It's 8:36 and I just got home having left the house at 8:00 this morning. Worked until 4:45 and then, as coach td pointed out, I drove straight to Luna Pier for some 20mph winds and 5+ foot waves. These are the days we wait for all summer long. I was lucky enough to escape dad duties today as Bubbles is staying the night at her mom's house. That way, she can ride the bus with her little sister in the morning making sure that everything goes well on her first time on the bus.

My schedule right now is wake up; do this; do that; do the other thing and then realize that the entire day is gone and it's time for bed. Hell, I still haven't eaten dinner, yet. And, it was about this time yesterday that I ate dinner, too.

bigbro and froggy stopped by at Luna Pier with the dogs tonight. They watched me ride for a while and froggy got some video which bigbro promised to email to me (or FTP... whichever). I'll post it when I get a chance. Tonight's riding was awesome! The waves were big, even though there was still a lot of chop. I finally got my timing right on my jumps right about the time that bigbro and froggy got there. Hopefully, they got a couple of them on video.

XC practice: Wow, that hour goes fast. I tried out a new game yesterday called Monopoly Run. I made it up and set it up and Bubbles's mom was kind enough to be my banker. I learned that 28 kids playing the game requires more than $7K in play money. I learned that these kids are patient with me. I learned that two water balloons can be worth up to $1,000 in an auction after the game.

Coach Sobie had some suggestions on how to improve the game. I'll put them in place for next Monday's game and see how it works out. Chaotic would be the best way to describe the game last night.
