We still have about 18" to 24" of snow on the 
fields here in Fairfield, so we traveled into Boise today to throw on grass. It was overcast, raining, and windy, but no snow on the ground. In all, it was great to be outside. We could watch the discus fly and see problems that have crept in because we only see it fly about 30' into the net. The picture to the right shows two or three of the things we are working on right now. With several serious errors present, Jeff still threw 142' (43.28m.) When we sort things out and work, peice by peice cleaning up the errors, I think he'll end up somewhere in the upper 150's by the end of the season. It should be a fun year in all.

t contacts and glasses for Jeff. He has had them before, but just refused to wear them. With him getting his driver's license this coming Summer, he has to have his glasses or he will never pass the vision test. They sent him away with two weeks of contacts to try them out and new pair of glasses. Get used to this sight, he has to either wear the contacts or the glasses from now on or he won't get his driver's license.

and I came across video footage of Jeff in the fifth grade throwing both the shot put and the discus. For those of you who remember her, Elke is in several of the videos, always fairly close to where ever Jeff is. She was a very, very cute little girl. (She still is.) He had some natural, smooth abilities, even back then. His shot put release at 10 and 11 years old. (Compare body positions from the 5th grade with those of the 10th grade above.) It has been a tremendous amount of work since then, but it has also been fun, I hope for him, I know it has been for me.
