Visit to the wavepool

We all got in, but I'm the only one that braved the waves to ski. I think I'm ready for a rodeo now.

Boating day gone bad: Somebody floated their jeep along with the boat. At least the windshield wipers still worked.

The Lookouts blow it... AGAIN

Ryan and I went to a Lookouts game last night. It's so nice to have an evening off since I'm going to school 3 nights a week! (I do not appreciate the fact that I have a 10 page paper to write before Thursday.) I've decided Ryan is either very lucky or the Lookouts girls like him because every time (twice) I've gone with him, we get free stuff. This time some guy gave us a free ticket to get in so we only paid $4 for the other ticket. Once we sat down the hostesses asked if we wanted to be the fans of the game and get to move to better seats. So in the middle of the 1st inning we found ourselves in $12 worth of seats. Ryan wanted to throw the first pitch but guess that will have to wait for next time. Unfortunately, the Lookouts blew their 3-0 lead in the 9th inning when the Mobile Baybears got 4 runs with 2 outs! 3 of the runs were on a full count homerun hit by the first baseman. Then the Lookouts manager got thrown out of the game for arguing about a call. I've pretty much decided going for this hometeam is relatively worthless, although, the game certainly was entertaining...

Maiden Voyage of Summer 07

I went out on the water with the Heilmans for the first time of the summer! We went above the dam, around downtown and out along the river going south.

Phone cameras are not so bad, if I can learn to keep my fingers out of the way...

The riverview

Well, I never would have thought

HowManyOfMe.com

There are 22 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Surprisingly, according to this website there are 27,164 people with my first name in the United States. Considering that I've only ever met or seen one person with exactly the same first name, that seems like a lot. We won't even go into how many people have the same last name, it's 102nd most popular!
