Reddish Sports Roundup Halloween edition

Dylan started off the weekend on Friday by coming in second in his first race with a 19.97 second time in the 25 meter. He followed that up Saturday, by contributing a goal off a corner kick in his teams dominating performance.
Alexander's soccer team didn't fair as well, but Alexander played for 3 quarters to give his team a fighting chance.
Ryan continues to hone his soccer skills at Superstar Soccer. A little shy at first he warms up and impresses his coach Eddie Spaghetti.

Converted Garage Patio

When you have 1 car and a very narrow driveway do you really need a 2 car garage? Nope. The Wife made the decision to cut the garage in half. I thought it was a great idea. Now we just need to get patio furniture and a ceiling fan (on order). Part garage and part patio with a roof. Needless to say Luis and his team banged this out in just about 7 days. Looks great!

Dylan tacks on 1.5 points to his rating

On his first trip to nationals in Atlanta, Georgia-- Dylan managed to win his first round and get a draw. Not bad for seven years old. I don't know what I accomplished at that age, but it sure wasn't this.. Goo going Dylan! Next year -- Dallas!

It Started at Le Poisson Rouge in the West Village...

The wife and I were partying like it was 1998 this weekend. Friday night we went to Mission of Burma and Freshkills at the Bowery Ballroom. Saturday we hit Le Possion Rouge for Pistolera and Red Barrat in the West Village. The evening ended with a mad dash to the Mercury Lounge to catch the The Giraffes and a quick bite to eat at Katz's. We arrived home at 3.30 AM. Thankfully Meema had number two and three son, while Dylan had his first "co-ed" sleepover with his buddy Lily. Most days these activities end up killing us the next day. However, as I said to Schultz at the end of the night-- Not a bad decision was made last night. So, Schultz asks me at 3am, "What are we doing next Saturday?" Well, probably something not remotely as exciting as last night. Good Times!
