I need this bumper sticker...

You know, the one that says "No fat chicks!" - I need one that says "No fat dudes!". That fat guy broke my ankle - not just a sprain. The swelling is down, but it is mighty tender still. No pictures, but I think you'll be okay with that.

Genographic Project - interesting


Just an interesting project - perhaps sometime we could order one of these kits. Mr. iPhone, didn't you have some geneology records you were working on?



You can check out the project here.

Swollen Ankle

I suffered a minor ankle sprain playing some soccer this week. Michelle says "that's hot" whenever she sees my puffy ankle. Enjoy! I'm not.


Here is the incident caught in great detail:




Normal (okay, I'm no foot model)



Post Soccer Foot (that's hot!)

Michelle's mad skilz!

Michelle hasn't done this in years. She looks like she is still a regular at the Lumberjack Bowl! Few of you know that she was world champ in 1983. Yep, both her and Dr. J. - champs in '83.




Here is how the Miami Herald put it in 1983. Michelle doesn't even know that she was mentioned in this article. Surprise, honey.

Six-year-old Cari Ann Hayer, a girl who loves to roll logs like a lumberjack, went to the World Lumberjack Championship competition in Hayward, Wis., Sunday and left with a second place trophy as big as she is, competition officials said. Miami's littlest lumberjack was narrowly beaten in the junior girls' championship by 8-year-old Michelle Dickenson of Hayward. "It couldn't have been any closer," said Cari's father, J.B.

Kayaking the Brule...

"She'll feel better once she yaks." - Glenn- "The Wedding Singer""



Yep, Michelle felt better after the kayak run down the beautiful Brule. We've gone this route before, but this was an exceptionally great day. Here's a partial list of the wildlife we saw on the journey:


Evening Grossbeak
Cedar Waxwing
Otter
Trout
Common Merganser
Kingfisher (?)
Some bird that was fairly large - yes, that's the one.
Cool Dragonflies
Rotting Deer Skull, which shouldn't have been pulled out of the water (it stunk something fierce!)
Oriole
Plover type bird - hmmmm.

Mini-golf

Acer is the man - he should go pro. The physics behind this shot amaze me everytime I watch it. This marvels Davis Love III's putt at the masters. It was boy night out last night and look out ladies - Acer is back and ready for action - he impressed a few ladies in the foursome before us with this brilliance of mini-putt. Check it aaauuut!
