I pretty much stayed off the computer.. tried to stay off the phone.. hung out with family some.. cut the crass, puttered in the lab..\u00a0\u00a0 Last night Mica came over and I helped eher work on her final project for school.. A loight up dress.

Today&#8217;s games were played in pouring (!!!) rain.. thoguh now thunder\/lightening. Again, gabe played well.. despite inches of\u00a0 water on the field.\u00a0\u00a0 I love watching him run !.. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun0610\/jun0610028.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun0610\/jun0610030.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun0610\/jun0610031.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">At times you could hardly see the fueld for the rain.. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun0610\/jun0610033.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun0610\/jun0610035.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">It was 54 when they started.. it has &#8216;warmed&#8217; to 57 buty the end of play\u00a0 Gabe was freezing and soaked btthe time the third game was called due to soggy fields.\u00a0 <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/jun0610\/jun0610037.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div align=\"left\">In the spirit of &#8216;untangling&#8217; I spent the resto of the afternoon untangling two bins of wall wart transformers and electronics cables.
