The 2007 Dong Bei Ball Hockey Playoff Results are in!

An intense and entertaining tournament final ended a month of constant hockey hype today at DMLIS. Hockey hockey hockey; play, watch, talk about it, repeat. After a good season, today was a disappointing loss for us hopefuls, 2-3 in sudden death. Shucks... time to celebrate anyways and then let the battle wounds fade. Dad, you watched last year and I think this year was even more exciting!

The Constitution, Federalism and what I want to be when I grow up

Chapter test day has come and gone once more in Ms. Kothlow's Social Studies class. Some students showed their stuff in their knowledge of Canadian politics and others showed it the most in the bonus question. This time I asked: What do you want to be when you grow up?
"When I grow up I want to be a good person. I want to be a good man, a good husband, and a good father."
"I will be a good mother that will tell my children to study for Social Studies tests."
Good ones, kids.

Friends who make their dreams come true

My dear friend Emily made it to Everest base camp this week and just in the off chance she ever reads this, I feel grateful to have friends who can inspire me by following their hearts and enduring the difficulties they are led through. Come home safe, I miss you.

Thailand

We weren't the only ones enjoying our shelter from the rains this morning. This bird just would not be frightened from our porch, courage built on soggy desperation.
