The Christmas recap

I had a nice Christmas over here at "The Lattice Factory" - hope you did too.

Dinner with a friend and a 19 month old munchkin on Wednesday - involving lots of playing blocks and learning our colors - all while sitting about / laying around the floor.  If you're gonna play with a little bit, you gotta get down to their level.  Also, blocks are pretty entertaining.  Just sayin'.

Busy with the work all week long - thank God Jose and Arturo were available to help.
We did this striped, frost installation at Boston Consulting Group on Friday.
Wednesday they helped me remove several hundred square feet of film from a condo in Buckhead - what a pain that was !






And the view from the 38th floor of 10th and Peachtree wasn't bad while we were working.

Saturday, "The Source of the Trouble" , me and close friends went over to Buford Highway to have a traditional Chinese dinner at Chef Lu's Restaurant.  Good food - even better because our friend is Taiwanese and fluent in Mandarin so she ordered everything.




And according to my fortune cookie - things are looking up!  Even if the picture edit/rotate didn't work out so well.

I was up early today - Christmas day - to work out.  Including yoga, a HIIT cardio workout, and a bit of weights (leg day) + lots of crunches - 500 in all !  
I averaged about 500 crunches / inclines per day this past week.  Finally seeing progress.  

Went to church with "The Source" and then had dinner with her and one of her friends.  Wore the fancy / ugly Christmas pants I got on sale from BR.  Not bad. 



 This is what happens when you wake up at 3:30 in the morning and "have a little spot".



And my brother sent me this for a Christmas present.

I listened to this interview Joe Rogan did with Metallica frontman, James Hetfield, last night but put it on again this morning and enjoyed it a bit more.
It's worth your time.

Decided to get out of the neighborhood last night and go to The High Museum for Friday jazz night.
Had a good time listening to the music, looking at the art, and goofing off with Kenny.
Miss Casey joined us at RiRa Irish Pub in midtown for a couple drinks afterwards.
Nice chill night with friends.









"No, Kenny !!!  Noooooo!"


Not my best photo - gotta work on my selfie skills.

Jumanji just wrapped!
Here's a picture from Kevin Hart's Twitter feed.  You can see William Tokarsky getting punched by Hart and Indiana Sifuentes in the background.  I was standing on the far right just out of frame when this pic was taken.  Hopefully I make the edit.




I spent 6 days on set not doing a whole lot but was asked to come back for a 7th day and spent a great deal of that one with my mug squarely in the camera.  We'll see when it comes out.

Ridiculous long days on set this week.  14 hour day on Tuesday, 13 on Wednesday, and almost 16 today (Thursday).  Back at it tomorrow.

Matt B., Chad J., and I got a little punchy on set today.


Please note peaceful and contented look on Viking Jesus there on the right.
