July 1... tryouts begin...

But my daughter is in Florida! Oh, wait... long story, short, she is now with FC Dallas, Red South to be exact. As her agent, I mean parent, I get to go to tryouts without her and pick up all the paperwork. Wow, lucky me!

Go FC!!!

More tweaking to do...

But the site re-design is well on it's way! Yay! Oh, you mean you didn't know I was doing a site re-design? I guess I forgot to mention it... but it was needed, so here goes. More to follow, so stay tuned!!!

WALL-E

Plain and simple... GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

Your help is appreciated...

We have several fund-raising events going on as our daughter prepares to travel with her soccer team, Dallas Sting Black 93, to San Diego, CA for a major college showcase tournament in July! First up is a pancake breakfast to be held on May 24 at Applebees in Dallas. I know this out of the way (or not anywhere close to you!), but here's how you can help: The tickets are $7, of which the team gets $5 IF you show up to eat. However, if you don't make it out to to the breakfast, the team gets to keep the full price of the ticket! Applebees only charges for the tickets it collects, so it's a win/win for everyone!

Also, the team is putting on a golf tournament in June, so if anyone wants to put together a foursome, or if your company (or you!) would like sponsor a hole or some golf carts or something (there's a plethora of opportunities) please let us know. I have attached a flyer with more information.

Finally, the team is having a garage sale/bake sale next Saturday, May 17. If you have any items of some value you would like to donate, please let me know so we can make arrangements to take them off your hands for a good cause! If you're interested in making a trip to a garage sale (!!!), it will be held in the Kroger parking lot located here.

Could NOT pass this one up...

O.M.G. Witty, yet insightful article on a subject that gets a lot of mileage in our household, although the wife is certainly not a willing participant... lol... I particularly like how the guy from Columbia University towards the end, basically "poo-poos" the whole notion of the article... I love irony! Oh, and puns...

College Athletic Scholarships... Boom or Bust???

The NY Times is not a great news source just because it's the newspaper for NYC... it's a great news source because it puts out great stories that are not just local in slant or flavor. We are certainly hopeful that our daughter gets a scholarship to play soccer in college, but we also understand that it's not just about that. Who knows, a couple of years down the road she may decide that acting is her calling... I prefer soccer, but if that's what it comes to, then so be it... :D
