What’s happening in Brookline…
Lots to catch up on, not sure where to start.
A week or so ago, Kelly ran in her first competitive road race (with a few other people on
our street), the Hollis Fast 5K. She’s been in training with a few of her friends to try out a mini-triathlon but this came up first. She did fantastic finishing in under 29 minutes (that means sub 10 minute miles). I was very proud of her when she came down the final stretch and crossed the finish line. It was the first time I watched her compete in a sporting event and it was tons of fun. Check out the pics in flickr. She even got to wear number 88 so we knew it would be a successful run. I am looking forward to more of these and maybe someday I’ll even give it a shot.
Next up for the week was a quick trip for me out to Syracuse for the annual Bville Football Alumni golf event. I played with bro Mike, half-step bro Joe, and Mike’s neighbor Jeff. we
stunk the place up (finished last) but had a good time. It was nice to see the new Mike (weighs less than me but the head is still big) and Mom, Grandma, & Derek. Hopefully we’ll do better next year. BTW, Mike set a new event record with lost balls – at least 15.
Meanwhile, back in NH, our own Jack Byrne got promoted to the starting midfield line on his lax team. To celebrate this, he scored the first goal of the game (and for him, the season). Kell called me at 11:07 to let me know. If it wasn’t bad enough that I missed that, he got another one later in the game. GO JACK! He has really been working
hard @ practice and even at home, and deserved getting the start and the two goals. I don’t think he realizes the potential he has in sports. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t foresee a pro contract, but he definitely has a shot at being a decent athlete and a solid contributor on any team he plays with. Sort of like his Dad except straight As in school to boot.
Nothing new that I know of on the Beatles Rock Band front. I’m sure you are all eagerly awaiting the next update there. There is a new Zombie map out for Call of Duty WAW. We got up early this morning to play and for a brief moment we were in the top 50 in the world!
Gotta get back to work.
