wow, i picked up some hell of a kind of cold back in philly.  finally just shaking loose of it now - been battling it for days - even had to stay home from work some to just try sleeping it off.  that and pound the nyquil...  yikes.  training went right out the window - so no good.  but then at the same time my buddies jonathan and jacob were both in town - but at separate times - for work.  absolutely ridiculous.  they're in town, i'm under the weather, but the weather was nice and we got some sweet fish tacos, knocked some volleyball around, etc anyway.  wow.  and now i fly out tomorrow night to florida for the 2nd weekend in a row of family reunions!  this time my mom's side for my grandfather's 90th birthday.  nice!  and pretty soon i've got to start planning a trip for the 3rd family reunion - with the reid side - the closest non-family family that i've got - more to come on that later...
