The wait.

Well here it is sat aftn and still no word on the vote, can't figure why I am in a hurray because all the results will do is make me come second. Second is good, first is gooder. Gave it a lot of thought lately who I would have done the best against, Frankie or Zara, My conclusion is no matter who I picked I was just casting the first ballet for the winner, not that I would not choose Frankie but just fun to try to figure out things.
Weather cool and wet today, don't think we will have a very good summer as it has not been good yet and it is ever so short here. The only advantage to a bad summer here is it is over so quick you hardly have time to suffer. The temp today is 56F or 14C at mid afternoon.

The finale.

Well this morning I sent in the last of my final project, Frankie did hers last night so Rob posted them and the 5 judges have until sat eve to register their votes. Don.t Think it is much of a contest as Frankie will take it easily, her final entry was way above that pitiful effort of mine. When this started I told Frankie I would be happy to end up in second place when she wins ans I will get what I wanted. For 5 weeks we played this game and were partners in the background with the desire to make the final 2, as far as I'm concerned we are both winners. When we get the official results I will post them here.
Sold the last ticket to the Special Olympic luncheon to be held in S'side on tues June 22. Sales are on a par with last year but I am going to work my butt off to increase them by aleast 10% next year.

Up to date. Part 1

This will be my third attempt to brind my blog up to date so here goes and I will do it in stages. Thurs June 10 I spent the day in Ch'town in pretrial hearings for our right to host the 2005 world Jr. Softball. It went not to bad but things were not as we were told when we went to the meetings. What happened is we have 30 days to come up with a guarantee of money and we will be awarded the games for the second time. It should not be a problem but I will keep you up to date as things happen.
Fri June 11, it was sort of a quiet day but I did not seem to get much done as all my energy was directed to cut-throat island. "Z" won the challenge and Friday we knocked of poor ol' rikimae. That left Frankie, "Z" and I. This is different and the winner of this challenge will choose which one of the other 2 goes with them to the finals. It is a hard challenge as you have to prove insanity while trying to prove sanity. I put a lot of work into it and handwritten it so a friend could scan it and send it in for me. Found out at 5:00PM that he could not scan it and contest closed at 8:00PM. I typed it up in script fond and submitted it. When I went to bed Mon nite early no winner was announced. When I got up tues I found that rob would not announce winner until later. When rob announced winner much to my surprise I won, now I am not modest but if I were going to pick them I can say I was third. I picked Frankie as to go to the finals with me and we are now in the middle of our last challenge. My money is still on Frankie but no one I would sooner come
second to. I feel sorry for "Z" the other partner, him and Frankie were the best 2 players in this game and it hardly seems fair that he will not be in the final 2.
