Lovely day to own a motorcycle: cloudy, mid-50s and only a slight breeze.  Most folks want to get on their bikes when the sun is overhead and it's quite warm. Not me, thanks.. every idiot is out on their bike, my air-cooled engine is kicking out loads of heat, my helmet tries to become one with my hairless head. Loved the weather this morning.
One downer however.. my security badge for work is blowing around I-405 somewhere.  Apparently the lanyards were not built to sustain speeds of 75+mph.

It was a pretty great weekend.  I could tell because it was over as soon as it started.  Lovely weather, lovely people, good food, some good drinks.. it doesn't take that much to make me happy.  The wedding was fun.  We hadn't been to one in a while.  Jackie absolutely loves weddings and she cares a good deal for the bride, Adrian. They seem like great kids.  The reception was on her grandparents property.  A really lovely piece of land east of Renton. I wish them luck.

Because Jackie and I never seem to get out alone together I asked her if I could take her to dinner elsewhere.  She agreed.  We bolted for Issaquah and I took her to Jak's so she could get a filet.  It was a really nice day, capped with a pretty great meal.

Yesterday Henry had a two game soccer tournament.  He was on the field for almost both whole games.  His coach told me he was really impressed with his gas tank and how he plays his role on the field.  Coach said he has the makings of a really good midfielder if he can get a bit more aggressive.  Note to Jackie, a bit more me and a little less you.  As a kid I lacked any real athletic ability.  Small, but strong for my size, moderately coordinated, but smart.. and aggressive. Henry doesn't have that fearlessness I had, but maybe that means he'll have a body that still works when he's 40.
