Jo Jock!

Chris and I just joined the new gym in town. It's a 24/7 facility so we can go 'power-lift' any time we get a wild hair to do so. he he! I'm bound and determined to get healthy this year. Figure if I put it our there for the world to see, I'll have to stick to it! Maybe I'll give Mitch a run for his money at the next marathon in Fargo?!?!?!? One of my life goals is to compete in a triathlon. Just don't know about that swimming in open water. Too many memories of 'Jaws' in my mind. That may work to my advantage. Feel something touch my toe and swim like hell. Either that or panic and drown. he he! Well, it's something to work toward and get me healthy if nothing else.

Old Pro State

Well, Old Pro State has come and gone without a trophy yet again this year. Wahhh! It's so disappointing. The guys lost every game by 1 lousy point. It was only 100+ degrees both days this year so it couldn't have been the heat! I couldn't imagine playing out there. I was dripping with sweat just watching them. Only 2 more tournaments to go. Rec IV State is in Fargo on August 19th and 20th. I can let you know where if anyone is interested in coming. Wish us luck!

McQuade Weekend

Well, I didn't get any pictures taken. I was too busy cheering on the team and forgot about it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. he he! Anyway, Chris's team didn't fair so well. They lost their first game 14-13. They played well but just couldn't pull it off. They ended up losing their second game as well 6-1. The other team scored all their runs in the first 2 innings so they held them off but just couldn't score against them. We tracked the team and they won a couple more by the same margins. Very tough defensive team. So better luck next year, I guess. It was a fun time as usual. Chris has 4 more tournaments plus coed yet so we're not near done. One tournament is in Bismarck, one in Grand Forks and I believe the rest are in Fargo. He plays with a bunch of kids in Jamestown as well as with his team in Valley City. The Jamestown team is doing really well. They are hoping to place at state. I will be taking pictures next tournament. Hopefully, we'll have trophy pics!
