Partayyyy

West Side held its first annual Drive In Theater party at Coach Nate’s house last night. The team watched the Olympic swims on the mega projector screen (side of Coach Nate’s house) and drank and ate much. Highlights for me were the mega cake, the bonfire, return of old friends from the south, watching Talladega Nights on a 20 x 20 screen outdoors and the ripping hangover I have this morning. I am hoping it is gone in time for the holiday party…Hope everyone made it home …

This is my kickboard.
There are many like it, but this one is MINE.
My kickboard is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My kickboard without me is useless. Without my kickboard, I am useless.
I must kick true.
