Second Chance

Tomorrow night I get my second chance to notch my first career coaching victory. All you Bloomington friends should find their way out to Brown County at 6pm to watch some high school basketball. I'm getting a couple of varsity of for a couple of quarters as well, so there's a pretty good chance of getting the win. Actually, I think we might win without the varsity guys....here's to hoping I don't eat this words!

Golf is Cool

Reading my first issue of Golf Digest (yeah for expiring airline miles....or should I say: yeah for Romania!) this weekend, and they had an interesting article about a specific golf ruling. Or rather, rulings.

Say, for instance, you hit it into a crowd of spectators. Say you hit a spectator. Then, let's assume this spectator falls on top of your ball. The article explained that there are different rulings depending on whether the spectator is actually alive or dead.

Are you kidding me?!?

Out of the Way

Well, that's out of the way. I picked up my first loss on Wednesday night: 34-50. It was a tough game against a pretty good JV, and I knew my guys were going to need a game or two to realize how quick the game is. But, I hope we learned a lot, and next weekend we have two very winnable games, so hopefully we'll get my record above .500 real soon!

No Sleep Tonight

The fun and games start tomorrow night--my first game as a basketball coach. I don't expect to sleep very well tonight--too hyped up. I'm excited. I'm not real sure about the team yet, so this should be interesting, educational, and hopefully a lot of fun.

Everyone is welcome to come out to South Knox High School tomorrow at 6pm!

Are dates tiring?

So, how much effort are dates? Like, do they physically make you tired? I had a conversation with a friend recently about this. I'm not saying do they make you nervous--I'm nervous whenever I'm on one. But, my attitude is usually "whatever, I'm just going to be myself, and if she doesn't like it, tough." Maybe it's because I've had such success in dating (stop laughing!) that I can be so cool about it. But seriously, after the first couple minutes of nervousness, that usually goes away, too. Does that make me weird? Do you need to hit me upside the head or something?

I'm scared

If you look up "rabbit signs of affection" on google, I am hit #2. I don't know if I should cry.....or go for #1. Which is the cooler option? Or maybe, which is the least scary?

Fishies Experiment, Part 2

So, I got a couple of fishies (for my *little* pond out back) this summer to see if they could last the summer. Actually, there were three nice goldfish and a few algae eaters (maybe 3 or 4 of them?). Now, unfortunately the water isn't the clearest, so I don't have a great view of how many may or may not still be alive, but I do know one thing--two of my algae eaters have kicked the can (can fishes kick?) this past week. Apparently freezing temperatures at night were too much for them. Now, as of a week ago I had at least one goldfish still alive, so we'll see. I think the little pond is deep enough not to freeze over through the winter, but we shall see about that, as well as how they handle a winter of cold. Regardless, it is sad to see my fishies pass away...

"We trust...

...that you're a fine, upstanding, God-fearing gentleman with Christian morals and principles who will set an example and a standard of leadership for our boys. Tell me, do you believe in man-to-man or zone defense?"

Have I mentioned basketball practice starts on Monday? Woohoo!
