I had the fun time at Marie’s field trip to LACMA. Thanks Marie for asking me to go!!!

I had a double dose of book shopping for my bday. How cool is that. Despite having to go into work I managed to take a trip to Barnes and nobles during lunch. Then in the evening my kids and wife treated me to a round of BN in Pasadena.

And to top it off while in Pasadena a visit to Caltech was the icing on the cake. Marie and Atom and I played catch on campus while Jackie filmed.

Atom got the game ball at today’s game versus the Red Sox. Despite that they our Yankees didn’t win it was a good surprise. Congratulations Atom!!

First scrimmage before the season starts and Atom is getting off to a good start.

Jackie and I are enjoying a night out at AMC theatre watching Josh Groban Live
