WAY too long in between posts for me. Just have not been able to find the time for some reason. Oh well, that happens I guess. Busy times as Janelle and I start the process of looking for a house to purchase in the Seattle area. I think this will be a great adventure and I am really looking forward to it this summer. The job continues to roll along as I had one of my manuscripts accepted to be published in the near future and am working on the next in the series that I hope to have submitted near the end of the month. Things just seem to be really rolling along right now. The sports continue to roll along as I currently have 3 v-ball leagues and an indoor soccer league that I am participating in. In addition the end of this month brings the indoor national tournament in Austin, TX that my team will be attending, I am looking forward to it quite a bit. Janelle is also going to travel with us, her first vacation in quite a while, I hope we can make it a great trip for her as well. We finished up the regular men's indoor season with a trip to the Oregon Men's regionals with a make-shift group of our usual players. We did not play the best ever but improved every match and took a very tough Oregon team to 3 in our elimination round. We are quite a bit ahead of where we were last year heading to nationals in how we play as a squad. I expect we will be even more competitive this year in the A bracket of the national tournament. 2 of the v-ball leagues are in the final weeks and will finish up be the end of the month, the men's league runs through June and the soccer through July. As I finish these up I will be excited to get outdoors for a little camping, BBQing, outdoor v-ball, and general appreciation of the great nature-related activites we have access to here in the Northwest. I will run my usual 3-4 v-ball tournaments this summer culminating in our finale of the 10th annual JWI charity event I run each year. Tough to believe I have been doing this for so long, sure seems to have flown by when looking back on the events. It is always a fun process to work out the details of the event with friends and family as we continue to add crazy extras every year to the gifts and perks of the tournament. Good times for all, and planning seems to be at least half of the fun.
