Yesterday after work Ryan and I went to Macungie Memorial Park to throw the disk (nee frisbee) around. Ryan is good at throwing - he's a 'handler' for Michigan's club ultimate team, MagnUM - and has been sharing some wisdom, so I'm adding some new throws and picking up distance and accuracy on the ones I already have. The three of us have been throwing in the evenings a bit and Jenelle and I have benefitted quite a little bit from the expert coaching.
Later in the evening we headed out on a date... across the street to Armetta's for a stromboli that was also partly my lunch and a canoli. Then we headed to Emmaus to return Wallace & Gromit's Curse of the Were-Rabbit, but on the way back there was a detour to the top of the big hill to watch a dazzling, intense, valley-illuminating display of lightning that lit up the night sky every 20 seconds or so for nearly half an hour.
Work today, sandwiched around the remains of a calzone, was very productive in the sense that we convinced management to fund our technology proposals and get behind a few other initiatives. It was the dash between offices, "yes I've got those figures," send that email, make the tough call MBA day that I've been waiting for. This evening we're baking and packing and getting set to jet away to Myrtle Beach, SC. I might explain more later if I can figure this weekend out.
