Any Given Sunday

What a way to spend a Sunday afternoon. My wife had to prepare her lessons for the two classes that she is teaching at the local University, and every time I would leave the room to do anything, the little one would try and get mommy's attention and she could not finish. I decided to be a good husband, and even a better dad. I asked my daughter if she would like to spend some quiet time with daddy? After she realized that this did not mean going to take a nap, or going to bed, she said sure. I thought what a better way to wrap up a busy weekend than to lay in bed with your daughter in your arm and watch football. Before you think I am one of those dad's who just sit around and watch football all day, let me explain. My daughter and I watch every University of Michigan football game that we can see together. After that, it might be on in the background, but we never take the time to sit down and watch for an extended period. I could not believe how much she loved being in my arms and watching the game. I really don't think that life gets any better than a two year old grabbing your face and giving you a kiss. What a way to end a weekend.

Hello, welcome to blogger land? How did you find me? So, you don't run 60 miles a week anymore? That's a lot. Anything over 50 turns me into a walking zombie. Are you training for anything?

I found your blog by clicking the next blog button, and there you were. I was hooked when you were talking about running!! I have not trained for anything since college, so I think it might be time for me start again.
