Coronavirus Diaries Day 3

-
What passes for an eventful day in these times. Took the whole family out to drop off supplies (very carefully) to my in-laws. I think it did their hearts good to see Carson, even though it was from six feet away. Oh the cruelty of social distancing... Also snuck a good walk around the block with the family as well. 72 degrees!!

The home gym is now in full operational mode, complete with weights, kettlebells, medicine balls, and of course, wipes!! It gets sweaty down in the basement! Now we need a name for it. The lab? The cave? The pit? We have at least a month to think about it... Wife has had multiple workouts down there and I had my first one yesterday. If I manage to lose weight and gain muscle, bye bye gym membership!!

In golf news, the practice net is about to go up in the backyard and I will hit actual golf balls for the first time this month... Did I mention it is the 20th??? I'll have a full report by tomorrow morning on "The State of the Swing." Six days left until the first tournament of the year... Glad this one doesn't count towards the overall standings...

And in fantasy football news: Todd Gurley gets fired on his day off. If the Rams would have waited until today, it would have been the perfect Friday reference... But he landed in Atlanta, of course after they got rid of Devonta Freeman...  Eagles pick up Darius Slay (as predicted by Beyonce) and as an Eagles fan, I'm really interested in Emmanuel Sanders and for revenge purposes, Jadeveon Clowney... Just so our offensive line can hit him in the back of the head on the practice field... Free Agency still looms...

Well, time for me to sign off, stay safe out there everyone!

God Forbid You Get Splashed at a Splash Park

-

I took my favorite son (note only child) to the splash park today because it was hot and he loves water. No brainer from the activity perspective. So I pack a towel, wear some swim trunks and a shirt (because the abs aren't beach ready) and of course the child, and arrive at the splash park.  Deep within the recesses of the splash park were some sights to behold (and some I wished I hadn't). The air was thick with chlorine and denial. I won't delve too far into the body positivity movement but there are some parts of the body better left concealed else casual glances could turn fatal. Though my most egregious complaint stems from a single individual who was seated in a seat at the very edge of the splash pad just overlooking pair of water jets. She was reading a book and appeared to be oblivious to the commotion of overstimulated children and exasperated adults around her. One such child stopped to play at the water jets in front of the lady, only to splash her and thus aro...

New Restaurant and a New Goal

-
Went to brunch with the family to celebrate my niece's going away to college ( UVA ). Good school but a bit heartbreaking as a Hokie... But that's for another blog post.  The restaurant:   Mama Chang First impressions:   Good curb appeal, lots of space and good flow in the restaurant, ambiance was spacious and airy, furnishings were simple yet effective. Service:  Not good. Waiter did not ask if we had been in the restaurant before, did not ascertain our familiarity with the cuisine or make any recommendations. Also, I would have liked to know how small the small plates were and how big the big plates were. We then had our water delivered to the table and went a long period of time without seeing our waiter again. We were so concerned we wouldn't see the waiter for a long period of time again, the next time we saw him, we rushed through to get our order in without a lot of coordination and ended up ordering multiples of the same dish. When delivering our order, ...

Took a Soundbath Today, Not Bad but still needed a Shower

  This is the sound of your brain being cleaned... For the uninitiated, a soundbath is a deeply immersive, full body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative effects. The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery. I took a Pure Barre class with wifey today and after the class was the soundbath. I have to say it was very relaxing. I heard the tones and felt the harmonic resonance emanating through my body. According to my wife, she couldn't hear the tones over my snoring. Safe to say it was extremely relaxing.  Would I do it again? Perhaps, but not immediately after a workout. Speaking of workouts, I did sneak in a two-mile power walk during lunch. Gotta keep moving!! The weekend is here and I hope to have some good reports of the driving range and brunch. Until next time!
