Just call me He-Man

Tuesday night I went and played a few hours of Volleyball. I played well: I spiked well, played good defense, set well, and just did everything well. It was nice to play in a situation where everyone moved on defense the way they were supposed to. Then on Wednesday night my un-victorious team and I played a double header of Volleyball. The first match we played against a team with one all star who I had played again in the past. He definitely did not belong in this league. Despite them having an all-star we made the first two sets close, the second ending at 25-23. In the third set, the all-star was not there and we slaughtered them. During the second set a first for our team occurred. Our play had forced another team to call time-out.

During the second match, we wiped the floor with the other team. We played well as a team, played good defense, and generally came together as a group. We needed that. In the second match our play again caused the other team to call time out. The team we played in the second match had beaten us earlier in the season, so it was nice to show them we could play.

I sped from the Volleyball to play some softball. I got there in time for part of the second game. As I was arriving, our team was giving up tons of runs because of errors. We were down 12-2 by time I got in the game. My first at bat I hit the ball well to the opposite field, but right at the guy. 10 feet in any direction and that was extra bases. Oh well. My second at bat I hit a hard line drive to first, but no one was there to cover, so I drove in two runs. My third at bat I had guys on first and second and no outs. I watched as the left-center fielder moved more to left field because I had hit opposite field twice. I decided then and there to hit it to center. I crushed it. Nearly hit the fence on the fly. I ran hard and made an inside the park homer (I almost caught the guy who was on first). I went wild with a celebration and we pulled the game closer. At the end of the inning it was 14-13. Then time ran out. The league we play in is a timed league where no new innings begin after an hour of play. Doh. We almost made it back and then fell flat. Made my celebration seem ridiculous. Oh well. I went 2-3 with 5 RBI's.

Overall a good night for sports for me.

Don't ask about poker.

Joss Whedon is my Master now.

I am hopeful for a good end to the Star Wars era, and some of the reviews I've heard about or seen have suggested that this will be the best of the new movies, but still sub-par compared to the originals. Wookies don't do it for me. Apparently if Revenge of the Sith included Vampires I would love it.

It's Going to be a Cold Weekend

Free Frosty's at Wendy's. I imagine they will be the short ones, but hey, its free. If it's hot where you are at, have one this weekend. Just tell 'em Brad sent ya.

Mother's Day Weekend

So, I took off for Bend on Friday afternoon. Friday night I had dinner with my grandfather's bowling team (just to make it all good, I wore the swass bowling shirt that used to belong to him). Saturday was good. Golfed. I hit 5 drives on 9 holes that were 280+ and STRAIGHT. Two of my drives were over 300. If I only had a short game. Afterwards, we went "fishing". I'd call it boating. My grandparents came out onto Ochocco with us. The weather was nice. We didn't catch any fish, but it was like a picnic on water. I really like my dads new boat. Saturday night we went to Kahneeta for some gambling. I got there just as they were opening a second table. I got into some interesting conversations, and found out about bodog.com, which apparently gives some good bonuses, but when I checked it out, the bonuses were okay. I might still check it out. For those of you who read for poker content at least, the othere could care less. Anyway, I made $166 on Saturday night and felt pretty good about my play.

Sunday, I played cards with the family, and then the weather got good enough for me to mow the lawn for mi madre and pulled some weeds. Came back to PDX on Monday morning and today was a waste. That is my update.
