Re-Entry

Well tomorrow we will be leaving the Green Mountain State heading back to Bunkytown. I must say I'm having a hard time leaving here. It has been an amazing 2 1/2 months. My usual re-entry time is about 4 weeks. I just have a hard time getting back into the swing of things. There are so many coaching changes at work and of course the Volleyball season will be getting underway without our M-Loo. Maybe I will boycott the first season of the new coach. . . . I'm looking forward to being able to blog with T-Money. We will have so much catching up to do. Of course Mojo I have missed and can't wait to start riding again. We will keep you posted from the road. Good luck to B-Money in Boise. Happy Birthday Tim . . . love you and miss you.

It's quiet around the department. Lots of folks on vacation. The silence is a little depressing, and since missing the ol' gals, I called Specs and ordered my favorite.

Coach Carson stopped by, it's a little odd that he's back, but there is a nice comfort level in his return, although a little surreal. It feels like I've been turned back three years.

New vb coach has her door shut all of the time and it bugs the crap-noids out of me. What's up with the secrecy? God bless M-Loo's open-door policy.

B-Money slid horribly into home plate during practice last night. Had him at the doctor's office, but good news, no break. He's in for some tough love rehab. Hopefully, he can play in regionals this weekend in Boise. If not, maybe we'll give coach Marcel a yell. Not!

Coach Binford needs to have her baby. She knows it as well. She's helped fill the work place void in the absence of Weezy.

EJ is gone, some new dude from LSU is on his way in. Football turf is close to reality.

Until Weezy's return, it's ...

A Summer Haiku

I think all of us are familiar with the ancient Japanese form of poetry called haiku-based on 17 syllables in lines of 5-7-5. If not, you just learned something new. Here's my attempt to recap our baseball-filled five day stay in Glendive, which saw b-monies team win the state title. Next week we travel to Boise for regionals. Hope all is well, t-money, out.

the boys of summer
baseball is for kids at heart
happy state champions

nine and ten-year-olds
giving their all for glory
beneath scorching sun

the crack of the bat
the hard smacking of leather
running around the bases

loud parents screaming
innocence oblivious
playing just for fun

bozeman bombers win
kids jump and gloves fly skyward
state champs, mom and pie

day after

past bedtime

Our Family

July 4th celebration

Funny thing, aerial fireworks are illegal in Carson, CA and is a felony if you get caught with them. So you would think all citizens in the area would try to abide by the law. Think again! In our neighborhood alone we had firework displays that would put Disneyland to shame.

It was my first time home on the 4th since 1993. Can someone tell me why my dad feels the need to have a bonfire when it is about 80 degrees out? And why do we think its safe for 3 years olds to hold sparklers in their hands (it is fire)?

The 4th definitely has a different feel depending on what region you are celebrating in. Normally in Bozeman it gets a bit cold at times and could rain or even snow. I could only imagine how it is in the northeast region. In the southwest it's hotter than heck and you can't really tell if you are hearing fireworks or gun fire.

Happy Independence Day America.

Wedding Time!

Hi bloggers. . . . this is Weezy and I'm happy to say that we will be downloading a video of two of my favorite people in the world. Kathleen and ML Scott. They are super talented, funny and are loved by my family. I spent a week in New York and it was such a wonderful time it is hard to put the special moments into words. It was great to see so many of my brothers friends and spend time with them. We are off Thursday morning for Austin, Texas for the wedding of my niece Brit. I will be giving updates all weekend since I will finally have a wireless connection or DSL this dial up is killing us!
