Shine On, Star Sailors!!!


The season is over. OLSotS took first and second place in our two divisions. Not bad, eh?

[--insert happy dance here--]

I've said it so many times that I'm probably starting to sound like a scratched CD (broken-record is just so passé.) These kids are fantastic!

It has been an honor to serve as bowling coach. I've learned a whole lot about communicating with kids, and I've had a bunch of fun in the process. They all worked so hard, and kept trying even though at times it could be discouraging. "Keep it on the lane," Coach Roger would say to the kids, like he said to me so many years ago. Well, based on their results, and constantly climbing scores, it would seem that they've learned from us also. I hope that they'll have us back again next year.

I'd also like to say thank-you to all the kids and parents for the great gifts. The Star blanket has been great for keeping my legs warm during late night baby feedings. The matching shirt and onesie is totally cute and I can't wait 'till André can fit it so we can take father-son photos. And the Andiamo gift card will be great for a special date night with my wife, Christa. Also, Coach Roger says "thank you," for the gas card.
