This weekend was the statewide Special Olympic games, conveniently hosted right here where I live. My boy won the gold medal in his division for the 50 meter backstroke, a silver overall for the 50 meter backstroke, and another silver for the 50 meter freestyle. The kid loves to swim; he’s always the one doing the backstroke with the big grin on his face.

Now that swim practice is over for the summer, I guess I’ll have to get us pool passes or something. The younger one will be taking swim lessons in a couple of weeks, and I’m sure my special olympic champ will want to come along.

In other news, it looks like Technorati has got me pretty well indexed. So this is how all those people I don’t know have been finding my little blog. Hi, all you people!

We Won!

The Sabres had the lead at the end of the second period, but the Hurricanes scored twice in the third. Now they’re in the finals for the Stanley cup!

Of course, this means that tickets to watch them are now prohibitively expensive so I’ll probably be watching them on television.

Go Canes!

Casey

Over the last week, the cat across the street—whose name is Casey—has been spending a fair amount of time on our porch. Phurball used to chase her off; even as an old man, he could keep the young whippersnappers out of his yard fairly well. Now when she sees the boys or I in the yard she trots across for a visit. My husband came out one night to find me sitting in the driveway petting her, and remarked “No wonder all the cats in the neighborhood think they live here.”

I can’t help it; this cat-magnet thing works both ways.
