I was dead on about our softball team doing well if the girls showed up and not so well if we had too many people. We started the game 9-0 with the "starters" (i.e. the good people, of which i consider myself a good hitter, average fielder and terrible baserunner) and ended the game 9-8 after the "bench players" came in. While I was in the game ( ( Read more... )

Had a really weird thought as I went to bed last night. For about an hour and a half I lay in bed (a mattress on the floor, not really a bed) thinking that I could coach high school basketball. Maybe not varsity at first but I know I could coach JV. I started working up ways to get my ideas across to the kids and get them to work hard at school and ( Read more... )

so in the past few days i've seen x-men and da vinci code. during work some things weren't going in my way (loosing access to the only program that matters because it's export controlled for example) so i started reading movie reviews. da vinci got bashed for obvious reasons (why can't people understand it's fiction and probably didn't happen which ( Read more... )

the similarities between oak ridge and idaho falls are fairly numerous but many reasons, this summer is about ten times better than last summer. the most notable is that i know someone here from prior to summer and i actually get along with him (most of the time). it's also nice not to live in a house where everyone's constantly kicking each other ( Read more... )

to those of you whose spring break did not go as well as planned (or just sucked in general), you can add my day today to the sucky list. the one dive i was really looking forward to, our night dive, i couldn't do. we got about 30 feet under and i found that my the deeper i went, the worse the pain in my sinuses got. anyone ever see that x-files ( Read more... )

so this fish i saw the other day that looked like a rock, turns out it was a scorpion fish. name sound bad? yeah, you touch him, you go to the hospital!!! this was one mean bastard and i'm glad i didn't piss him off. with him and the hammerhead and the moray eel that was a little too intent on playing with me today, i'm glad that the saltwater ( Read more... )

Three eagle rays, two turtles, a few lobster, a good sun burn and a 10-foot hammerhead shark!!! Oh yeah, and about 40 3-4 foot tarpon. Not sure why they're cool but everyone else was oohing and ahhing. So after diving today, I took a fantastic nap and had myself one hell of a weird dream. In the dream, I watched the birth of my daughter and then ( Read more... )

Three turtles, plenty of baracuda, something that looked like a lionfish (and scared the piss out of me just as much), rainbow trout and a creme broule (spelling?) and Tyler is a very happy person. Being able to walk down a pier in the pitch black and just sit there is fantastic. It's just a shame that I received certain information 8 hours before ( Read more... )
