We played paintball today
Saturday morning we met up with a friend and another 6th grader and we went and played paintball. It was my first time and it was quite fun! The kids and Pepper played against Albert and I. I was shot on the butt cheek the first two games! It was maybe a little cold for …
Why it is called a birdie
I guess i always lived a pretty sheltered life as far as my badminton life goes. I had only ever seen plastic birdies used for badminton. A few months ago I saw my first birdie made with real feathers. Now I wonder why their other name is shuttlecock.
Trip to Suzhou, China
I was in Suzhou, China in early February. I accompanied the girl’s basketball team for the ACAMIS tournament along with head coach Meghan. We met at the school early Wednesday morning and left Ulaanbaatar by 8:30. We arrived in Beijing and had a long layover where we needed to clear immigration, get our bags, change …
Bowling in PE class

One month of fitness
Today marks one month of a concerted effort to eat better, drink bad things less, drink more water, exercise, sleep adequately… And there are definite results. Here’s a graph of my weight. I dropped 11.5 pounds in 4 weeks. I have rebounded a little in the last few days. But weight isn’t the best measure …

Game On
I’m doing a diet. I’ve tried a few before. But this one is different. It’s a group thing and is cooperative and competitive. It’s the Game On diet. First off – if you’re thinking I don’t need to be on a diet – thank you. But you’re wrong. I actually went to the clinic and …
