Jumping on the bed video, though thankfully, w/ 4 parents around, no bumping of heads.

As happened with some of the great stuff above, seeing some image that occupies a tiny, remote part of your memory from 30 yrs ago is thrilling but peculiar, too.

Nationals

The National Championship for ultimate starts Thursday in Sarasota (which apparently is OK after Wilma). My team, Death or Glory, comes in seeded 8th out of 16, our lowest in a long, long time. That said, with all our players playing and healthy, this is our best team in the last couple of years, so the possibility of upsets is pretty good. Personally, I feel as healthy and focused as I have since 2001 or so.

Beckie and Atty are manning the homefront – he’s still a little young to understand why Dad is leaving him to go run around over there, plus he likes to, er, get in on the action himself :)

Here are some links for following the action:
