Dec 3, 2013


After finding out the details at the last minute, I was off to a law firm in Springfield, New Jersey to shoot the office and head shots. They had a nice office and waiting room and the employees were all very friendly to me as well.


I really liked the shots I got in the board room because the table was reflective and the colors from outside were really nice. I was quite happy with all of the shots I got for this one, and it seemed much more fluid and easy than the last one I did.


I stopped at Whole Foods for lunch and then met Joanna at the Rutgers disc golf course. I forgot how short the course is. I had a hard time with a lot of shots because I couldn't throw as hard as usual. It was a fun round anyway.


I headed back south and picked up Gaby to head to the 76ers game in Philly. We had second level seats, but they were good. I'd never been to a basketball game before so I didn't know exactly what to expect. The crowd was incredibly calm for the most part. The guys in front of us said a lot of funny things so that was enjoyable.


My favorite part was the gymnastics show they did in between play. These guys ran from the other end of the court, sprung up on the trampoline, and did crazy flips before dunking the ball. I was impressed. They did a lot of t-shirt cannons and cheerleader breaks also. During half time we went out and played a fun round of bubble hockey, and we were joined by a kid that wanted to play so he helped Gaby.


Somewhere in the fourth quarter we made up our own game guessing on each possession whether the team would score 2, 3, or miss. This made the game much more exciting, even as it went into double overtime. Aside from guessing the final score that was the most fun. The Sixers won after a prolonged double overtime with so many time outs and fouls that it took as long as another quarter.


We went to PBs for a drink after the game, but it turned out they close at 11 so we only had one and then stopped at Clancy's on the way back for another. It was a good night, and I'm happy to say I actually enjoyed the game.

It was pretty nice outside during the day so we went to the Rutgers course to play a game. It was much less windy than the last time I played. I made some nice shots, no aces this time. Joanna made one awesome putt from probably 25 feet away. Too bad it was the second shot... Also, this guy parked here on purpose.

It was short and fun like the last time. I wish there were more courses to choose from around here. We ended our game with a five-point difference. Pretty close.

We went shopping at the Menlo Park Mall after the game and I found a hat and a scarf that I liked. We went to Target, where I found a pretty sweet coat. I did really good as far as shopping goes. All that buying made me hungry so we went to IHOP. We got an omelet and pancakes then, of course, dessert. Some kind of cheesecake with bananas and ice cream.. sigh.

We almost went ice skating but decided to save it for the city and went home to play Battleship instead. Apparently I have no luck at the game. I lost two games in a row. I was so close in the second one! That little boat is hard to find!

After a fun day out I was pretty tired so after the same shows and some stand-up comedy I was ready to go to sleep again.

When we got up this morning we ran to AC Moore to do grab something and then I finally headed home. Sort of. I stopped not too far away at the course at Rutgers' Douglass campus.

Most of the holes were pretty short, some were basically mid-range shots. This one should not be a par 3 for any reason. I could ace it if I took a few shots I'm sure.

Speaking of aces, I got one on hole 15 in the more wooded part of the course. It wasn't an easy ace, I don't think I could do it again without some luck but a lot of holes are short enough that it's bound to happen. It was cold and windy but besides that I enjoyed the course.

I came home and had some food before going to Bennigan's with Katie for a short time. There were way too many people there watching the Eagles game so we went to Applebee's where it's much quieter. We didn't stay there very long either.

I came home and watched some Mythbusters and caught up on the stuff I have been neglecting for the past week. Played some Scrabble, got caught up on the DG site for a long time and now it's bed time.
