides very well, very spacious, keyless entry and start up, sunroof, gets 400 miles on the tank of gas and is $150 cheaper a month. Its only been a couple hours and I miss the murano but there is nothing like that new car smell!!

Today I tried Bikram Hot Yoga......

My friend Michele told me she was going to take me to a Bikram Hot Yoga class and that I would love it! I was hoping she had forgot until she called today and told me she was picking me up at 2:30 pm. I was sick to my stomach with nerves! But I am a man of my word and I told her I would try it out. How did I do? Check out the next post!

I survived BIKRAM Yoga!!

So started pretty good until minute 50. By then the room had reached 115 degrees down from the usual 135. I felt my body getting a little woozie but didn't feel like I needed to sit down. Thinking the class was only 60 minutes long, I knew I could last 10 more minutes. Oh no, that was not the case, the class is 90 min's! Now we move down to the floor for some back poses. I did make it all the way through without passing out or throwing up. I did attempt all the poses. Just not as limber as my co-yogi Michele Mulligan. Will I try it again?......probably! Will my yoga sister be proud of me....heck ya!!
