Jump 29

October 10, 2010

Saturday morning I looked at the weather and it was not good. There was a good chance of rain, it was overcast, and the ceiling in Ritzville was 7500-9000 feet. My friend and I were supposed to go skydiving, but the weather made it seem like it might not happen. She called and they said…

Jumps 26-28

October 10, 2010August 26, 2020

It’s been three years since I’ve been skydiving. Once Richland Skysports closed, I no longer had a local place to dive. It took the desire of a coworker to jump to motivate me to get back into it. I went the weekend before she was supposed to go so that I could take care of…

2009 Polar Plunge

January 26, 2009

This weekend I participated in a charity event called a polar plunge. The idea is simple. I get people to contribute money towards me doing something crazy, then I go do the crazy thing. Then Special Olympics Washington gets some money. I tried not to campaign too hard around my friends. I dropped a few…

Softball Tournament 2008

January 10, 2009August 26, 2020

Once again, I was pitcher for our PNNL league team the Plutonium Pirates (arrrrr). This is the third year of the team, and this year we were really good. I had to miss a few games, but the team did great and we had a lot more fun than we had in years past. The…

Double Header

June 13, 2008

Wednesday night we had two softball games. Leaving work, the wind was howling and it was sprinkling rain. The rain stopped by the time I drove the two minutes to the field, but the wind hadn’t. We warmed up and started the game. It took a while for me to adjust to the wind (it…

Game Three

May 30, 2008

Yesterday was the third softball game. There wasn’t really anything exciting about it. I scored a couple times, I got out a couple, I  pitched, I got people out. It was a fun game. In the end we won. After the game I headed straight back to work until 11:30, then went home and watched…

Second Softball Game

May 2, 2008

Today was the second softball game of our work league. I left work at 4:30 so I had plenty of time to warm up, but quickly realized I had left my cleats at home and was wearing my dress shoes. Fortunately, home is only a 5-7 minute drive, so I was able to drive home,…

First softball game of the season

April 23, 2008

Today we had our first softball game of the season this evening. It started off great. We held them off for a few innings and scored some runs. My first at bat didn’t go well; I hit a line drive straight to second base. Later I did manage to get on base, then another time…

I’m the Prince of Ice

April 21, 2008

Not really, but I was threatened with a showing of the movie Ice Princess today, so I thought it was appropriate. Today I went ice skating again with some friends. I went a few weeks ago with a larger group, and had a good time, but there were so many things I was doing wrong…

Thumbs up at White Pass

February 21, 2008

Well, it wasn’t so much thumbs plural as it was just the one thumb. And it wasn’t up so much as it was down, caught in the snow, and quickly swelling and bruising. I’ll start at the beginning. Saturday was a day for skiing up at White Pass. Someone at work had organized a bunch…
