GHOULIES moving towards the islands. (Page 20)

Forget about half way in between, let's go somewhere tropical.

Good morning Ghoulies!

I think I did well last night. We went to TGIFriday's. I did have a bacon cheese burger, but I only ate a few fries, less than 1/3 of what was on my plate. They usually have some sort of seasoning on, they did not, so I could pass them up. The boy ate a bacon cheeseburger, too, made me feel better since he was eating. He actually came home from practice last night in a good mood. They didn't do as much conditioning. They started working on different plays and what positions the kids are going to play. Can't say guys, there are 2 girls on the team. Looks like Caleb is going to be a Guard, and a Defensive End. He's cool with that.

The boy leaves today to go on a big fishing trip. I'm a little anxious about it. This is his first big trip without a parent. He's going with my dad, and my brother will be there, but neither of them are known for being overly responsible. I think he'll be fine though. Right?

I'll be back in a bit. The boy and I are going to go do some football conditioning. After that I'm taking the kids into the college and we will have about an hour to swim, then I need to drop him off at my dads. I think the girl and I are going to take the pups to the lake today and let them play in the water. Wynn will love it, Milo not as much, but he'll be fine. 

I'll be back this afternoon. Have a slam dunk day Ghoulies!

So that means never. (just pulling your leg )

How is the voting going? I can vote, but I can't find out how you are doing.... so I'll just vote.

Well hello there.

It's been a fun, but tiring day. The boy and I WORKED for about 40 minutes this morning. We ran a lap around the football field to warm up. After that it was short sprints, a drill where we had cones set up in a 10yrd square, we sprinted up, shuffled sideways, ran backwards, then shuffled the other side, then started all over again. Did that 10 times, then we changed the first move to a bear crawl, and we did that way 5 times. Next we did some drills up a hill that is about this steel / and 12-15 feet high depending on where you were lined up on it. We did several sprints up it, then bear crawls, then ran up backwards, then sideways. After that was a few 100 yard sprints. I hurt in places I didn't even know I had. I worked as hard as I could, and I pushed him, there was no lolly-gagging. 

After that we came home and picked up Keri and the pups, he said he wanted to go to the lake with us. We took them up and Wynn, my golden lab, jumped right in, Milo, my Great Dane, just ran around. He looked like he wanted to get in. When Caleb took the kayak out he was standing on the edge whining and looking like he wanted to jump into the kayak.

At one point Wynn ran down from us a few yards and jumped in. I could tell the way she want under when she jumped that it was deep. It wasn't deep right in front of us. Milo jumped in after her. She swam away, he doesn't swim. He was able to grab the edge, but he couldn't get out. We tried to lure him down to where it was shallower but he wouldn't move. Fortunately I still had workout clothes on, and they were wicking fabric. I waded in, and was almost chest deep, to help him get out. It was all mud underneath. Caleb stayed by me with the kayak and I held on to a handle with one hand, and pushed on Milo's butt while he crawled out with the other. Good times.

Keri and I are home now, need to mow soon, the boy is heading north. I hope they catch a lot of salmon on their trip. The leader of the trip called up to the boat captain a few days ago and he said the salmon are running and they're catching a lot. I hope our guys catch some.

Sounds like an excellent day, for everyone except Milo!

Good morning Ghoulies!

Just in case this is true Kim and I may have to go home from Key West with one of you.
