Titans Weekend.

October 4, 2009 at 4:33 pm (All Pro Dad, FKE, nashville, Tennessee Titans)


I just touched down in Tampa, returning from my weekend in Nashville, Tennessee.  It was my first All Pro Dad event on Staff.  The weather was perfect.  Low 70s, sunny, with a nice breeze off the water beside the practice facility.  We couldn’t have picked a better day for an outdoor event.  Though, I probably should have though through the polo v-neck tan-line I was going to acquire.  Really attractive.

The weekend was great fun and the event went well.  A successful first of hopefully many events with the All Pro Dad event team. : ]  I even managed to pack in a carryon bag for the first time in my entire life!  It wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought, in fact I think I could do it going home for long weekends now that I’ve made myself do it once.  I’m joining the world of low maintenance travel!
Sadly, I didn’t get as much reading done on the plane as I hoped.  I normally can’t sleep on planes but I didn’t have a bit of trouble this go around.  I didn’t read at night since my ‘roomie’ was way more entertaining than my literature.
Sadly, I didn’t find time to use my camera once the entire trip BUT I did manage to snap a few cell phone pictures.  Here ya go…

Possibly the most interesting ‘guests’ of this weekends event were the Comcast crew with the Starwars clones and oh yes, Obe.
Since it’s for work I felt like it was ok that I was behind enemy lines. : ]  Titans territory.  I didn’t get to see my fellow Purdue Alum who plays there but we did get to have a brief chat on the phone.  It was funny to see that we had made similar observations about the differences between Nashville people and Indy people.
Here a picture of the participants and the back of our MC for the day, Brent from 104.5 the Zone.  In the background you can see the Titan’s practice ‘bubble’.  I was a little sad I didn’t get to go inside.
Well time for me to get down to business since being gone all weekend means I have laundry and grocery shopping to do for this week.
Love,
B

Photo Journal of Indy Trip

June 1, 2009 at 7:04 pm (Airports, All Pro Dad, Events, Fathers, Indianapolis, Indianapolis Colts, Kids, Photos)

I thought it would be a fun change of pace to document my Indy trip via cell phone pics and then make a sort of photoblog of it. Oh the places you will go…

First pic: The Indy Airport. I arrived in Indy after midnight, exhausted after an 8 hour work day, 2 plane flights, and some total creepsters sitting next to me. Thanks AirTran.


This is the cafeteria area, where the players eat and sometimes listen to someone talk. For the purposes of the event, this is where our VIPs got to chat with the coaches and player, get their pics taken, and have their gear autographed. It was a big hit.

Next pic is home to the VIP check in area, which turned out to be my place of choice for the event. Marlene and I tackled checking in of the VIPs which ran smoothly for the most part. I really want a silver metal horseshoe like that one for my room. Wonder where I can get one…legally. : ]

The event! The tiny man in yellow in this photo is Dad giving his breif words of wisdom to the crowd out on the practice field! Always fun to work events with my Daddy. Also fun to hear Coach Caldwell and quarterback Jim Sorgi speak on fatherhood. Great crew this year & great crowd!
This pic is during a later office tour we took Ruthie (right) and Lindsay (left) on. Linds was visiting us from Tennessee! Love her. Don’t you wish your office had a game room?!


Where the grunt work takes place. Pictured is Dad and half of Ruthie in the weight room trying out a few machines. It’s safe to report, I don’t have what it takes to be a Colt, at least not ON the field.
Well, that was short but sweet. Hope you enjoyed. Sadly, did not manage to picture my lovely dinner with Candy & Josh OR my 2 hours stint on the golfcart delivering families to their cars after the event. Another great week with the All Pro Dad team as well as with the fam!

Love,
B
