Despite another week away from the blog, there isn't a bundle of information to relate to the readers. Last Friday and Saturday, me and Chuck went to the men's basketball games and met up with Flakey and Sasquatch. The men lost Friday to a good Montana team, and then beat a terrible Walla Walla team on Saturday despite all efforts to blow it. It'll be nice to see the coach get over his power trip and start the best 5 he has. Some items aren't worth discipline. Interestingly, I don't think Chuck and I have regained trust with Ponch (Roger) as he mugged us both the entire second half and out to my car. Some good news coming out of the house is that Chuck is considering coming out of retirement to give us another pitcher. We'll see on the 7th if he shows up or not. Some quality movies have been watched recently, including the likes of Mystic River, Good Will Hunting, and Stepford Wives. Monday we held our much anticipated christmas party with snacks and a white elephant gift exchange. Things could have been better, but the teammates have no interest in doing anything outside of studying. Lame. Attendance was poor at best. Following the party, Chuck, Beard, Kev, and I went out bowling in a classic 2 on 2 matchup. My bowling slump continued, but Beard picked me up and we were able to walk out with two wins. The pins are still a little shaken up from Chuck's punishment he dishes them. Today marked the official end of finals week so things are starting to clear out around campus. The weight room is finally manageable to lift in. Now we are all able to turn our focus onto next semester with a fresh start in our classes and end the school year with a bang. Also today, Beard led Corban College to another shot at a title, but in his efforts to do so, I upset him in the heisman trophy race. The voters finally recognized talent. Last week was a sad day in SI as Rick Reilley wrote his last article prior to his move. Things do look good for SI though as the new back page writer had a nice article that should have excited Chuck. I just hope Chuck got over the front cover and took a look inside this weeks. As everything has wound down for the christmas break, it is a good time to kick back and open up a book to read for your own enjoyment. I know I will as the house is quiet with everyone heading their separate ways. Also a note from Nitro, this would be far more enjoyable if there was feedback/comments to the blog entries. Or not. I wish everyone a safe drive back home and enjoy. Signing off.
