as did this guy.

 

 

 

Dirty Duathlon... pictures and story to come...

La Grange

We stayed in La Grange again tonight. If it sounds familiar it's probably from this famous ZZ Top song, or this Tony award-winning Broadway play, or this Oscar and Golden Globe-nominated movie.

And no... it's not there anymore ;-)

Blast from the past!

Just found this picture... I think it's from the '03 Junior Olympics semis... that girl beat her :-(

The Sports Page

First-ever softball game!

On first base listening to her coach's instructions... and don't their uniforms look cool?

Running so fast she loses her helmet!

The ump's call: "SAFE!"

All smiles after scoring her first run!

A very serious second baseman!

Bicycle built for THREE!

When I was a kid we used to go to this pizza place that had two guys, Bubba and Jack, one on an upright piano and another on a drumset (or trumpet or something... it's been a while). They would play traditional favorites and invite the customers to sing along. Their down-home repertoire included "Yes, Sir, That's My Baby," "Yankee Doodle Dandy," "Give my Regards to Broadway," and my all-time favorite "Bicycle Built for Two":

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet
Upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two

Michael, Michael
Here is your answer true.
I'm not crazy
All for the love of you.
If you can't afford a carriage,
There won't be any marriage.
'Cause I'll be d***ed,
If I'll be crammed
On a bicycle built for two!

Jack is gone, but Bubba is still playing... now for 38 years!

Anyway, I digress... we just got a triple-tandem... that's right... a tandem for three people. It's soooo cool!

STORM race at Flat Rock Ranch

Only a minute into the race and she already had mud on her face :-) Another victory and only one race away from clinching the state championships.
