Que pasa homies.  Welcome back to In the Mixx. Well, after taking my little Kenzie to all her gymnastic competitions, what seems like every weekend, driving out of town to cities I haven’t even been to, I have to say someday I hope she makes it to the Olympics. Que suave if she does.

That’s one reason I haven’t been writing and keeping you informed on what’s happening in this city — by the time I get home, well, you know all I’m thinking about is that beautiful bed of mine, lol ...  but this time we got back early. So let’s get In the Mixx and see what’s going on this weekend...
