Kaleb and LMC Championships

I have two articles on the meet last night. First out of the TVC (Record-Eagle) since TVC St. Francis is in the LM Confernce. Also out of the Petoskey News-Review kind of our local paper for The Boyne area.

Boyne City and TVC St. Francis tied in the team competition, with Kaleb leading the way for the Boys from Boyne.

Harbor's Drake Doherty won the giant slalom in 1 minute, 4.09 seconds, followed by Boyne's Kaleb McNamara (1:04.14) and Mike Cortwright (1:05.08), and St. Francis' Keaden Hornyak (1:06.03) and Stephen Siddall (1:06.47).

McNamara won the slalom (1:21.26), followed by Doherty (1:21.47), Cortwright (1:22.30), Hornyak (1:23.17) and Grayling's Mike Olson (1:23.83).

So First in the Slalom and Second in GS. by only 0.05sec...wow!!

Mary and I are going to make an attempt at going to the State meet in Marquette on Monday. I have the day off. The only thing is that we would have to leave really early in the morning to make it to the slopes on time (can't afford to get a hotel). If we do, we will get pix and video to post after.

Kaleb Continues His Streak! On to State!

Kaleb ran the Regional meet at Nub's Nob north of Harbor Springs on Thursday. Brandon was able to go and  told us that Kaleb hip checked on the first run of the GS (that is he started to fall but was able to bounce back up), so it was a slower time. However, his second run was almost a full second faster than any of the field so he finished 5th. He then had to flawless runs in the slalom, for first place. The entire Boyne City boys team is going to the State competition at Marquette in a little over a week.

Here are some quotes from Kaleb in the Petoskey News-Review:

Kaleb McNamara, who won the boys’ slalom in 1 minute, 8.30 seconds, said he was proud of Boyne’s performance.

“It feels awesome,” McNamara said. “We haven’t done this as a team in a while so it feels good.”

“We were all pretty nervous, but we were determined to win it as well,” McNamara said. “All our guys stood and we were consistent on both runs. We skied pretty decent.”

 WooHoo!!! Way to go Kaleb!

Band Name meme

1. band name comes from a Random wikipedia entry
2. latest album title comes from the last four words of the first quote on the random quote generator page.
3. album art - taken from the interesting photos page of Flickr

So here is what I came up with:

Band name: Kiev Opera
Album: Hold of the Hammer
Album art see right -->

I had these two college roommates when I was a sophomore at Grand Valley State. When the three of us were running around together, we called ourselves the "Three Amigos."  This was a classic clip that was hilarious to us. I found this on Hulu.com:

Stealth Cat

I saw this on the Best of YouTube podcast. Hilarious. It's also available here at YouTube.

Create your own Timeline with Dipity

While listening to net@night with Leo Laporte and Amber Macarthur, they interviewed one of the founders of the site Dipity.com. Basically, you can create a time line of you by merging your feeds from Flickr, Blogger, Wordpress, YouTube, etc. While I have been blogging for about 4 years and had a Flickr account for about as long, my time line only goes back about one year, but once you start it will continue so that your time line will grow for as long as you contribute to it or the site remains up and viable. I might recommend that Mary do it for her new business so that people can see the time line of how and what she does. I'll talk to her about it when I see her in the morning.
