Reunion



This weekend, Michael and I headed down to Del Mar/San Diego to meet up with some of Michael's childhood buddies. Michael was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to play golf at Torrey Pines with Bill, then we all met up at Bill and Loretta's for a wonderful barbeque. The next morning had in store for us a beautiful walk along the shore in Del Mar with Randy and Linda. For me, it was good to finally meet everyone and put faces to names. We look forward to keeping in touch with our friends ~ old and new.

USA Water Polo





This afternoon, Michael and I spent a few hours at the Dos Pueblos High School pool watching the USA Water Polo team play the team from Australia. These guys were BIG! and tough! and fast! As fun as it was to watch this aggressive, demanding game, the BEST part was Michael's opportunity to meet up with one of his former players from San Marcos, Terry Schroeder. Terry is the head coach for Team USA, a four-time Olympic athlete and a legendary water polo player. Good luck in Beijing!!

Waiting for Jeopardy



I was tuned into the Stanley Cup Final while waiting for Jeopardy to begin. I honestly can't remember the last time I sat to watch a hockey game. When I was a kid, I used to watch a semi-pro team play quite regularly. The game tonight just about made up for all those years I missed as it went into a third overtime period. It was SO exciting, I'm planning on tuning in again on Wednesday for Game 6! Oh, got to go...Jeopardy's on!
