Grandma Margret's 85th B-Day

Happy 85th Birth Day Grandma Margret. Today was her Birth Day and Ginger and Janet decided to throw her a small party at there house. It was great to get us all together for my Grandma she loved it. Danny was nice enough to drive my sis up from the Bay so she could come to the party, we didn't tell grandma they were coming and she was really excited to see them. Ginger and Janet made a great dinner a desserts.

It was Danielle's first day out and she did good. She crashed when we got home though. Her shoulder is healing but it's going to be a slow recovery, she already started physical therapy yesterday, she is going every third day for the first few weeks. I'll keep you updated on her progress.

Danielle's Surgery Went Well

Just wanted to let you all know that today Danielle had right shoulder surgery, for the people that know all the medical terms they preformed a shoulder arthroscopic sub-acromial decompression, distal clavicle resection, superior labrum anterior posterior repair?

Most of that is all Greek to me but things went well. The surgeon said that her shoulder wasn't as bad as they thought so it will be a quicker recovery, he said she should be back at softball in 3 months. The doctor said she didn't have a slap tear but a torn bicep and a little fraying in the labrum that they cleaned up, and lots of bone spurs and artherites in the distal clavicle that they shaved down and cleaned up. She is still out of it from the anesthesia and the pain meds but is well on her way to a fixed wing.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines day to all the ones I Love.

Las Vegas SIA Ski and Snowboard Show

Last week was the SIA Ski and Snowboard trade show in Las Vegas. I landed in Reno from Aspen Sunday night and 16 hours later I was boarding my flight to Vegas. With the combination of the last two weeks I am beat. This is the last SIA in Vegas, it's moving to Denver in 2010 so everyone wanted to go out with a bang. I am going to hit on the highlights of the week. The show it's self was nothing special, the ski side was so quiet you could hear the crickets, as you moved towards the snowboards it got progressively louder, until you were in a full dance party at the Skullcandy both.

The night life was off the hook. The best night we started of with a party in a suite at the Hard Rock with Gene Simmons introducing his line money bag. I'm not into Kiss or Gene but the media and the crowd was crazy, it's amazing how girls go flock for an old rock star. After a few hours at the Hard Rock we were of to Hofbräuhaus for dinner with the Burton crew. At first I was skeptical about going to the Hofbräu, but we had a lot of fun and a good dinner, the beers were huge the crew was drunk by the time we left.

After dinner we took a party bus to the Palms were we went see Snoop Dogg, Mix Master Mike and Super Natural opened. It was a great show. Skullcandy was putting on the show and they hooked Porters Tahoe up with VIP passes which got us in Rain with out waiting in the line, that was a few 1000 deep, an open bar and the VIP level, which had great unobstructed views of the stage. Super Natural started the show with his insane freestyling followed by a sick mix session by Mix Master Mike that got the club hyped up for Snoop Dogg. Snoop didn't start until about 1:15 am, he performed for about 40 minutes and the crowed loved it. He sang about 7 songs which were all hits Gin and Juice was the best.

After the show some went to bed, but most kept partying at the Hard Rock round bar until the sun came up. This being the last year for SIA in Vegas Skullcandy helped take it out with a bang. I'm going to miss this show. R.I.P SIA Vegas.
