Graduation-Keep Moving

On May 26, four of our players graduated . That's the biggest class since 1996.  As I have told them all, four years zoomed by.  Now they are on their own without the comfort and security of the college life.  All have plans, Jill is going to VCU to get her Masters in Social Work; Taylor twill be taking over the office managing her Dad's business; Molly is headed back to Floyd, but will be an Assistant Coach for Roanoke Catholic; and Maggie is waiting to hear from UNC-G after her recent change in plans to pursue athletics.  It's hard to believe they are moving on, but that's life, right?  Things keep moving whether we want them to or not.  We wish the best for them and Godspeed.  It was nice to see their teammates and former teammates on campus to celebrate with them on Saturday.  And so now, I guess, summer begins.  I am off again this year coaching a team with USA Athletes to Ireland.  I will update you upon my return as I am sure the experience will be splendid.

What's Up With the Weather

Can anyone figure the weather?  We surely have had some bizarre weather days.  One day it is 82 and I need to run the AC.  The next day, I am stoking up a fire to take the chill off in the house.  Last week the pool guys came to open the pool while I was building a fire in the wood stove.  That was a funny sight.  This week the weather appears to be a little more consistent.  Many of the students are out sunning, playing and soaking the rays while also fitting some studying in.  Everyone seems to cheer up more when the weather is nice.  We love nice weather for cheery moods!  Here it is the first of May and we have not had too many consistent  warm-up days.  Maybe it has finally broke and we are on our way to the heat of the summer.  That would be okay with me.  We have just one week of classes left--wow.
