Saturday evening – hot lax day

Leave a comment

Hot lax day.. title says it all.Gabe and I are down in Albany at a mid summer lacrosse shoot out.. Gabes team, VT Tribe played 4 games in 90+ degree weather.. it was scorching (though anything above 60 is scorching for me)..

Despite the heat.. and the losses, the kids had fun.. I was able to keep myself busy by extracting interesting stories from the other parents.. .. which I love doing.. I really do like the kids and parents involved in this sport.

 

By 5:30 the kids and the parents were all pretty worn out..

Here’s why..

OK.. we’re all going out to get something to eat. more later..

Friday night – Albany

Leave a comment

Greetings from Albany NY. Gabe and I are down here for a summer Lacrosse tournement.. We came down after work with our friends the Moscas.. uneventful drive.. we did stop to show our friends the Time Cycle . It was good to see it’s rusting hulk again.. I’d really like to get it running again.

The hotel we’re staying in is absolutely fulll of lacrosse kids.. they’re not hard to spot.. they’re the ones that carry around their lacrosse sticks everywhere they go.. in the hotel lobby. in the restaurant. Elizabeth pointed out ow strange that was.. folks would think it really odd if Hockey folks brought in their sticks.. and folks would be positively scared if baseball kids were always swinging bats inside.

I’m going running with Bucky at 6L30 tomorrow morning.. so I’ll sign off here..
More from the games tomorrow..
nite all, nite sam

Wednesday night – Samstones at home

Leave a comment

Ahh.. back at home to a very busy day.. It’ is about 2:20 am.. and I’m just finishing work for the day..

lots of stuff pending at work.. I did take a very nice break this evening for a samstones making and pizza at the house.

It’s always a good thing when we sit down with friends and make the stones.  It’s good to think of sam as we shape and stamp the clay.

We’re going through them as fast as we can make them these days.. Jen estimated there must be more than 10,000 samstone out there.

 

OK.. Long day again tomorrow.. gotta sleep.. oy.. 2:30  and I woke at 5 .. that’s a 21.5 hour day..

nite all, nite Sam
