DIS Dads DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

Dads of the DIS talk about life, bacon, Disney, bacon, kids, bacon, cars, bacon, family life, and lots of other fun stuff! And beer. And bacon.
3 hours and then bachelor weekend!
Afternoon Guys.

It's flippin' freezing up here, did you guys turn off the heat down there?


Regional tournament time for DS and his teammates. Won the first game this morning pretty easily, play their second tonight at 6:30. So I decided to "work" from home today.

Have a good one.
Best of luck to DS this weekend - keep us posted
The weekend is upon us! Finally. This has been a VERY long week. Seems like every day flies by. Too many meetings and not enough time to get work done. Yet, it feels like the week is dragging. Anyways, time for a little down time with the family.
Enjoy the family time!
 
Too cool. Seriously.

Wow, that's really cool. And here I am just sending emails all day.

Cool picture. Will this be her long term career as well? Or, will she have to be in an office emailing people.

Very Cool :thumbsup2

So cool. I'm glad she's getting to have this experience. Even if she does end up spending her professional career later on behind a desk sending e-mails. :rolleyes1


That's almost as cool as leaning on a shovel.

She is having a blast. I'm a little worried it is taking her away of studies but I'm keeping my mouth shut. Problem with this is it is hard to find a PAYING job when they get out. No emails all day but she may get stuck in a lab doing research.

Good luck to Delan in the tournament. We are pulling for his team.

Oh, and remember how I told you all that a boy from church & tennis has a crush on my daughter? Well, I guess it's their first date on Saturday as they get to play tennis together on one court while his dad and I play tennis on another court.

And so it begins. (Insert evil laugh here)

3 hours and then bachelor weekend!

Try not to burn the house down. Any plans?
 

Have fun with that - try not to hit an errant shots in the young man's direction.

I can still get my serve over 100 mph. He better be careful. :lmao:

e.

Tell the penguins to fly south for the winter. :rotfl:

Meetings were created for people who have fancy job titles and not enough work to do.

3 hours and then bachelor weekend!
!

Have a blast. Philip has bail money. :lmao:

And so it begins. (Insert evil laugh here)
?

Laugh away. His dad is an orthodontist and has one of the largest practices in town. I'm ready to marry her off tomorrow. :sad2:
 
Hello guys. I am finally heading home today after my month long work rotation overseas (southeast Asia for anyone who doesn't know). Can't wait to get back and see the family.

Welcome (?) to the club. Oldest DD had a boyfriend last year for 4-5 months but has stayed away from it for a while, long enough for my blood pressure to go down at least. She just started bringing another guy around this month. Not too serious yet (I presume, but they really don't tell you much). Of course I don't like it, but she's turning 17 next month and there's not much I can do about it. Got to let them go sometime.

Well, on the other hand, things could be worse.

I here ya. It's rather chilly here in VA as well. Someone needs to throw another log or two on the fire.
Yeah, I heard it's been cold. I'm not really looking forward to the temperature change after being in the tropics for a month.
 
Another win for DS and his buddies, 96-67 over the #1 ranked team from the Southern Conference. Both games today have allowed for the starters to get lots of rest and tonight had the bench play pretty much the entire 4th quarter.

Crossovers tomorrow morning.

Happy Saturday guys. Tennis this morning went Well for both my and dd. She lost the match, but played him close to 5-3. Now, I have Tottenham vs Middlesbrough. It's been an entertaining match so far. You all have a good day.

My oldest 15 had a HS boyfriend who carried her books at school and she met with her friends at the football games this year. Not much alone or one on one time. All we can do is teach them the best we can, model good behavior, and threaten any of the little buggers who we meet. :lmao:

Dominant performance. Congrats to him.

Thanks Norm.

The run ended in the final. The boys had a sloppy 69-62 win in the semis this morning and a couldn't overcome a weak first half in the final against their cross-town rival, losing 99-86. DS had a double-double in both games. They will head off to the provincial championship next weekend as the two seed from the South-West. If all goes to form, the final next weekend should be the same two teams as this weekend.

Impressive despite the loss. Next weekend, if they win, is there a further step? Or is Provincial as far as it goes?

Provincials is as far as they go for high school. After that he will be doing some age-class stuff and then the weekends in April will be the try-outs for the age-class provincial teams and Canada Games team.

What do you figure his chances are for the provincial and Canada Games teams are?

Should have an excellent shot at the U16 team, he has an outside shot at the Canada Games team. The provincial group he played with last summer was made up of most of the Canada Games athletes. He did well with that group so I think he may be on the radar.
 
Any thoughts on the Super Bowl? Negative rooting for the Pats to lose but hoping for at least a good game.

Safe travels.

Still an impressive tournament run.
