Memorial Day Trivia
Which President declared Memorial Day a federal holiday on the last Monday in May?
Which Chicago Stadium opened on October 9, 1924 as a memorial to those who fought in WWI?
These should be easy enough for you to answer.
Memorial Day Weekend To-Do List
1. Play Softball
2. Grill Hot Dogs and Brats at Grand Opening of Grafton Harbor(we are raising money for our Relay for Life team)
3. Go to Alton Block Party
4. I would like to hang out one day this weekend at some outside bar with a nice band playing.
5. The rest of the weekend I would like to enjoy the nice weather and wash my jeep and catch up on some much needed sleep (Sleep in all weekend).
Wish I was camping with my boys up in Springfield. I also would like to plan a float trip sometime this summer. It’s been a while since we did one of these things. If anyone is interested let me know.

Hoop It Up
Welll Hoop-It-Up came and went again this year. We won our first 3 games. Then played a team that was all college basketball players and lost. Then we started the playoffs and we got the 2 seed going against the other pool’s 3 seed. They had a guy that was probably 6′8 or so. We ended up losing the first game in the playoffs and thus ending our play. Pretty interesting weekend other than that. Saw the regular fighting and terrible officiating like usual.

Softball
We won our first softball game last night. I think the final score was 23-8, and we ended the game early. You can view Stats by clicking on the link on the right nav bar that say Softball Stats. I was 3 for 3. The first two hits were not very good but ran them out then I had a nice line drive to right center. Might have been able to stretch a double out of it but someone else was on base.

Congrats go out to Erin (fiance) on graduating Nursing school. Tonight will be her pinning. It’s been a tough and long ride and it’s finally going to pay off. Speaking of paying off - Erin accepted a position at Childrens Hospital in Downtown St. Louis. The nice little sign-on bonus will come in handy when i decide to get my new computer.
