Austins team lost a close one against Ankeny. They played well for the most part. Austin did not quarterback. Of course the kid that did, threw 4 interceptions two for touchdowns. That's besides the point. He has a tougher football mentality then Austin does, the one thing I wanted to make sure he had or try to help him get....I remember mine and it finally all clicked when I was a junior in school..happens at different ages for all these kids. You can tell by watching them, some have it.... Austin did return several punts, handled the ball fine. He did strip the ball from Ankeny on their opening drive resulting in a recovery for us. Anyway they played hard and didn't give up.

Blaise game was fun to watch(flag football). He was quarterback for the second half. I have to admit his passes were very nice! This surprises me. I need to work with him more, but it's not the same with him as it was Austin. Blaise doesn't really care about playing. Austin doesn't really care about improving.......They are themselves, some for the wrong reasons. In the end, they are themselves.

Weekend hmmm?

Can they beat Chicago?

Due Date looks good

Note: Don't brush teeth, then eat cottage cheese....

Deep Thought of the Day: I thought a good way to get people to dig your flower beds for free would be to call the police and say you buried some bodies in your backyard. But here's the catch: They dig everywhere, not just where you tell them to.

Golf Ball hitting steel at 150 mph

Amazing how long these balls last, maybe that's why the Pro's use new balls ever time they play...

After taking pool league off for a year for apparently the wrong reasons, I came back strong last night and punished the guy I played. I think I got those frustrations out, so I'll be going back to being average.....or maybe even below. We won easily...now I'm the damn anchor, least for a week.

Got smoked again last night....thank god for those adult beverages to ease the pain.

Two games tonight, luckily both in Indianola......

Civil What?

Army crew tears apart, rebuilds Jeep in four minutes

One reason I have always had my eyes open looking for an old Willey's. Simplistic!

Pool league tonight & Kickball tonight too....

Jennifer is having a party for work and full adult beverages are supplied on Friday. Is Marshalltown too far or too close??

Two boys, two starting quarterbacks on Thursday.....Wish it was as good as it sounds. I think Blaise's team they are just taking turns every game....When he puts the pads on next year he will be well over weight for a back position.

Marijuana on Four Ballots

This Civil War thing is getting old!!

Softball on Monday night was normal, didn't break anything...I think I need to get off that kick....

Deep Thought of the Day: It would be terrible if the Red Cross Bloodmobile got into an accident. No, wait. That would be good because if anyone needed it, the blood would be right there.

Does not seem possible that Austin is 15 today, I can still remember realizing it was a boy and how happy I was. Not that I would not be happy with a girl. It's the I know what boys do with girl thing.....

H.O.P.A.....funny

Media player got corrupted yesterday.

Friday night Austin and I went to SouthRidge and saw The Expendables.....little violent....but exactly what was promised...Wow that mall, if you can call it that. Kinda filled with Hispanics...nothing wrong with that, just felt different. Maybe I should get out more.

Game on Saturday not pleasant...I would have hoped ISU could have given some fight....

Spent all day yesterday cleaning and organizing for Austins b'day last night. Talk about relatives not wanting to go home. Just kidding, it was a fun time. Except for Jaren backing over my sign( I think it was intentional). I actually got to see some of Michael Vick playing between the kids running around and grandma asking questions. He looked really good.

Jaren and Dad actually complimented me on my barn, about how neat it was and things like that don't come by everyday. This is after I've had it for 15 years. Now they understand why I've considered wanting to spend the money to move it with me.

Both boys have games on Thursday.

R.E.D. & Hereafter

Deep Thought of the Day: Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher. That is, I used to, until she got an unlisted number.

Friday went down to Blues on Grand with a few Kamikazes..probably be the last time I make it down there......Fun and very nice night.

Saturday didn't' exactly turn out like it was suppose to Terrance still isn't happy with me, but I did get a few things done and spent some time with my brother and parents and sister in law while not losing any money.

Sunday BBQ at Sheryl and Tyler's

About 45 minutes later.....That was a lot of fun!

Monday me and the boys did some stuff and we worked on some of Austins FB skills...but he thinks he knows it all, so it doesn't help... and Austin had FB practice that night.

Losing Plummer has bothered me more than I realized it would. Not sure why. He had tons of people that were much closer to him then I....I don't know just something. He was special in a lot of ways(and not the helmet kind). I guess he was just that kind of guy.

Austin has a game tonight at Lincoln

Blaise has had two practice for football this week.

My neighbor and his water ways....

Yesterday was a busy day to say the least

Iowa City tomorrow.....

To see the record for this rivarly...click here....

The Five Most Annoying Things About Iowa Hawkeye Fans I kinda like #6 too....These are fairly true not for all but quite a few.

Kyles site Hunt Renter went live last week. My land will be on there later today. I think it may actually be a semi-winner.

Kickball on Wednesday was interesting to say the least and no we didn't win or come close.....but it was fun.

Pool starts next week.

Are You a Facebook Narcissist?...Duh...you really need researchers to point out that i can be "a gateway for hundreds of shallow relationships and emotionally detached communication."

Have a great weekend!!
