Two things to share in this entry because I haven't posted in so long. First is that I finished my basketball season tonight. We finished with an overall record of 9-3 and a conference record of 7-3. We won the Buck Dellinger Holiday Tournament at the beginning of the season. We finished 2nd in the conference. We were the only team to beat the #1 team in our conference - and we beat 'em GOOD! It was a good season. I had a great team of girls and some very supportive parents. Unfortunately most of them are going onto high school next year. I'll have five returning players from this year's squad. It was a good team to "re-cut" my teeth for coaching basketball. I haven't coached a basketball team in three years and I think we did pretty good despite that fact. My body is realizing that my coaching job is "over" for the year. I've been coaching one team or another for 7 months straight! I've already got volleyball players asking when we're going to start our spring workouts!? I told them to let me unwind from basketball season and then we'd get into the groove of workouts again. I'm giving myself two weeks of leaving school by 4:00 at the latest - most days it will be sooner!
Secondly the picture above is from some crazy adventures this weekend. I travelled quite a bit and didn't stay in one place for too long. I reconnected with some great people and became quite popular by phone this weekend too. I had some good time in the car with some sermons on CD and my IPod filled with Jesus music. It filled my need to drive for awhile and I even survived driving through the snow in the above picture. I'm pretty tired from missing my Sunday afternoon nap and I missed my weekly visit with the parents and the Dog. Overall, I'm in an unwinding phase for a few weeks so I can get geared up for what I'm teaching my crazy 8th graders in the coming weeks. We're finally getting to some good stuff that I love to teach. OK, so hopefully that's enough of a post to satisfy my fans for now. I hope you're all doing well!
