Beans Beans Beans
Sunday was a crazy day of cooking beans, beans, beans, and yes, more beans... I was literally overwhelmed with little white ones, big red ones, black ones, pinto beans, refried beans and more beans! Check back tomorrow for the complete bean saga:)
Shooting with a Navy SEAL
Last Friday night I had a really cool opportunity. A Navy SEAL named Darek was in town on some business. I met him briefly when I was in San Diego and so did Aaron Peirsol. Darek stayed with Aaron for a night and hung out with us in Austin. Eric Shanteau, Aaron and I went to dinner with Darek on Friday. After dinner we were talking about what to do and one of us came up with the idea to go to the gun range. I am not very into guns but I couldn't pass up this opportunity. My experience with guns is very minimal. I've shot a shotgun on one occasion...that's it. We rented an M4 assualt rifle and a Sig pistol. Both guns are used by the Navy SEALs. Darek showed us all how to shoot properly. Who better to learn from than a master of special warfare?!? This guy is probably one of the most skilled shooters in the entire world. It was awesome. The emotion of shooting these guns was unreal. I was on a high. For never having shot a handgun or a rifle of any kind, especially not an assault rifle, I was actually a pretty good shot. We were all pretty excited as you can see at the top!
The following are some pics from the event!

POP!
Bedtime Snack
I'm just getting ready for the week. I needed a high carb snack to fuel my body while I sleep and get rest before morning practice. This is what I ate, Kashi, Go Lean Cereal. Eating higher carb content at night allows my body to use the food as energy. If I ate protein at night my body wouldn't break it down and use it for energy...it would store it as fat. I don't want that:P
