My day basically started at 5:30 this afternoon. I know I went to work.. and that I worked hard.. I just can’t remember what I did.. Oh, wait.. two things I do remember..    My friend Brian came in to talk about his IDP (career goals).. and he was wearing a Sam button .. which brightened my day..

 

And the second thing I remember is that I checked my blood pressure and weight… 163 pounds and decent heart rate and blood pressure.. at least my outsides are working.

 

Around 4:30  I grabbed my cell phone and took  my last call in the car as I drove up to MMU. I was determined to see some of the movie filming.   It was so great to watch… Today they were filming the ‘Lean Mean Diet Machine’ segment.. It’s with Andrew, Annalise and the ‘young dancers’..(Jade, Katie,. Caitlin, Tana, Hannah, Katherine).. I watched for about an hour.. the kids were looking so good..   Here are some still pictures and a video montage I took…   This movie is going to be just so awesome…

 

Travis and Raye – aren’t they cute ?

I got home from that about 6:30 and helped Diane shuttle the van down to the park for the kids to use when they pulled the Raft out… Meredith, Caitlyn, Max and Cody took the smaller raft from Jonesville to Richmond.. When we got back, friends Rand and Julie , Eric, Ryan and Parker picked us up for dinner . We went down to the Roadhouse Café in Waterbury. It’s a place that specializes in Louisiana style food.. and lots of great Vegetarian dishes . I had Veggie Etouffe and it was excellent. I really recommend the place. It was good to be out with these guys.. I especially needed to see Eric and Parker. They were with Sam the night of his accident.. We have a very strong bond now with them. It did my heart good to see them both doing well.   It was a really good  evening. We got home around 9:30 and the house was packed with kids.. some in the pool, some on the tramp.. some inside.. They are such great kids…

We had a great time looking at the pictures and vid’s I took of their filming today.  and eating pizza that Diane made for them.  It’s a really nice sort of Chaos.. eg.  We have 5 cell phones charging and we don’t know whose is whose.. but there’s an interesting symphony of ringtones come from them 24 hours a day.. Never quiet, never dull

.I’ve got to go to a meting now with my friend Camil .. so I’m going to post this now.. More tomorrow.

 

Gnite all.. gnite Sam
