The End…and the Beginning

The Greece Thunder hockey team gets their state championship rings tonight at a ceremony at the Town Hall. This puts an official end to the 2008-2009 season, which began with dryland training on 7/7/08. The pre-season conditioning, captain’s practices, tryouts, regular season (practice and games 6 days a week), Section V playoffs and States, the pasta parties, banquets, award ceremonies, fundraisers, golf tournaments…it all ends tonight.

And we start again on July 6.

Off and Running (Skating)

Matt’s team is already 10 games into the season. Didn’t baseball just end? Here’s the page I maintain for his team:

Milestone for Matt

Churchville-Chili, Greece Arcadia reach Class AA baseball final | democratandchronicle.com | Democrat and Chronicle

He got his name in the local paper (the big one, not the community paper, where he’s been mentioned a couple of times).  Got called up to varsity a couple of weeks ago and doing well, helping Odyssey make the sectional championship game. Had a bases-loaded double in yesterday’s semifinal win.

Happy Holidays

Best wishes for a safe, happy and peaceful Christmas and a great 2008.

Jon at the Penny Arcade

Captured with my cell phone – forget about the sound – they were so loud it overwhelmed the small mic.

Happy Holidays and best wishes for the coming year!

Love, Kathleen, Chris, Jon, Matt and Tim

Go Eagles

Matt’s team is well into their season, and doing ok. I maintain the web site for his team using a combination of Google products – Page Creator, Calendar, and Blogger. Check it out here:

PS Matt is the tall one in the back on the left.

Go Sox!

Matt and I are in Boston for a couple of Red Sox games. He’s an obsessive BoSox fan (is there any other kind?) so we’re here visiting Mecca. Trying to get some culture in, too.

Update: Here’s the pictures Matt took of the trip.
