The Crazy Dancing Woman

Little clip of this “happy” woman I took today. I just had to do it. It gave me a chuckle and I hope it will do the same for you.

Count Your Blessings

While I was sitting at Dunkin Donuts this morning enjoying a cup of coffee and reading my Twitter feed, I happened to notice something that caught my attention. There was this little kid with his dad ordering at the counter. He was probably around 9 years old. Behind them, in the line waiting to order, was this lady with her husband and I noticed she patted the kid on the back and started talking to him while his dad remained indifferent.

At first I thought that this lady was probably a friend or maybe a teacher but then I realized as she continued talking to him that this was actually the kid’s mother. What struck me as odd was the fact that this woman and the kid’s father were basically not even speaking to each other this whole time except at the end for just a couple of words and that the two men, the kid’s father and the mother’s husband, did not even address each other to say hello.

It’s no secret that I went through a separation and then subsequent divorce a few years ago but throughout all this my ex and I have remained good friends and I also get along with her new partner. In the end, I believe that is the civilized way to do things and it’s in the best interest of children because they don’t feel like they’ve lost a parent or have to choose sides. I know that this is not always possible in all cases but we as parents owe to our children to try to handle it in a mature way.

I’ve heard and seen too many horror stories about divorcing couples and seeing this made me realize what the title of this post states: count your blessings.

The World Cup Finals: Spain Champs

Today, Spain made history by winning their first World Cup. It’s hard to believe this is the first for a country with such a deep soccer history. I watched the game at a pub with a couple of friends and enjoyed the game. Well deserved victory for the Spaniards!

Beach Fun

I took all the videos and pictures on my iPhone 4 then edited it using iMovie for iPhone. Not bad at all, I think! I absolutely love this new iPhone!

This was taken today while out to eat with the family for Father’s Day. The mariachi guys were very nice and let me take a picture with their guitar.

NBA Game: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Utah Jazz

Last week I was in Los Angeles for a quick two and half day work trip. While there, I attended an NBA game at the Staples Center between Los Angeles Clippers and the Utah Jazz. I was there with a group from work and it was a lot of fun. We had a suite and about 20 people in there. Definitely a fun experience!

Here are some of the pics I took.
