Photo Friday: Bones Jacks a Dinger

A day late...

We've been to only a couple of Rockies games ever, and only 1 since moving back to Colorado in 2001. Luckily a friend of ours is a high powered exec of the phone company, Qwest and he couldn't go to a game this summer, Rockies vs. Giants. His wife asks my wife and bam, we're sitting in primo club level seats on a beautiful July afternoon. Legend has it that this was the only truly watchable game at Coors Field this year, so I'm glad I was there. Saw Larry Walker play in one of his last games as a Rox and got to see Barry Bonds smack a 1 run homer (actually it was more like a bloop home run if that's even possible). I set the Lumix to full 12x zoom (gotta love that Leica lens) and firing on multiple/action I time lapsed a nice sequence of Bones smacking it out of the park. I really think it's cool that you can see the ball being lobbed at the batter, milliseconds from leaving the hand of one of the Rockies rag arms, milliseconds away from being swatted out of the park by the best HR hitter playing today (sure he's totally doped up but he's still quite a playa).

She abruptly resigned a couple of weeks ago, for personal reasons and nothing to do with the School or the job per se. In a mad scramble, the principal scrounged up a "suitable" replacement. This replacement was described as "a mom". Fast forward to yesterday. Kristie was doing new employee orientation and this new hire was present. Kristie did emphasize this person seems to be a terrific individual and an all around nice lady. When Kristie introduced herself she stated: "So you're the new yearbook teacher....nice to meet you". The new hire replied, "Thanks, do you know anything about this yearbook stuff? Because I don't..." Kelly signed up for yearbook this year...she already has Digital Photography, a questionable class and now Yearbook. Wednesday Elective Day is going t...
