\u00a0I haven&#8217;t posted in about 2 months, if you are (were) a semi-regular reader, sorry about that. \u00a0It&#8217;s been crazy these past 2 months, primarily due to starting the <a href=\"\/index.php\/2010\/02\/times-are-a-changin\/\">new job<\/a>. \u00a0Changing your routine, wow, rough! \u00a0I&#8217;m a creature of habit and the commute and new times to wake up and go to bed all just threw me off for a solid 3 weeks (at least). \u00a0Then to top that off, I&#8217;ve been leading a small group each week at church and I&#8217;ve been working for about the past 4 month&#8217;s on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.impactchristian.com\" target=\"_blank\">Impact Christian Church&#8217;s<\/a> (formerly West Hills Christian Church) new website. \u00a0We just released it this past week, so the past 2 months have been pretty crazy working on that also (plus creating a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/impactpittsburgh\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook page<\/a> to integrate w\/ the site). \u00a0So, just those 3 things alone have threw me off, just didn&#8217;t give me much time to post anything here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wjfuoco.com\/images\/rosso-di-montalcino.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1353\" title=\"rosso-di-montalcino\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wjfuoco.com\/images\/rosso-di-montalcino.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"187\" height=\"419\" \/><\/a>So anyways, getting more relevant to today, Easter is tomorrow&#8230;.my birthday also &#8211; turning the big 2-5 (now I can rent a car w\/out paying extra for insurance&#8230;..the only age I can look forward to now is retirement!). \u00a0So being Easter, my buddy Justin flew into town for the holiday and I was able to hang out w\/ him. \u00a0He also just got back to the States from visiting his girlfriend Carley in Europe &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.personal.psu.edu\/cml5218\/blogs\/a_penn_stater_in_florence\/\" target=\"_blank\">Florence, Italy<\/a> to be exact. \u00a0Therefore, makes me recall my time in Rome, going to the <a href=\"\/index.php\/2006\/04\/easter-at-st-peters\/\">Papal Mass<\/a> on Easter Sunday 2006 &#8211; pics <a href=\"\/PicAlbums\/Italy-2006\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> (click on &#8220;Easter at St. Peter&#8217;s&#8221;). \u00a0Well anyways, Justin &amp; Carley also got me a bottle of vino Italiano and gave it to me today! \u00a0I&#8217;m pretty stoked about that, I enjoy a good red wine. \u00a0It&#8217;s a 2006 &#8220;Rosso di Montalcino&#8221; and comes from\/near the <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?client=opera&amp;rls=en&amp;q=montalcino,+italy&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Montalcino+SI,+Italy&amp;gl=us&amp;ei=t_C3S9X3JMH68Abzs5HfBw&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=geocode_result&amp;ct=image&amp;resnum=1&amp;ved=0CA0Q8gEwAA\" target=\"_blank\">city of Montalcino in the Tuscany region<\/a>. \u00a0I&#8217;m no wine connoisseur (yet?) but what I&#8217;d like to do when I get my own place is to start collecting. \u00a0I&#8217;d like to buy a wine rack and find a cool place in the house to keep it and when I travel somewhere, stop at a local winery or someplace I can buy the local wine and buy a bottle or 2 and just try different wines from across the country. \u00a0So, diverting back from my tangent&#8230;..thanks Justin &amp; Carley, can&#8217;t wait to try the &#8220;Rosso di Montalcino&#8221;!<\/p>\n<p>Some other fun facts, heading to Lake Tahoe this summer w\/ a few buddies from high school. \u00a0This should be a sweet week! \u00a0There&#8217;s 5 of us, we got a nice house rented already and we plan on doing some boating, water skiing, tubing, all that outdoor kind of stuff&#8230;.right up my alley!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also still debating on a trip the first week of May to Las Vegas. \u00a0My friend is turning 21 and her uncle is a Manager at the Rio and able to get us a nice hotel deal, so a few friends are going down for a long weekend. \u00a0I have that Friday off, so I&#8217;m debating whether or not to spend the money on the airfare to go still. \u00a0I&#8217;d primarily like to go and just check it all out. \u00a0Not sure Vegas is really for me in general, but I do think it&#8217;d be something pretty wild to at least check out for 2-3 days. \u00a0So we&#8217;ll see about that. \u00a0If I do go, there will sure be pictures up on the site!<\/p>\n<p>So, with those 2 trips in mind, I think I only have 1 more I&#8217;m considering also. \u00a0I&#8217;d like to visit my cousin down in St. Petersburg, Florida during one of my 3 day weekends this summer. \u00a0We&#8217;ll more than likely hit up a baseball game and he&#8217;ll just show me around the area. \u00a0It should be a nice mid-summer break!<\/p>\n<p>Well, \u00a0that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been up to and what I look forward to doing this summer, all outside of the 2 hockey leagues, 2 softball leagues, leading a small group at church, mountain biking, and all the golfing I plan on doing this summer! \u00a0Looks like it could be shaping up to be a quality summer&#8230;..and it&#8217;s only April 3rd (and my birthday in 2 hours!)!<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"spacer_\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ohhh wow, talk about a blogging hiatus!
