Saturday.

Saturdays are A-W-E-S-O-M-E.  College Football, no school, college football, relaxing, did I mention college football?  Anywho, this morning was great because I took Grayson on his first run around the neighborhood.  Crazy enough, I took the two dogs too (2 grown labs if you didn't know).  I was really surprised to see how well Grayson slept throughout all the bumps and crevices of the trails, and how the dogs behaved, despite when they had to make unexpected pit stops to drop a "T-Rex" dump (as Shelby so kindly puts it).

I also was fortunate enough to see a good friend of mine all the way back from Palestine, (Texas that is).  When I had to stop for one of the doggies, I heard a bicycle approaching from behind and I heard a, "James Berg, I can't believe it's you!"  Low and behold it was Mark Gold, former Texas A&M student body president and medical student at UT Houston.  Great guy, and after a brief chit-chat he was off to study for their approaching block exams.  Overall the run was great, and I was glad to get some early morning exercise.   Later I'll try to go to the gym at BCM to lift heavy.

When I got back I was warmly welcomed by an "All American Breakfast" put on by the CARES team at our complex.  There is absolutely nothing better on a Saturday morning than waking up, getting some fresh air, then getting home cooked breakfast (for free!).  Later today Shelby's Meemaw and Aunt Carrie are coming down to visit Grayson and we're going out for lunch.  I'm excited to get to hang out with them and relax some more.

Also, I put together a video for your enjoyment of the last few days, primarily at Hermann Park.  Enjoy!
