Sports Central

Sports has always been a huge part of my life as anyone who knows me knows already. I wasn't able to log in to my blog from last March through early June, so I figured to put a few pics. up from the few months in between when I did tons of fun stuff in Ohio. This is at the Kokosing Gap Trail riding the scooter on the train and the jumping from one wood bar to the next.
Riding the rail on the scooter, this was sure tough to keep my balance.
Kevin and Kwaku on my other skateboards and scooters.
In May, the Seniors got to go to Cedar Pointe In Sandusky, OH, because they won the Spring Picnic (even though in reality I think the Freshman class won, there was a huge controversy). This past week I played tennis on Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for a minimum of 2 hours each day and up to 4 hours in a day! Then I also played basketball on Sunday, Monday and Friday. Not to mention teaching P.E. all day at Hardy. I was exhausted and sure did sleep in on Sabbath morning!

I got tons of good pictures at Cedar Pointe, which is rated as the #1 amusement park in the U.S. It has some pretty amazing roller coasters! Some of my relatives have driven down to go to it from Detroit.The week I went to Cedar Pointe was fairly busy. We went on Monday, on Tuesday I took 5 students to the Indians vs. Blue Jays game at Jacobs Field. Then on Wednesday I took 2 students to Game 5 of the Cavaliers vs. the New Jersey Nets in Cleveland, the first live NBA Play-Off game I've been too. What a great week, and it seems like a school activity or Varsity baseball game or practice happened on Sunday.Another great coaster.A self-portrait in the sunny day with temps. in the upper 60s or low 70s, beautiful for mid-May.
Another sweet roller coaster.Will, Josh, Kwaku, Kevin and half of the 5th student in the stands early in the game.It was a beautiful evening for baseball and a great atmoshpere as always at Jacobs Field, where I saw 5 games live last year. The Q, home of the Cavs. is right next door and I also got to see LeBron and the Cavs. 4 games there live as well as one pre-season in Columbus at the home of the Columbus Blue Jackets ot the NHL last October.Another great picture of our seats, barely up from the line down the left field line, even though we only paid $10 each. We actually moved even closer into the infield later in the game.
Some great seats by the end. In the background you can see the Q, home of the Cavs.Another close up shot, actually this is a little blurry it was so close.
Another view from our seats at the end with no zoom, we were about 5 rows up from first base. I'm headed for more tennis now and then probably racquetball as well as watching the end of the Predators and Red Wings. They're tied at 0 going into the 3rd period. After watching 2 games in Nashville the last few weeks I've gotten right into watching them when I can. If I have time, I'll try to update a few more posts on all the things I did in the 2 months in Mt. Vernon when I couldn't figure out how to blog!
