Woo hoo!

Pictures from my trip to SF are now in my photo gallery (click link at right or click here)

In my personal pictures gallery…a picture of me taken TODAY in my softball uniform!

Lot of politics lately on my blog - but not much ME.

OK…quick catch up - 2 consecutive tournaments in Toronto and SF. I lost in the first round in both. In TO, I pulled my hamstring in the consolation round and had to withdraw. I could walk on it OK, but running hurt like a MF.

For the SF tournament, the following week, my hamstring was OK but not 100%. I lost in singles and played the net with my doubles partner, who was fortuneately a baseline player. Was not planning on doing a lot of running. Lost 6-4,6-3. best yet!

Last weekend I was back at home playing softball. Played DH in Game 1 and RF in Game 2. We won both games, improving our record to 3-5.

Played tennis last night, and beat my opponent 6-2,3-6,6-4. Fun match. We played on unlit courts and got to the point that we could barely see. We had maybe 3 games to go, and we both agreed to finish, since we were both equally visually handicapped. It was TOUGH picking up the ball!

I went last night and volunteered at the Fair Illinois effort (mentioned below) for 4 hours last night. Of the petitions that I looked at, I’d say 30% were invalid - unregisterd people signing, printed signatures when they are supposd to be signed, etc. If those percentages stay like that, it is off the ballot.

See this news story.

A great feeling of camaraderie in the room. If you are in Illinois, stop in and make a difference!
