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!

Hi you two! You are so true in saying the years fly by. I remember meeting your boys for the first time I think they were in grade school, although it seems like yesterday, it's been about 6 or 7 years hasn't it? Hope to get together with you during the holidays especially now that we have a tentative closing date on our old house. If it all comes together okay, we're having a party!
