Nothing new to report about lately. I did go to this awesome dinner last week that was put on my by main site sponsor for Eat In OC, Foodbuzz. They took a group of us featured publishers out to Blanca in Newport Beach. Free booze and expensive food, that’s how I roll!
Coming up this weekend is the big International Street Fair in Orange, can’t wait, this will be our 4th year straight going!
Other then that I started playing racquetball again. I’m in a league at the guy, and I’m having fun. I’m not doing that well but I’m getting good excersise.
Talking about doing well, I’m batting .739 in softball, 4th best in the league. Hopign to keep that up and help us win more games (3-3-1).
So last night after Kelly got home from work we headed to the gym and played more racquetball. We played just over an hour, she’s still learning but she’s improving. When we were first got there my friend Paul and I talked for a bit and set up to play racquetball this morning. So I went to the gym again this morning and played more RB with Paul. We played for a good 50 minutes again. I’m starting to get my wind back so that’s good, he gave me a good work out but when it was all said and done I was the winner, but he’s also still learning. More of his racquetball experience is playing some girls at the gym and none of them really play. But I don’t mind helping people learn to play, I’ve done it a lot in the past and it’s one of the things that helps the sport along. So now I’m exhausted! Rest of the day I’m just going to relax and do some laundry before heading over to the Dog Grooming shop and helping Kelly clean up and close. Tonight we are going over to Sean’s for some brats and then we are all heading over to Oktoberfest over at Old World Village in Huntington Beach. Then tomorrow Kelly mentioned something about going to the Orange County Auto Show, so we’ll probably end up there for a couple hours.
So, on Tuesday Kelly and I got a gym membership to LA Fitness. I’ve had memberships with LA Fitness twice in the past but due to life getting busy I had let my last membership expire (this was a couple months before meeting Kelly). Well we got our membership and we are going to push each other to make sure we go 3-4 times a week. The reason I keep coming back to LA Fitness is that they are one of the only gyms that still cater to racquetball, and those of you that have known me long enough know that it’s one of my favorite sports to play. So last night Kelly and I went to the gym next to the Block of Orange and we worked on teaching her how to play racquetball. She has never played racquetball ever but she has some experience with playing tennis. I was very impressed at how well she did for never playing before, she did a very good job tracking the ball and hitting it to the wall, something that I find people new to the sport have difficulty with. I’ve let people new to the sport play with me on numerous occasions so I knew what to expect. She has always said she isn’t really athletic but she has real good coordination, it’s probably from those years of cheerleading in high school!
