So what have I been doing besides updating my blog?
Riding my bike again - Originally, the plan was to commute to the radio show. Like updating the blog, that hasn't happened yet. But I have been going on regular rides. According to MapMyRide.com, I've put in more than 100 miles in the past month. This past Sunday, I did 16.4 miles at Ben Geren. I'm riding my old Diamondback mountain bike, which I bought probably 15 years ago. It's heavy and doesn't have a front suspension. I'd like to get a road bike, but those things are ex-freakin-pensive. Thanks to the bike and watching what I eat, I've lost 18.5 pounds in the past two months or so. I'd like to drop another 20. I just have to figure out what to do when the days get shorter and I can't go for a ride at 7 p.m. after work.
Tweeting - Yeah, I know. Some of you Luddites still aren't even on Facebook (Hi Craig!). But I'm enjoying Twitter much more than I thought I would. I use it basically as an RSS feed. Right now, I'm getting bombarded with Steelers info thanks to following five different Pittsburgh area reporters. Plus, I figure it's a good thing to be promoting my brand online given the current nature of journalism.
Bransoning - We met Jen's family up there for a mini-reunion. I was dreading it. Visions of the Baldknobbers and Shoji Tabuchi danced in my head. But Branson has grown so much in the years since I last went. Branson Landing is incredible. It's a pedestrian mall alongside Lake Tanneycomo. High-end shopping, restaurants and bars on the street level, with condos above that. Combined with Table Rock Lake for boating, Tanneycomo for cold-water trout fishing and the outlet mall, I could see the Party Squad having a grand old time in Branson.
Being Mr. Mom - It was only three days, but good gosh I liked it. I've always enjoyed my mornings with Paige. But I was a little nervous about having her all day. But that was a silly worry. I just wish the Martins lived here, so Craig could have brought Trevor to the mall one day to meet us. There were plenty of moms pushing strollers that day I went, but I was the only dad pushing one. As I walked around the mall, I got tickled at the idea of Craig and I pushing our kids through the mall arguing about some sports topic while we got odd looks from the moms who were there.
Not getting a haircut -
(No, I don't leave the house like that. Yes, I use hair product to make it look somewhat better.)

Yeah, I think the odds of me getting an 8 to 5 and being cubicle bound are about one percent now. It'd be tough to give up my days with Trevor, especially now that he's starting to approach the more interactive stages. (and I guess if I wasn't stuck in the newsprint age, I could've responded by tweet or facebook ...)
Craig, the blog is one thing Scott doesn't tweet or facebook. It's still a you-have-to-know-about-it first thing :)
I love the image of the two of you arguing about something while pushing baby strollers.
And, that is one close-up photo of your face, dude!
Promoting your brand?? What are you selling that I don't know about? Do you have a hair product you've concocted?
By the way...you are starting to look like a skunk with that gray hair stretching in a line form your stache to your beard...But as I say...better to ahve gray hair than no hair :)
