First off this past weekend was one of the best non championship sports weekends of my life. The Angels swept the Mariners and K-Rod set a new single season saves record, the Cougars dominated UCLA 59-0, and the 49ers even had an improbable overtime victory on the road in Seattle. Add on top of that the fact that I got to play flag football on Saturday morning and you can see why this was a great sports weekend. I made sure to wear my Cougars and 49ers ties to work this week.
As I am blogging I have the show Prison Break on in the background. I used to really like this show. Now it is pretty terrible and a huge part of that is that fact that Michael Rappaport plays a prominent role. He is just so terrible. He is as bad an actor as Paul Walker. Yeah that bad.
I really love blogging, it is seriously one of my favorite things. I haven't been as prolific as I had been in the past but I want to be. We'll see what happens.
So last week one of my oldest and best friends Ryan P. Barber came to visit Washington DC for work. I was pumped to have my buddy in town and to show him around a bit.
Ryan and one of his coworkers came into the office and I along with my two new interns took him on a tour. I showed him all around the Capitol and I am pretty sure that he was impressed by my tour skills.
I introduced Ryan to all of my coworkers and showed him around my office. My boss even had a minute to say hi and chat a bit with Ryan, which was really nice.
Ryan was only here for a few days so it was crucial that we hit the high points. That off course being a trip to Ben's Chili Bowl for some delicious Half Smokes and a quick trip to the White House for a picture. Andrea was with us and I think she enjoyed hearing about some of my old adventures. And despite my desperate attempts to hide my nerdish tendencies Ryan couldn't help but share a few of the nerdy things we used to do. I assure her on a regular basis that I was not and never have been a nerd but I'm not sure she believes me.
I am so proud of Ryan, he has great new job, he and Lauren are soon celebrating their fifth anniversary and having a baby on the way. I never ceased to be amazed by the great things my friends are doing.

Peter, you are correct. I enjoyed hearing about your old adventures, particularly the one involving the toilet. I let the nerdish tendencies speak for themselves. ;)
P.S. I'm glad you don't wear/own a shirt with the word "fart" on it.
Well, it is so rare to see him with a shirt on...
Why are all the cute guys married? no fare. haha
Did you get the message from your older sister this morning? WE ARE ALL OVER TO YOU!!!! (Because you don't return our phone calls.) Please call the LGB in Whittier this evening to talk to us. Thank you.
U aren't a nerd because if u are then that means that I am... and I know that I'm not a nerd! So there's proof for you.
Hooray for Ryan!
Before I forget I have to tell you that this morning Savannah was talking about her birthday (yes, the one in JANUARY) and I told her it was going to be a smaller party with probably just 5 kids this year. She started trying to figure out who she would invite and assign everyone their number (ie, "Ava will be #1 and Adelle will be #2) and every time (she was thinking of many configurations since she has so many friends) she would assign YOU one of the numbers. "Okay - so Uncle Peter will be #3 and Lacy will be #4 . . ."
It was so so sweet, she never wanted to leave you out- and I'm afraid you might have set an expensive precident - so get ready for a Fancy Nancy birthday party around January 19th 2009.
Love you.
