Granted, the summer season is over, but the heat remains. It’s been a jam (grape) packed few weeks and I thought I should get my thoughts on pixel. Here are some things that you might want to know about:

1) Our neighbor has a child. In fact, they have two. One, age 2, the other 6 months; both are loud as hell. So Saturday morning, at 7:30 am, my morning started with screams from next door. Today was the day for the two-year olds first shower. However, this kid is made of sugar and water hurts him more than anything else in the world. This kid screamed for twenty minutes. I thought they were giving him a tattoo or branding him. I could not sleep.

[SIDE NOTE: These neighbors are the same ones who complain if we are in our backyard talking at 9:30 pm. " Be quite please, it's a little late to be making that type of noise." She has said that many times. She also cam e over one time and told me to keep the dog quite (we were dog sitting for one night) because her baby was sleeping. I responded with, "I didn't tell you to go have kids!"]

One day I’m going to snap and just say, “Keep it down, single people trying to enjoy life over here.”

2) Caroline and I are going to the Dodgers vs. Padres game on Wednesday. It’s my third game this year, my second Dodgers/Padres game of the season, and the third time to a Padre game. I think it’s Fernando V. talking key chain give away night also.

3) Toby and I started working out together at LA Fitness. Our first workout was Monday; I�m already sore and have to do it again tonight. Weights are heavy. On the positive side, I have an armband for my iPod that I wear on my forearm and it makes me look like a robot. I�ll have to take a picture so you can truly understand.

4) Matthew moved back to the U.S.A. under cover of darkness. It was good to see him again. Next time, Matt, if you want to move out, you don’t need to move halfway around the world for six months. Welcome back.
