Sandy, you B

Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast yesterday.  Hm.  It just kinda felt surreal.  Fortunately for Baltimore, MD, we were spared from the worst of the storm.  My sister lives in NJ, at the Shore and was not so lucky.  She sent these photos (from different sources) at around 1 pm yesterday.

Tuck, NJ

Yikes!  Thank God, they ended up moving at the beginning of this year to Point Pleasant, away from the coast.  

I'm currently watching the news, since our office is closed this morning.  The streets in NJ/NY were flooded last night and this morning it looks like a beach on the streets, with sand throughout.  I just hope Glide made it ok, with only minimal damage.  I'm sure there is some, but I pray it's only minimal.  It's also crazy to see NYC, the subway, Times Square - deserted and ROCKED.  The NYSE even closed yesterday and today.  wowsers!  welp.  time to go to work now.  

Catch-up

How are things going?  

There are so many things to catch up on tonight.  Where do i begin...well, the weather has been fall-tastic these last few weeks!  I love this time of year, where the air is crisp and the leaves are colorful - magnificent!  We have soccer season now in full swing, football season mid-way and still on the rise, and baseball in October is at it's peak.

So my soccer team at Loyola is ok. We didn't qualify for regionals - oh well.  But coaching keeps me busy 3 days during the week.  Both Messiah soccer teams are still up in the rankings, but who knows how far they will really go.  We (MWS) have a young team this year.  I saw the team play a few games at the beginning of the season, so it is tough to gauge what their potential could have been and how they are playing now.  we'll have to see.  i think there are 2 more regular season games left to go, then playoffs.

Flag football practice began at the beginning of the season for church.  it's kinda a big deal.  it's fun and we run real plays and wear those sticky receiver gloves and everything.  tournament day is the saturday after Thanksgiving, so officially we have 4 more practices to perfect our play.

This weekend I'm heading up to Philly to run in the 21st Annual Lupus Loop, a 5k in honor of my mother who passed away at the end of August.  It would mean a lot if you could donate to this cause.  My mother suffered for many years, mainly from Lupus and of course, donations would go to research in finding the causes of and cure for Lupus.  There are many friends who have already donated and I thank you for your kindness.

I need some new pumps.

i wanna be able to do pull-ups again.

sad day: RayRay done for the season :(
