Shannon Forest - Game 2

The scene at the end of tonight's game... Harrison went down hard in the second half, fearing a torn ligament in his knee... we prayed for a speedy recovery and good news from the doctor.The game was a bit of a "nail-biter"; down 1-0 for most of the second half, Thomas George netter the equalizer 4 minutes from the end of regulation... Andrew Johnson blasted home a rebound with 30 seconds left in the final overtime period to avert the tie...
We will have to play better to beat Carolina Day at their place (Thursday afternoon @4:30)

The latest from my daughter (currently residing in Perth):
Hey Dad-
Well, I got my comp turned on... as long as I don't shut it down i think it can stay working for a little while. Applications randomly shut off and i have to ctrl-alt-delete and cut out processes that are running in the background a lot... you know, stuff a normal computer can handle :S

I would like to learn how to surf... I don't know how seriously I'm thinking about it, though. I'm so out of shape... and I realized that when I tried to bike to the boat harbour yesterday it was about an 18 mile endeavor... geez. I am so sore and just straight fell into bed and slept for like 10 hours last night.

So yeah, not much going on, just kids, trying to make friends and otherwise.

Love you a lot!
Kara

Tim's favorite home-baked cookies (walnut chocolate chip) ready to come out of the oven... this batch was just the way he likes 'em (a little on the doughy side).

Spartanburg Day - Game 2

We moved our record to 14-2 (7-1 in the CAA) with this afternoon's 7-0 victory... there are five games left in the regular season; the playoffs follow a single-elimination "sweet 16" format, with seeding being determined by representatives from each region of the state. There is a possibility (should we "win out") that we'll be assigned the top seed, and home games in the first two post-season contests... we can't afford to take anyone for granted, and even though we have previously beaten all three of next week's opponents, we were down 1-0 at halftime against two of them!

Scott Schroder's Birthday

Scott turned 42 today... don't know what I'd have done without him these past four years. As Middle School Assistant Principal, he and the rest of my administrative team have "covered for me" more times than I can count during the rollercoaster ride my life has been since we arrived in Asheville the summer of 2005.
He's a terrific administrator, History teacher and friend!

Last day in September!

Kara posted a bunch of pictures on her Facebook; here are three for those who haven't "friended" her yet. The first shows her with Crea (in a cemetery?) with some of the local marsupials...The Indian Ocean is a 20-minute bike ride from her house...Trigg Beach...
