went with Janelle to the local Humane Society and found a cat to adopt!! I went home very happy having chosen a 9 year old grey tabby to join the fray at my apartment. She goes by the name "Missy" and seems to answer it so we might or might not change it for her new life with us. Janelle was able to pick her up the following day and she was sitting in our laps by the end of the day, she looks to be a great fit. Litterbox, food, and her first vet visit are all sorted out so it looks like a go to me. Sunday I played in a reverse coed tournament with Steph Hinkle. She is a long-time NW player and is leaving mid-week for grad school back in the Midwest, she will be missed. It was a great opportunity to play with her before she left. We had the usual slow start but also had the usual pick-up in the old losers bracket top win 3 in a row to finish 3rd on the day in AA. Not to shabby. The usual issue with NW Volleyball company for the tournament with grumbling all around. I still think this might be their last summer. The next day (Labor Day) I ran a reverse 4's grass event for a local charity (Hope Worldwide) and had a great time. I played with Alan Wittren, Vikki Vandyne, and Bri Haight. We played great until Bri had a serious leg injury on a slightly exposed stake and had to be taken to the ER by the local EMTs. Never something you like to see at a tournament and a real reminder of how lucky you can be just to walk off the field, win or lose. We finished in 3rd for the day with some very strong teams in attendance. Report back from Bri was just stitches and a 2-week break before playing again, just what we had hoped for when we all feared the worst. Later in the week I was able to see my godparents the Allens at the new home of their daughter Trisha and husband Craig in Issaquah for dinner. A great time was had by all and we talked well into the night with silly stories of days gone by. This coming weekend includes a scavenger hunt party in Seattle, helping a good v-ball friend move, and a BBQ with the Paulsons. Job hunt, volleyball, manuscript writing, and good times all lie in the weeks to come....Stay tuned!!!
