rainchecks and home sites

Last weekend the Cal U frisbee team saw our road trip and tournament at Juniata washed away by rain, forty-two hours before game time. That's a real crumb on your bumper considering I was going to be gone an entire weekend for nothing other than throwing a disc. Oh well, live for the next weekend I guess. So, as of tomorrow "next weekend" will be "this weekend" and yet another tournament has been foregone. This time, its due to lack of participation. Six teams were tabbed as the minimum number for the tournament to be held --- three teams RSVP'd. Yet another bummer. Next weekend we have a tournament at IUP. I've rarely seen a tourney canceled there, so I'm going to be as up as I can be for this thing. Following the tourney at IUP, I understand that Cal will be hosting a home tourney. Spring weather is some of the most volatile weather of the year, but damnit they can't ALL be canceled, can they?

My uncle recently gave Reese and I a vote of confidence when I finally got around to asking him about his opinion regarding my desire to build a house. I was quite surprised when he agreed with our decision to build on the hill, up above my parents' house. I seriously thought his response would be more along the lines of "trying to talk me out of it". Now that we've got the initial discussion out of the way, my uncle, Reese and I will walk up to our proposed home site. Once he gives me to OK to get it surveyed, I'm going to try to steamboat through this thing and hopefully have a house built in time for winter.
