What an awesome Monday...

Hey Friends,

This blog is likely going to be short, because it's 11 PM and I'm pretty pooped. Although, I am still reeling after the overtime win by the Steelers on Monday Night Football. That makes it 14 straight wins at home on MNF. The Steelers started so slowly, and it looked like their season was in the tank - that's how bad they were playing. Thankfully they turned on the offense in the second half and got some timely turnovers and touchdowns. Once they had momentum it was all over but the cryin'. If you watched the game, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

I'm still not getting much sleep these days. I'm still blaming it on the altitude, but that's really only part of it. I still wrestle with something that happened before I left Edmonton; but at least it's only on my mind when I slow down enough to think. So far I've been pretty busy, so it hasn't been too often. The huddle this morning was also weighing on me quite a bit, but it went really well today. All is in the past, and the events of last week are all but forgotten. Thank God! That was a huge relief. I was listening to calls all day, and I got a chance to meet some more cool people at work. One guy, Mark, was from Massachusetts, and he lived near Springfield (where the basketball hall of fame is) and his neighbour's grandfather was the guy who invented the 3-point line. Haha, how cool is that! Yeah, good times with the peeps at Homestead so far.

For lunch we went out for Chick-fil-A. It's an all chicken fast food place. I highly recommend it if you get a chance to eat there; but, don't bother on Sundays, because the owners are Mormon and all franchises are closed on Sunday! lol. I wish they knew that the Sabbath was made for man, and not the other way around. :P

After work I did the new usual: went to the clubhouse for a run. This time I explored a little, and I found a half basketball court. It had the grippiest (?) floor ever and a basket that I couldn't miss on from just about anywhere. I broke the 8 mph barrier today, which I was stoked about; but I had to alter the routine a little as a compromise. Still, I think 3+ miles is good no matter how I get it done. I was kinda peeved though, because the only TV close to my treadmill was missing the channel button...so I was stuck glancing over at Hannah Montana on the Disney channel. : That was almost enough to make me quit.

After the run I made a light snack and tried to find the football game. The TV at my place is kinda funky too. Every other channel is in Spanish, and there are blank channels mixed throughout. It feels like panning for gold when I channel surf - there's a rare piece of gold surrounded by crap. :P But, I found the game at the start of the second quarter, so it wasn't so bad. It was a funny coincidence that I made Chunky soup for dinner, because that's the official soup/meal of the NFL. I thought it was quite fitting. :)

Anyway friends, that's about all for today. Catch ya on the flip-side!
