Amazon Bowling Team Update

By -

It's a story three years in the making, but on Saturday February 13th, the dream team of Amazon bowlers finally came through on the last day and won the Traverse City Women's Championship Tournament. Prior to this year, we just couldn't all get anything going at the same time. You may remember 2009, when we all sprayed our hair pink because we were bowling on Valentine's Day. This year, we decided the theme would be red hair. It seems the more goofy we look, the better we perform.

Membership on the team requires a minimum height of 5'8" and minimum weight of 150 lbs. It also just happens that we're all pretty good bowlers too. Even if you don't know much about bowling, you might appreciate the scores we rolled in our final game of the three game set: 234, 234, 246, 198, 218. (I had one of the 234 games). Our other games weren't that good, but added all together, we had enough to beat everyone else! We'll win a litte money, but mostly bragging rights until next year.

And brag you should ! That's a terrific finishing game. From the costumes and the grins, I bet you had a rowdy time also.

In Memoriam: J. Morgan Sweeney, Ph.D

By Chris Turner -

Our good friend, Dr. J. Morgan Sweeney, passed away while teaching in London on Wednesday, August 8, 2007. Morgan -- an Irishman by clan, an Englishman by education, and a Gotham resident during his youth (his father was employed at the United Nations ) -- returned to the United States after completing his Ph.D at Oxford , and took a job with the History Department of Michigan State in 1976. Morgan wrote and lectured on modern European history, especially British, was active teaching in MSU's Study Abroad program in London , and was especially valued and loved by former students. Click for the obituary. Not having Morgan as an instructor during my time at MSU, I was introduced to him by our mutual friend, Drew Beiter, a former student. With Drew sequestered off working in California or Wyoming or the greater Buffalo area, and me living here in Williamston or Grand Ledge, I was able to more fully develop my own relationship with Morgan. More recently, Morgan was our infreque

Sophia's Surgical Narrative

By Chris Turner -
A camera and microphone are installed on all modern Macintoshes, along with an application called PhotoBooth , which allows users to take photos of themselves, along with movies. Thursday after Sophia's surgery, Seamus was upstairs playing Mario Kart on the Wii , and from the back room, curiously, I could hear Sophie discussing the previous day's procedure and figured it was via PhotoBooth. Without anyone's urging she videoblogged the enclosed entry, and I tracked down the video file in her account to upload for everyone's information.
