The day of the superb owl. Long may he fly

Doug's cousin and his wife came through today on their way home from the DC area. Their son plays water polo so he had a big scrimmage or game or meet or whatever they call it. I can't believe how much he's grown. He's literally a giant human grown up man. I remember him being a tiny baby. 

I started the day early with a run on the treadmill, and then dishes and folding laundry. I thought about baking cookies to send home with the cousin but my mom called and she derailed those plans. 

The cousin fam arrived around 12:30. We had a great visit and initially the plan was we would all go out to lunch and they'd head out from there, but they confessed they were not hungry. The hotel had a big giant awesome breakfast that they all chowed down on. And that was perfectly fine. We pivoted.

After they left, Doug, Geoff, and I headed out for lunch, since we had shoes on and everything. We hit up the Broad Axe in downtown Hagerstown. I didn't want a full meal or anything because I was saving my appetite for snacks. 

It is Super Bowl Sunday, after all. Geoff went to the market for our game snacks and dinner fixn's for a couple days. Doug crashed with a big nap. And when Geoff got home I whipped up buffalo chicken dip and pigs in blankets. 

And the Patriots whipped up a big bowl of ugh for us. That was not a great game. I didn't think they would win but I didn't think it would be this bad a loss. Seattle is legit. Tough defense all that jazz. 

Long week ahead with a lot of work and I have to focus and buckle down with my friends The Spreadsheets. Several client meetings during the week, one of which I feel like I'm going to say "okay, so what is it you want me to do because none of this is going to work" as I crush someone's dreams. It's like that somtimes.
