I am a wimp. I need to get out more for things that aren't with the neighbors and kids. I'll keep an eye on the game watches. Evenings tend to work better for me so basketball season may be better. As an FYI, when I watch games at a bar I tend to not pay much attention to the game.

I used to say the same thing, but since they're all ISU fans, they all seem to be pretty focused on the game as it's playing. And the ones that aren't, I just ignore even if they're talking to me.

Or texts. Especially not the texts. Unless the movies are essentially moving pictures of the texts than I really don't want to see either equally badly.

And no sound. Unless it's background music 'cause you do seem to have decent taste in music.

Whatevs. Nickels never complained about my texts or my videos.

Probably a different story now, but still!

Nope. I think there's only one soccer player on the team and she's a bundle of energy.

I found out one of the girls' dad works at the bike shop. We just bought my older daughter's bike from him last weekend. If vball had started a couple of weeks earlier, maybe we could have gotten a discount. Probably not though when they realize how little I know about volleyball. I guess it's lucky I'm just an assistant and my job primarily consists of picking up balls during service practice and rolling them back to the other side of the court.

In other words, the same thing CyBirdy's kids do for ISU matches? :oops:

Off to tile shop. Not something that's really in my guy wheelhouse of skill sets. Likely gonna be a swing and a miss. It's why all of my rooms are painted white.

During soccer practice a couple weeks ago, my daughter launched a shot that deflected off a toe and hit her teammate in the forehead. Later, during 1v1 drills, the same girl took a ball to the stomach. Yet later, while playing goalie, someone hit a shot that bounced off the crossbar and hit her in the back of the head. "She belted out, "Oh come on!" and everyone was cracking up.

The freshman volleyball team is still working on playing as a team--communication, knowing rotations, calling the ball. There is one player in particular who is used to more physical contact in basketball. The oldest, who is about 5-6" shorter than this gal, has been body checked by her multiple times and even had her hand stepped on. She got lucky that was't worse than just some swelling . . .

If it's floor tile, here's the extent of my knowledge, start in the middle. I imagine N-dubs and BC and a lot of other people probably can help out quite a bit more.

UCF closed for classes until the 18th. So closed from from 7th-18th. Can't imagine what some of the other campuses that got hit worse are doing.

They have about 1,000 National Guard using the football arena as a staging area.

Good dropoff today.
A little surprised how aggressive some people seem to get out of there after their child is dropped off and others are heading in. Z is in the building long before their rush to leave, but it seems a bit hasty.

Also wrote a page just now that left me saying, "Whoa, that was good."
I should explain - liked for the writing, not the preschool rush hour traffic.
