Why I Could Never Be a Competitive Athlete

Stop your chuckling. No, it is not my lack of skill, fitness or drive – read on… This week at basketball was a rough one. Of my seven member team, one was out injured and one was on vacation so I picked up two subs – some former teammates who are were awesome enough to…

Go Seahawks!

It’s been a couple of years, but I finally made it back to a Seahawks game! My boss is a season ticket holder and was put of town this past weekend. He gave his tickets to my co-worker while I was out of the office, but it turned out that he couldn’t use them so…

Sports Time

To give you an idea of what life in my family is like… Munchkin had a fastpitch double header today. I sent her a text earlier to see if the games had been canceled due to rain. Her response was that the games were still on but she’d be late because she had a midterm.…

Ris on Glow… er, Goal

The Games are all done, my team came in second! We made some mistakes, but bless their hearts – they didn’t bench me like some of the other teams did with their bonus players. I played with such a nice team. I finally got a pic of Ris in the net, with head-to-toe deckage in…

My Finger

I’m feeling broken, yet good today. I’m broken because of being active, so it could be worse for sure. Last week we had a double header for basketball and shortly in to the first game I jammed my index finger on my left hand. It smarted, but I didn’t think much of it. During the…

Pat Summitt

There are really no words that can describe how incredibly sad I was upon learning that Pat Summitt was diagnosed with Early-Onset Dementia. My friend Teg sent me the news about 20 minutes after it was released and I had to take a moment at my desk to let is digest. If you know much…

Fox Girls in the Post-Season

Both Munchkin’s and Rugrat’s teams made their respective post-seasons. Yay! On Friday, I was able to make Munchkin’s first game down in Portland and get back up north for Rugrat’s early evening game. Bro and SIL had the same idea, even stopped a the Nike outlet on the way back up, too. Sadly, Munchkin’s team…

My Arse is Sore

My friend Miller has been mountain biking for a few years now, and is encouraging some of us slackers to take up the sport. So when there was an opportunity to bid on a group mountain biking clinic at an auction, she rounded up some troops and won us a 3-hour clinic led by the…

Madness 2011 Begins

How was that for Second and Third Round craziness?? I was lucky enough to witness two of the crazy upsets in person, as I was in Denver watching the action live along with my teammates Ash and Darce (who hooked me up with the tickets – thanks, Darcie!) and five others all connected by Darcie.…
