(happy B'day to your little girl)
Five-moi:
1. New job going great - karmic payback from dudes I last worked for in 1999. Bigger fish, smaller pond, enjoying it immensely.
2. Doing something good for the world every day, from dropping a quid to a homeless through to organising a paintball day for 10 kids - so rewarding.
3. Being solo for the first time in 25 years... So free I burst into smile showers just thinking about it. I don't have to account for anything to NO fucker. So liberating.
4. Sat outside a pub last week with old work colleagues, sun going down in the west, on the river near Waterloo bridge - so, naturally, acapella 'Waterloo Sunset' sprung forth. Just nice.
5. all 5 of my boys together this weekend, crazy golf, driving range, skate park, big Mexican dinner, watching the Olympics closing show with a couple of beers.... Perfect.
2. My future wife and I just bought a house
3. The "things to fix around the house" list is steadily dwindling
4. My first attempt at making suppli was a success
5. So nice, I gotta say 'em twice: I got engaged, and my future wife and I bought a house
congrats, dude!
Gracias!
2. Watched my daughter take her first four steps last night. Life altering. She hits 10-months old tomorrow.
3. Been going to Spin classes. Hadn't been in three years. Love that shit. Love biking, but riding to work won't always sort out, so this is a nice alternative.
4. Secret Squirrel
5. Working on changing some things in my life. Haven't had a drink in almost six weeks, and that will continue indefinitely. Too much at stake between work and family to be fucking around with that shit. Eyes on the prize.
1. my mom loves me
2. friends
3. roof over my head
4. clean underwear
5. the mop
peace, stein. . .
2. by doing a little homework, a little lugging and some creativity, i managed to organize and complete a $15k renovation of my house, for around $1100.
3. wonderfully loving girlfriend, hopelessly loyal dog.
4. NYC, LA, Berlin or London for next home purchase.
5. only three more months of 16 hour work days.
2. Ticked off a few home improvement things in the past few weeks, the pad looks and feels great
3. The Orb v Lee Perry Fact mix .. I forgot a bunch of code tricks so >>> http://www.factmag.com/2012/08/06/fact-mix-341-the-orb-lee-scratch-perry/
4. Seeing folks I know out on the streets, all random bump in stuff .. its a little thing, but a good thing
5. A fives list on the Strut (paging Hermillo)
I have the following fives to report:
1. My wife and I just completed an absolutely wonderful vacation through the New England states (and I pulled some HEAT out the bins in Boston).
2. I published my first top-tier journal article with a doctoral student as the first (lead) author. It feels great to give a youngin some shine.
3. I've been on the grind in the gym like a champion and feeling great.
4. The drama at work has subsided (I'm chair of an academic department).
5. I am blessed with my health and contentment in life.
Peace,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
Awwwww... I feel loved! Thank you for remembering, sir! I'll gather my thoughts and post some fives myself soon!
2. Returning from the trip with a sackful of Salumi Salamis.
3. Right before my trip I completed my first uninterrupted mile swim. Hopefully hiking around at an altitude of 6-7 thousand feet maintained my level of fitness as I haven't been in the pool for over a week... I guess we will find out today.
4. For August, the weather ain't bad, only supposed to be 90 today.
5. Coming home to my awesome and goofy dogs. They are the greatest.
