Amazons 2011

By -

I told the team we should retire this year because we had already won the City Women's Championship in 2010, but they wanted to do it again. Our outfits this year are the most outrageous ever. We all got different colored shirts and decided we would match our hair and make-up to the shirt colors. And, we have inspired others: this year, the tournament saw new teams called the "Mini Me's", the "Tweeners" and the "Teenie Weenies" (maximum height 5'1"). We almost won again, but were edged out by 16 pins for first place.

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.

On to the story of Izzy

By Chris Turner -
For the past couple of weeks we had been finally considering another dog, Otis having passed in June. Evenings found us as an easily-lampoonable suburban yuppie couple, each of us window shopping on our respective laptops on the couch. On our Sunday bicycle ride we earnestly began discussing the characteristics that we wanted: mature dogs, no puppies; a rescue from a shelter, not something for which we had to pay. But Tiffani spotted Izzy on CraigsList and all that criteria gladly went out the window. Contact with the owner was made, and we drove ourselves to Belding yesterday afternoon with the kids to see if the dog and our family would be a good, two-way fit. The owner was forced to get rid of her due to a breakup and she was sad to see her go. She's a Catahoula Leopard , of which we'd never heard , and the breed seems to have a colorful, if not completely fantastical story. The kids all played with her and Cori walked her, so Izzy slept well in a crate overnight, I hard
