Tough workout, not that great in terms of productivity. Woke up around 2:30 am and never got back to sleep. I think that my body is ready for a nice break, I’m hurting all the time. Tomorrow I may have enough time to hit the gym before we leave on vacation.

Father’s Day 2009

Had a nice trip home this weekend for Father’s Day. Mom found some photos of my grandparent’s that I really liked so I got them scanned.

I really like this photo of my grandparents at the Indiana Dunes. I think it was from when they were both in high school or just out.

Also from high school, my grandfather and a friend of his skipped school one day and made a road trip to Vassar College. They’re wearing their Roosevelt High School sweaters.

I like to remember my grandfather like this. He had a habit of working outside until tired and then taking a nap. He makes good use of a wheelbarrow.
