may day

today is May Day. Nothing exciting has really happened, just another day of work and the usual. I just thought i'd post instead of waiting another week. This past weekend was nice, the weather was good, i worked 11 hours on saturday, and then just relaxed all day with my wife on sunday. we went up to Mt. Scott for a picnic dinner, then waited for the sun to set so she could take pictures with her new camera. the turned out really really good!

one thing of interest, this morning i happened to turn on NBC today show and they were doing a special where Matt Lauer was in Ireland this morning. He was in Galway (i've been there) and then was going to the Cliff of Moher (been there numerous times). The Cliffs of Moher are easily in my top 5 (of places i've actually been too) most beautiful places in the world/best showcases of God's beautiful creation. (in an upcoming blog, i'll name the other 4 places in that said top 5, so be looking for it).
another link for you, http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/blog/index?name=simmons, is a funny article about the nba playoffs. time and again i've said Simmons is one of my favorite sports writers. I keep turning people onto him because i find his stuff so funny to read and and overwhelming majority of the time I agree with his opinions, either A. because i thought of them too and then he put them in print, or B. because it is something no one has said and makes alot of sense and is funny. either way, he's a must read. And because i'm in a list mood, maybe i'll dedicate a whole blog to lists of things. coming soon............
