So Ryan finally got his camera back from Jaclyn's car. Now you can get the rest of our experience in Atlanta. I know you were on the edge of your seats waiting for this material . . .

I acquired a new piece of furniture today. Nikie and Chadd were given this entertainment center and they didn't want it b/c it doesn't match the wood on their other furniture. They also don't need it b/c they have built-ins in their house. Anyway, they said I could have it or it was going to Goodwill.
It's in pretty good shape, aside from missing a knob, the left door is cracked all the way down but is being held by some L-brackets, and some gouges where their TV sat.
As you can tell, my TV doesn't begin to fill the space. Maybe I can get 3 more and have some multi-screen action? Anyway, I can hide something there with the door shut. I have to do something about the wires coming down too . . .
The other piece I've had for a while now is this bookshelf. I had to get a floor sample from the store b/c they didn't have any more in this finish (which matches the legs on my couch perfectly). This picture makes the cabinet and bookshelf look like they're a similar color, but they're really not this close. It's an optical delusion.
Here's the front view. Things are just randomly put up there right now. As you can see, Ryan added some items to the shelves too.
I think it's fun anyway, and thanks to all who contributed to my birthday bookshelf. It just took me a while to actually go buy. Too bad you can't tell in this picture how white and shiny my trim is behind this shelf. That's another project I have to finish . . .
Anyway, I've got the munchies after my softball game, so I'm gonna go pop some popcorn.

Today I set out to design myself some business cards. Since only 2 people in a whole year asked me for a business card, I decided to make them on the fun end of the fun - functional continuum.

The foundations of this weekend were laid a long time ago when Jaclyn realized the Red Sox would be in town to play the Braves for a series June 18-20. Who could pass up that opportunity?
The planets aligned perfectly for several huge events to coincide that each could have warranted their own weekend.
Luckily, Sabbath was pretty relaxed. We went to church, ate lunch, and vegetated in the living room. Amy and Jeremy came by for a little while, so it was nice to see them again.
Ryan finally convinced us to come outside and play catch with him. Jaclyn warmed up while talking to her parents on the phone. Ryan let me throw at him for a while before I stopped to give my shoulder a break.
We stayed outside for a while, until we decided to follow Ryan K's suggestion that we go watch the fireworks that end Riverbend downtown every year.
We parked at least 10 blocks away from the riverfront and went to the walking bridge to stake out a spot to watch the fireworks. After a short trip over to the Coolidge side for refreshments and a bathroom break, we came back and w a i t e d.
The fireworks show was one of the better if not best ones I've seen. I really liked the ones they shot into the water that exploded on the surface. Poor fish =(
Sunday was another day full of excitement. We headed for Harrison Bay shortly after 10 and spent a few hours working our back, arm, and leg muscles doing a variety of water sports. I just have to add that I got up on one normal-sized ski the FIRST time! Yay!
It was so hot, we had to keep jumping in the water to cool off.
Become an elementary school math teacher and make the little things count!

Your true color is Yellow!
You're yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!

We had our last regular season games tonight against a team with the same record as us, 11-7. We're tied for 3rd in the league with another team.
