I can't b
elieve it, but we got to throw outdoors today. It was a little cold, but Jeff kept complaining about having to wear the heavy sweater I made him wear. It's supposed to snow tonight and on and off for the next week. We had a good start to throwing. There are some small technical flaws that have crept in since last year, but we have a long time to work on them. In all, Jeff looks very good. Some of the things he has always done well, he still does very well. Some bad habbits he picked up with the heavier discus last year, he also still does. We have a lot of time and we really aren't that far from where we want to be in late May, 08.
We also invented a stupid little game. There is really no disc
us ring at the school, and remember, this is a K-12 school. There is a jungle gym in the playground. (How many of you had a jungle gym, let alone, a playground at your high school?) We try to roll the discus up the slide, across the top step, down two small flights of steps, down the back ladder, and see how far it can roll. To right is a picture just as Jeff lets one go up the slide. He blew me away in this, which should be expected, he has much more control on the discus than I ever dreamed of having. However, I think I have it figureed out - I will beat him in the upcoming rematch. More news to come.

uilding - it was built apparently in the late 1930's or early 1940's. It was sold to the Light House Baptist Church when the new branch building was built. (Check past Blogs for a picture of the new branch building.) I was told this week that when the church abandoned the old building, quite a few people quit coming to church, feeling the church was taking away an old friend, of sorts. Isn't it completely ridiculous what people allow to offend them? Makes you just want to say, "Come on! Grow-up and quit being so stupid!" Is it any wonder I never became a therapist?
