Wow, busy weekend:
Friday night was my parents last night in Austin after spending a month in a rented home a mile away from my home. It was wonderful having them so close. I enjoyed going to visit for happy hour every afternoon around 5pm. I wish I would have know my parents were so cool when I was a kid. It was also great seeing them play with Landry, who, by the way is now 9 months old. My parents plan on spending another month in Austin soon. I miss them.

Got a bid to get a new deck built in our backyard. It made me sweat alot and my heart pound. I think this only happens to men. I asked my wife to give me until March, well she didn’t forget.

Making plans for this summer. I feel like we haven’t gone anywhere or done much since Landry was born. Going to Omaha to see my family and go to the College World Series in June.

I entered a Match Play Golf Tournament that starts this week. I am going to get my ass kicked, but I will make it fun. 64 guys in the field and it last until May, I’m pretty sure I will be done after the first round. How is that for being positive?

I’m impressed how the Canadians are handeling there Olympic Gold in Hockey. I have heard and seen them say alot of classy things about our boys. Well done Canada.

SXSW is coming. JB is doing something really cool with SXSW. Keep listening for details

And, I am done

PLEASURING YOURSELF IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH!

If you’re under the impression that sexually pleasuring yourself is somehow bad for you, a group of researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign want you to know that’s not true.

–In fact, according to a new study, going to town on your junk is actually GOOD for your mental, physical and social health for several reasons. Check it out:

#1.) It provides a healthy sexual outlet for people who are abstaining from sex.

#2.) It allows those who aren’t ready for sex to experience sexual pleasure.

#3.) It promotes safe sex by guarding against pregnancy and the spread of STDs.

#4.) It can help alleviate premenstrual tension for women.

#5.) It can help women learn how to climax.

#6.) It can help men learn how to control their “evacuation.”

#7.) And it increases blood flow to the genitals, which improves overall sexual functioning.

WARNING! Alex uses a dirty word…the nickname for Richard! You are warned!

Nice weather we are having, huh? Yea, it sucks but the good news is that Lake Travis is above it’s historic average for Feb, it is the first time that has happened since 2008. The drought is over. I know that 99% of you don’t really care about lake levels, but the lake is my backyard and I am excited. I’m excited to get back on the lake and for all the people that have businesses on the lake. It has been a tough few years for them.

My daughter Landry is officially crawling and it is hysterical to watch. Hard to believe and 8 month old can bring so many laughs.

My wifes birthday is tomorrow (Feb 12) send her a tweet @tmcilree We are going out to dinner with two of her close friends. I actually got a reservation at this place that doesn’t take reservations. I have been going there on a regular basis for 14 years, it nice of them to do for Tricia.

Valentines is Sunday. Are you watching my walled shrink? Ah, Tricia is cool about having her birthday and Valentines Day so close together. This is her 39th, next year will be a big deal.

Our second annual Wild Game Feast is a week from Sat (Feb 20th) this is when all my hunting buddies bring something that they hunted this year to my house and we eat and eat and eat. We invited women this year, we will see how that goes. Lots of food though, White Tail Deer, Axis Deer, Black Buck Antelope, dove, duck, goose, phesant. I look forward to it all year. I will be sure to post pictures here and on my twitter at @sandymcilree

My parents are here for the month of Feb. They rented a cabin right across from us. It is great having them so close. I love spending time with them. Sadly, the left Omaha because of the crappy weather and it seems to have followed them here. We have only had 1 nice day in the nearly two weeks they have been in Austin. I hope it changes for there sake.

The Olympics are here, thought you might enjoy this

Be patient it takes them a bit to get started
