Lot's of stuff

Well, we are still recovering from our 2 and 1/2 weeks of off and on vacation. We had my sister one week, then my parents came for a few days, then we went to Vegas for a few days. Here is the recap for the past week.

1)Jojo: Joleen had some stomach tightness that we thought was nothing but it turns out it may have been contractions. So, doc has put her on light duty (which means she gets more vacation because she can't stand up all day at work!) and she has just been hanging out at home trying to take it easy. She has another appointment in the morning so we will see what they have to say then.

2) Vegas: Jojo, Kristi, Kyle, Karen, and I flew up to Vegas on Friday and got back on Sunday. We had a ton of fun. We saw two excellent shows in Blue Man Group (pretty dang funny and great music) and Mystere (hot ballet dancers and awesome acrobats -- overall a pretty impressive performance). Plus I didn't become a gambling addict and I may have finally kicked my soda habit. Great weekend.

3) Back to work: so it started out pretty well. Monday was very busy and I had a tech sick but it was one of the most smooth days I have worked in a long time. Tuesday was slow, but the real fun happened after I left. I guess about 10 minutes after I left for the day, a guy came in and held up the pharmacy for Oxycontin and Xanax. The guy was getting away but two of our managers tackled the guy just outside the store and held him down until the cops got there (about 3 minutes). The guy admitted to hitting 6 Walgreens and CVS's over the past few months so that's great news. The whole tackling an armed robbery suspect isn't exactly kosher with coorporate policy so hopefully they are okay with it. High five to my store manager and assistant manager though for bringing the pain. Even though I wasn't involved at all, the whole situation does scare me a bit and makes me think I should get out of the retail setting when I get a chance. I have a year left on my contract. Let the countdown begin????

Finally, a note about a few of my teams. Heads up to Joleen so she can skip this section. Yankees are doing okay but the pitching has been awful thus far. They are scoring plenty runs to win the game (even with A-rod on the DL) but the bullpen has been terrible and the only pitcher that has been worth his big contract is AJ "I'm gonna get injured at some point" Burnett.

To the cats, Kentucky signed Jon Calipari as their head coach 3 weeks ago and it has been a very fun 3 weeks already. This is the beginning of the rebuilding of Kentucky glory. I am so giddy about it I can hardly wait til Midnight Madness. Until then, I can follow the recruiting as Cal "selects" the players he wants. He is probably the best recruiter in the nation plus he plays a fun style. I am stoked!!!

That is all for now.
