Coffee, Pizza, & In-n-out = Perfect health!!! True Story

I received my lab results today from my physical last week and apparently, all the pizza, double doubles, and garlic fries have paid off. My bad cholesterol which should be lower than 130 is 57 and my good cholesterol which should be above 40 is 47. All my bloodwork came back as good as can be. My triglycerides (fat found in the blood) came in at 72 when normal is less than 150. This just goes to show if you have good genes, you dont need a good regiment fruit, vegetables, and exercise... SWEET! Thanks mom and dad.

disclaimer: I swear I am cutting down on my double doubles and eating more veggies. I watch "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" and "Biggest Loser" and have a vegetarian sister-in-law. I am part of the movement (fist pump!)

#36 Update: The Dominance of Chris Porcelli

I have completed two of my goals centering around racquetball... one of which was beating Chris Porcelli 3 times in a row. In that blog, I spoke of my streak being at 4 (it made it to 5) and I could not be happier. I know it might be difficult to believe, but I even gloated a little. Sadly, the tables have turned... and then some. Chris has now beat Alan, Gonzo, and me a grand total of 9 times in a row which leaves him only one away from achieving double digits in consecutive victories which has never happened. Our next game will have to end in his defeat!!! I have a sense of urgency and responsibility that only those storied sports franchises like the Detroit Lions, Kansas City Royals, or Los Angeles Clippers have felt before. I MUST BEAT CHRIS PORCELLI!!!!!

The 30 year Paine storm hits Orange County & 31. Spend an extended period of time with friends from UCLA

Every 30 years, a Paine event rocks Promontory Point in Newport Beach. This past weekend, it hosted Eric Paine's 30th birthday toga party. 30 years and 9 months ago (ya... I did the math too) Bill Paine held the same party. At his party, his buddy "Rabbit" climbed up on the rafters of the room which is neither safe nor smart... We definitely proved that progress over the last 30 years has been minimal (see picture above). We had traditional togas, camouflage togas, somehow we even had Mexican themed togas (a poncho is basically a toga right?). A pretty great byproduct of Eric's party was that I was able to see a group of friends from UCLA for an extended period of time. It was SOOO great to spend time with everyone. It was especially nice to have Pat and Molly (soon to be the Hendry's) stay at our place. A lot of us were able to spend our days at the beach house that Eric rented on the top of 1000 steps in Laguna. This house was SPECTACULAR. We had to take a "miner's cart" from PCH to the house and a private patio on the sand of one of my favorite beaches in the world. Add the delicious food cooked by Eric's mom Cheryl and great friends and it made for a pretty epic weekend!!! Congrats to Eric and thanks to everyone who put it together.

Congrats and Welcome to the family

We are SOOOOO happy to welcome Emma and all the Wadsworths to our family this weekend. A quick but amazing and beautiful ceremony at Crescent Bay in Laguna Beach was followed by a wonderful dinner at Mozambique. It was a little windy and some clouds were hanging around during the day but when sunset came around, everything calmed down to make for a great setting.

Some other big news... IT'S A GIRL!!!! We were notified at dinner of the wonderful news that the little one on the way will be a girl. The news was wonderful for all, surprising for some who were certain it was a boy, and will be extremely profitable for all local retailers holding any pink baby merchandise. My mom also appropriately pointed out that Uncle Bobby and Auntie Joo make us sound old. The over/under on Alan & Emma's little girl being taller than Alan is 10 years. I will start taking bets sometime around August 27th!!!!

Bad Religion at the House of Blues

I was able to see a band that is one of my all time favorites (Bad Religion) at the House of Blues in Anaheim. They have been together for 30 years!!!! They were playing with the adolescents and the crowd which was really cool. It was pretty cool experience which was made even cooler because we got to hang out with Tony, Kit, Will and Xavier. Joo handled all the people like a champ. Her ribs and groin were pretty painful throughout the night and people bumping into her definitely didnt help but she was a trooper the entire night. All in all... it was a night to remember!

Man Cave Update: POOL TABLE NEEDED!

The ping pong top is still there but sadly... the pool table is no longer. We were more than happy to hold on to my buddy Vince's family pool table until he found another home for it but totally underestimated the void that giving it back would leave. If anyone knows someone getting rid of a pool table, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!!!

p.s. we are still super grateful to Vince and Heather for letting us use their table. We tried to take care of it as best we could!
