Spring Carnival

Today we spent most of our time at the SRES spring Carnival. "The Boy" had a great time trying out all the games while I recruited boys for the Cub Scout Pack. We did not do too bad as we got about a dozen new boys...

O.K. I broke my promise

O.K. I said I was going to keep this updated more often and I am failing miserably. Been way busy. Just been appointed as Committee Chairman for "the boys" Cub Scout Pack. Trying to get everything good in that department. For those who don't know this position is "in charge" of all the adults, budget, awards, etc. Basically, running the Packs annual program. Now I got some great folks working with me but trying to arrange the meetings etc. has been a pretty good challenge.

I had my first meeting last Tuesday and I thought it was pretty good. It went too long though so I have to work on that. In all fairness we did have an unannounced visit by the District Executive so that threw off the meeting a bit. I am not complaining though, because he gave us some fantastic information.

O.K. I am also still doing the Den Leader thing, Soccer season just started on base (I am a coach again), I am running two websites, and getting ready for retirement. So time management is becoming a huge challenge. I did just win the Armed Services Volunteer Service Medal so some recognition there... but still maybe I should taper it down a bit.

Well got to go for now, got more "official" e-mails to go though and we just got back from Soccer practice and dinner with some friends.

Happy Monday!

Well it is still early in the day, but I am on a break and wanted to go ahead and put this out before I do anything else. Why, I don't know, no really interesting news so far today. "The Boy" and I dissassembled his old swing set in the back yard. It was really beginning to fall apart and I was afraid it was becoming unsafe. So, with screwdriver, wrench, and hammer in hand it is now apart. Took a bit longer than I expected but it still wasn't too hard.

Saying Good Bye

One Last Spin I hope it doesn't break

All Gone!

What a GREAT Weekend!

Well what can I say? This weekend was fantastic! On Saturday we attended the Colorado Avalanche game for Scout day at the Avalanche. We had some FANTASTIC seats (even had our own waiter!). And to top it of the Avs won! Click below to see the pics...



After the Avs game we came home to find dinner ready. Cooked by my Sister-in-Law and our Niece. You just can't beat coming home to a home cooked meal.

The evening was highlighted by a going away party for my favorite co-worker at a place called Oscar's downtown. The band was excellent (I have no idea what they called themselves) and the beer was cold (and in many cases free!). My Brother-in-Law went with us and I even think he had a great time, even though, he didn't know anyone before we walked in the door.

My Brother-In-Law, Sister-in-law, Niece, and Nephew all spent the night at our house as my niece had volleyball games (http://spectrumvolleyball.com/) here in town. I only saw one round and, unfortunately, they lost the round.
