Week in Review/Week in Preview

Well, it's that time again and I've got lots to share, so I'll get right to it.

Week in Review

• Started off my week at the office. Spent time with my OMM fam and worked on the book. Always great to be downtown.
• Ruth came to visit!! She landed on Tuesday morning and shipped off to the UK on Saturday night. We had a blast while she was here - went to Santa Barbara, hung out in Santa Monica, played basketball and tennis, worked out at Educogym all week, and capped off our week with a trip to Palm Springs. I spoke with my fake British accent for most of the week, and sometimes Ruth busted out her fake British accent even though she has an actual one. All in all, a stellar time with one of my best buddies.
• Got the best surprise ever: a personal DVD message from Coach K. The awesomeness of this is still sinking in.
• Exercised every day: walk/jog around the neighborhood, weights at Educogym, shot some hoops, played a little tennis.
• Palm Springs trip with Ruth, my parents and Will, my grandma and uncle and Tim and David -- did some gambling (I won almost $200 and Will lost $140), had some delicious food (the baked brie with fig chutney was incredible), and spent quality time with my loved ones.
• Went to a Kings game in the OMM suite at Staples with my parents and Will, Ruth, Tim, and Anna.
• Hung out with my awesome friend Aymee on Wednesday night, who I managed to terrify by forcing her to watch A Haunting in Georgia with me. Please let me know if you're interested in watching it with me - always looking for another victim. ;)
• Spent a little over 24 hours in Seattle - will write a post about my incredible time here, but let me soak it in first.
• Drank lots of water, got all my Lovenox shots, and took all my vitamins.
• Made a good dent in Anatomy of an Illness book - pretty great so far.
• Watched my Blue Devils go 1-0 after putting a pounding on Princeton.
