Again, not much going on this past weekend but here are a few updates:

Drew - the varsity football team lost on Saturday afternoon to Waterford HS - so East is out of the playoffs for this year. They have yet to advance beyond round two ever in the history of the modern playoff system. Better luck to next year's team.

Ben - his team finished up their footbal season by losing to Riverside in a freshman / sophomore team match up. I think Ben had a good season this year having played many minutes on both sides of the ball. He had a couple fumble recoveries and a couple of kick returns to boot. He's looking forward to the weightroom opening up so he can begin preparations for next year.

Lynne and I and Ben went for a bike ride yesterday (10/28) out on the bike path from Theinsville to Cedarburg. We stopped at Ben's old friend's home (Tony Mandela) and as luck would have it Tony wasn't home but thankfully his Dad arrived as we were just preparing to hit the trail. We talked a while - it was good to see past acquaintances again. It appears that the Cedarburg freshman team lost only one game this year and are poised to do major damage next year.

Lynne and I took Kirby for a walk along the Tosa biking trails and he had a blast jumping into and out of the river playing fetch and chase the ducks. Boy did he smell like a nasty wet dog after all of that - wait a minute - he was a nasty wet dog.

And after all of that Drew, Jenni - girlfriend, and Ben and Lynne took out the old photoalbums and had a blast looking at all the pictures from our family's past. Lots of laughing and pointing of fingers - all appeared to have a good time of it. Wow do the years fly by!

That's all for now - see ya!

New post - not much going on in our little piece of the world.

Lynne - Lynne and I headed up to Stevens Point last weekend to attent the WORS end of the year banquette. Lynne scored a Cliff BAR / SHOT swag bag. Added to that she took home first place age group in the Marathon Series and in the Cross Country Series.

Team Extreme took home Team Participation and Competition awards for the unlimited team catagory.

Drew - the Tosa East Varsity football team ended their season with two losses (1 to Brook Central & the other to Sussex) finishing with a 6 - 3 overall record. They had clinched a state tournament playoff berth the week prior to the Brook Central game. In their first playoff game last night they won quite convincingly vs. Westosha Central. Up next is the second round game vs Waterford to be contested Saturday (10/27).

Ben - his Tosa East freshman team finished their year off having no wins. Disappointing? Yes. Ben really was given a good opportunity to play and show what he can do this year. He played Defensive Outside Linebacker and Offensive Wide receiver. A combined Sophomore / Freshman team plays Wednesday evening in a rain out makeup game vs. Riverside - this game is actually a rescheduled JV game with no juniors playing.

Me - having a so so year on the racing front (mountain biking) I'm already in training mode for another big year in 2008. Two climbing trips are planned - one to Colorado and the other to Mount Hood. In addition I'm thinking about trying to get back into a couple of duathlons or triathlons next year as well. I'll see how the knees hold out with an increase in the amount of running that is required.
