Stacy the coach

Recently, we got to watch Stacy coach the Jackson Jr. High basketball team. The game was a barn burner until one of the Generals was hit in the nose and had to leave the game. Unfortunately, the Rockets were defeated by the other team, whose point guard was the daughter of Stacy's OVC coach, the Pavster. Stacy's coaching skills were impeccable. Her ability to devise offense and defensive strategies could not be beat. But as a Bob Mielecki quote was given to console Stacy, you have to work with the horses you have or something like that...
At the game, I had the unbelievable luck to stumble upon my favorite brand of t-shirt. These t-shirts are unbeatable on the comfortable enjoyment radar. Previously, Stacy had procured these shirts for me bearing the OVC logo. However, since her time at OVC has ended, I thought I would never again have my supply of favorite shirts replinished. But as luck would have it, I now own an extremely comfortable shirt showing my love for Parkersburg High School, School Of Champions.

A Few Pictures From the USF Game

As requested, my roommate took a few pictures for me at the basketball game last night. An excellent photo shows Ted Talkington in warm ups, which unfortunately epitomizes his time on the court. As it is possible I may attend Bible Study in the near future, the prayer request for him to have more playing time may be put on the agenda. Take the
Ted Talkington Quiz!!!!

1. How many people were in Ted Talkington's graduating class?

2. In what grade did Ted participate in his first basketball tournament?

3. How many minutes has Ted played this season?

4. What did Ted score on his ACT?

5. Which two WVU basketball players does Ted live with?



Can you find us in the crowd? The fun and enjoyment we have for the sport is not adequately conveyed by this picture.

Martin Luther King Weekend

Martin Luther King weekend turned out to be very enjoyable, beginning with a trip to IMAX by Becky, Stacy, and I on Sunday. The movie, Night At the Museum, was very entertaining, as you would expect any movie with Ben Stiller in it to be. It was slightly odd to see Dick Van Dike portraying a villainous character. We expected him to bust out at any moment with "The Old Bamboo", but sadly, this did not happen. The 3-D experience helped to place this movie within the Superior range, and at the 90th percentile as far as movies go. No major catastrophes in driving were encountered and only a modest amount of money was spent at the mall, in line with my new year's resolution. On Monday, to celebrating a hero above many, Jessica, Kayla, Stacy, and I went to lunch at the Beanery. After lunch, we decided to go into Rite Aid in order to follow a hot tip on coffee paraphernalia. Little did I know that in this little drug store would be the candy I have been searching for. For some time now, I have been unable to find the Hershey's Cookies n' Cream candy in nugget form. Clearly more than luck, fate brought me to the last ones on earth. Also of note, Jessica found something to put on her wish list, a Sex Bomb. Now our family can profess two sex machines and one sex bomb.
