No, Connie. I haven't gone to Sitka yet. I leave home on the 5th, arrive in Sitka on the 6th, and return back home on the 11th. But I will take photos and bring back a full report of how Lucione and her team does in the tournament.
This whole town is inflicted with Basketball Fever. With Little League in full swing now, and the adults just returning from a tournament in Canada, the main topic of conversation is basketball.
This weekend we have one more home-game series with the Mt. Edgecumbe girls and then we're off to Sitka. This is our first time attending the tournament in a place other than Ketchikan. I know it's because it's Lucione's first year. Michael's already hinted that we'll be following her throughout high school. If we follow her, we have to follow Lindsey so we've got another 5 years of tournaments to travel to before we're done, I think. It's a good thing I like to travel!
We've been getting snow for a little over a week and it doesn't seem to want to stop. The mountains are gorgeous, but the roads are bare. That's a good thing. The snow is just the right consistency to be pretty as it falls and then melt as it hits the ground. I'm happy to watch it fall and everyone else is happy to not have to shovel or drive around in slush or ice.
I only worked 2 full days last week. Had I not been testing, I probably wouldn't have worked at all. I caught a nasty cold and am only now starting to feel like I just might beat this thing. No fevers for two whole days!
Because of my cold, there really isn't a whole lot to report on. 8 days till I leave. :o) I should have plenty to talk about when I get back. I better bring my Palm Pilot with me to take notes so I don't forget anything! haha

Basketball, Basketball, Basketball
That seems to be all I have time for anymore. With Lucione on the high school varsity team and Lindsey in little league, it seems all I'm doing lately is watching basketball.
They give me the 3rd degree when I don't show up so it's easier for me to just suffer through it all. haha I enjoy it, though. Aside from the fact that it's hard to walk after sitting on hard bleachers for so long!
Other than basketball, there isn't a whole lot going on in my life right now. Work is going well for a change. Either that or I've gotten really good at ignoring all the negative stuff. hehe
Michael just finished his first week off. Hopefully, there will only be 2 more. If it works out that way, he'll work a week and then we'll both take a week off for a trip to Stika. For....you guessed it....more basketball. We don't usually go to the Regional tournament unless its in Town, but it's Lucione's first year and Uncle Mike wouldn't even think of missing it so off we go. It should be a nice trip. I haven't been to Sitka since I was a senior in high school (18 years ago! sheesh!).
The last time we were in Town, I added Michael to my cell phone plan and bought him a phone of his own. That made him happy. He's like a kid with a toy. He loves his phone. haha I upgraded mine so I'm having fun playing with the camera. My old phone didn't have one. Only problem is, I can't figure out how to get my pictures off my phone! I've tried sending them to myself but it's not working. The cool thing is, I have our school song as my ring tone. Space Cadet is jealous. haha
That's about all the news I have for now. Life moves slow in this little village of ours. I hope whoever reads this is happy and well!

Daily Rules
Daily Rules from God for 2007
1. Wake Up!! Decide to have a good day.
"Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalms 118:24
2. Dress Up!! The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart." I Samuel 16:7
3. Shut Up!! Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.
"He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3
4. Stand Up!!... For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything..
"Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10
5. Look Up!!... To the Lord.
"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me." Phillippians 4:13
6. Reach Up!!... For something higher.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6
7. Lift Up!!... Your Prayers.
"Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." Philippians 4:6
