HBO

There was a time (when I lived with my parents) when I had HBO. Only thing I could remember watching was the late-night soft-core porn stuff (I was teenager, c'mon!).

Now, we don't have HBO but I end up getting on NetFlix a whole slew of HBO shows (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sopranos, Deadwood, Entourage). Strange.

Anyway, Donovan and I just finished the second season of Deadwood and I have got to say that may be the finest season of television ANYWHERE. I'm a huge 24 fan and I obsess on Lost, but Deadwood is just amazing. Fantastic characters. Great dialogue (Shakespear with the f-bomb). Fascinating plot. Please don't tell me what's happening with Season 3. I have to wait for the DVDs.

Tracy and I are now watching Season 2 of Entourage. This is a very funny show. Probably not up there with the BBC version of The Office, but I'd put it up there with the American one. Great characters and fun cameos.

Ebert, out.

Lame

I know I've been slacking (AGAIN).
Anyway, the house has been nuts because Tracy's taken on a HUGE grant job, so I've been pulling a lot of the parent duties over the last few weeks. And I really enjoy it. Shuttling the kids around and hanging out with them is nice (not easy, just nice).
Haven't been writing much, but I've been reading. My parents got me a good book, "Pursuit," that's really fun and I have the new Dean Koontz just waiting for me. Good problem to have.

So sorry

I've now been yelled at by a bunch of people to update this blog... I know I'm pathetic. Sorry.

Anyway, it's been pretty crazy around our place lately. Here's what we're up to:

Alex:
Play rehearsal -- Come see the young Olivier in "Dear Edwina" at the Hensel Phelps Theater Friday night, Saturday matinee or Saturday night.
Baseball -- Practice and games nearly all the time.
Swimming -- Lessons every morning.
Art class -- College For Kids classes!

Andy:
Baseball -- He's hitting the snot out of the ball and loving it!
Swimming -- Same as Alex
Art class -- Yup, same
Time with Dad -- Lots since Alex and Tracy have been at play practice almost every night.

Tracy:
Chauffer (sp?)
Working -- Part-time but she's almost done!
Weight -- Losing a bunch

Me:
Feet -- Still sore from Relay For Life last weekend
Book -- I have a book signing on Saturday from 2-3:30 p.m. at Barnes and Noble in Centerra. Please come by. I do get so lonely!
Radio -- Gonna be on KCOL Friday at 5 p.m. (you can listen online) and at 7:45 a.m. the Friday before Father's Day.
Work -- Crazy!
Baseball -- Tired of watching Rockies lose. Now just a fan of sons' teams. (Andy's team is undefeated so I guess my bad luck charm status is gone!)
Play -- Helped Big Andy get set together last weekend for the play.
Golf -- I really stink but I am really enjoying it. Guess it's genetic. Bizarre.

Guess that's it for now.
