Some Odds and Ends...

Hey blog readers...long time no blog. I just wanted to start with an odd sighting that I had today. So my beautiful bride, Jenny is afflicted with Migraines(I know, I know...I feel bad for her too). Well she regularly refills her Imitrex prescription, and I am tasked with picking this up(a small task for happiness at home). I was at Walgreens waiting for the prescription to be filled, and I was wandering the aisles. I noticed on a side cap an odd shaped bag. I looked at it a bit closer and realized that the label on the bag read..."Bag-o-Baby". Holy shit...(pardon my french). Really, Bag-o-Baby...like we don't have a twisted enough world to exist in, they are now bagging babies. Well, I know what your thinking..."yo dummy, that has to be something else..." Sure enough after I built up enough courage to touch a bag labeled "bag-o-baby" it came clear what was in the package. It was baby socks... That means a group of product specialist sat around and were spit balling label ideas and somebody or a group of somebodies came up with Bag-o-Babies. Strange.


So previously I have teased that I would review our weekend in Indy. Well here it is...well on Nov. 14th we packed up and headed south to the "Circle City". We celebrated our 10 yr. wedding anniversary and more importantly caught up with some friends. Friday night we had dinner with Athena, Sister(her sister, our friend) and Boy Wonder (Sister's fiance'). We had a delightful meal and had a great opportunity to catch up. Funny the older I get the more I want to keep in touch with people. I am not sure if it is a natural life cycle...but I am really enjoying catching up with old friends...so here are some pictures from dinner:

After spending a fun night in the hotel we spent Saturday at the Children's Museum in Indy. It was a really cool trip. The center piece of the museum right now is giant glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly. Chihuly is a world renowned glass artist. He is famous for a lot of things, but what comes to my mind, to me, is his $1.9 million sculpture in the Belagio Hotel and Casino's lobby. But that's another blog. Well we met one of Jenny's friends from school(mine too). B., B's wife and Brax(their 4 y/o son). It was a great day, we did hands on stuff and the boys got to meet "The Hulk". Here are some pictures...

So on Saturday night the 3 of us enjoyed dinner out and then another fun night in the hotel. That was pretty much our trip to Indy. It was great time...and we hope to see all of our friends very soon.

Well since then...we have pretty much just lived the typical family life you would expect...
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving...we will be sharing the time with both of our families. I just wanted to take this chance to thank both of our families for providing for us when we were younger, but further providing for us through moral support now. We look forward to having another feast this Thanksgiving with you all.
I am also looking forward to seeing friends and family again this weekend. Jenny's cousin Jeff and his wife Donna are in town and we hope to catch up to them. Also Sat. we are planning a meeting with Athena and Sister...so a great weekend is ahead.
So you all have a Happy Thanksgiving...and don't forget,
Be Kind, Be Safe...
Shalom my Peeps.
