Basketball Season has arrived

Yesterday was the first day for my daughter's basketball season. A lot of the rules have changed since 3rd grade Boys & Girls Club basketball. She now plays on an all-girl team, the rims have moved to 9-feet, and they are calling a lot more fouls (thank goodness).

Not to be a "homer", but I think she is one of the best players on her team...if not the best! She plays great defense by blocking shots, pressing the ball handler, and is a rebounding studette. She also managed to score 80% of the points. Right now she is nursing a parquet burn after diving for a loose ball, and asking me what else she can do to help her team. I think she if feeling a little frustrated as a lot of her teammates come to practice late; if at all.

On another note, my New Year's resolution is to blog more in 2009 than I did last year. With so much computer interaction, I find it difficult to set aside time for blogging. Since I don't keep a journal or a diary, this will have to suffice. I admit it is fun to read back through the earlier blog postings and re-live my experiences.

As well as keeping up my 12 of 12 picture project, I plan to find at least one Geocache each month in 2009. It seems like a daunting prospect of taking 12 pictures, for 12 consecutive months, on the 12th day of the month, while blogging each month and keeping the Geocaching streak alive.

Wish me well in my endevours.
