Big Week, Really Big

If the rain gets out of the way early enough today will start a busy week for the Rome Wolves. Today we play Sonoraville at home on the varsity side and Darlington away on the JV side. Thursday the varsity side plays Callaway at home and the JV side plays Dalton at home. That is going to be fun logistically. Friday the varsity side plays Lakeview Ft Oglethorpe (LFO) at home for our first region match.

Well, pray for the rain to stop in time for todays matches to go off on time.

O What a Time of the Year

Spring is here for sure.

The first two games of the soccer season have come and are behind us (thank the Good Lord). Thank goodness they weren't region games. They weren't pretty. Next week we play our first 4A teams with a will to put a hurt on anyone in our way.

The rain is pouring down and it isn't all that warm.

Finally, the first race of the year is on the tube. No, I'm not talking about Daytona. The Tour of California prologue starts today. Cycling, baby, that's what I'm talking about. All closet Europeans rejoice we now enter the time of soccer and cycling. Rock Racing is definitely the team everyone will be watching with their flair and team choices. I also can't wait to see the boys in Argyle.

Swim Fishy Swim

The 20th annivesary of the Emory/Children's Healthcare transplant program was this weekend. Dad's heart is 11 years old this year. The Heart-to-Heart Celebration was at the Atlanta Aquarium this year and Dad invited Kristi and I to go with him and Mom. We enjoyed quite alot. The aquarium wasn't as impressive as the price suggests, but there were definitely some really cool fish. I liked walking under the fish.

Tis the Season

We got the season off to a great start with an exhibition game against Coosa. The Wolves scored 7 last night and both keepers had clean sheets (no missed saves). The boys will travel to Kennesaw Mountain on Wednesday and head to Kell on Friday.

Where Have All The Strings Gone

I sit here on a Sunday morning reading Cello blogs and wondering where are all the string players (amatuers that is). Where I live I have only been able to find a Violinist and Bass player. The violinist is a biology professor nearby and getting married; she won't be available until after her honeymoon. I haven't even thought about asking the bass because we'd need at least a violin (or two). I could fix up the cello pieces for bass and play the viola pieces myself (fixed up that is).

I miss playing in a chamber orchestra like I did in Atlanta. I actually played in two. Both were church orchestras. It was kind of fun on days when both were performing. Well, at least it got interesting. Up here I know of only one "Orchestra" and I don't know anything about it except the church it is part of. I don't even know if it has any strings. (people like the hi fallutin sound of orchestra more than band) It is also not at my church and most if not all of there performances are for church services. I'll just have to check into it.

Speaking of church I should probably start thinking about getting ready to go.

We are Registered

We went to Babies R Us today and went hog wild. If you'd like to see what we went and picked out go to Babies R Us. We are going to hit the Wal-Mart soon. Go look at the listings. They are cute.
