Down a man

We had to cut our first player of the year this week. Little T had way too much attitude for a 12 year-old. We simply couldn’t keep him from cussing his teammates and coaches out. Where do these young kids get these attitudes?

1st Practice

The basketball team that I am coaching had its first practice tonight. Only two kids showed up! Hopefully we can get the word out a little stronger before next Tuesday. The two guys that did show up were really eager to start the season.

Well, my blog didn’t really get off the ground last year (Dec 2005). Another year has gone by, and here I am writing post #2!Once again, Heather and I will be coaching the Columbia Heights Young Life Junior High basketball team. We are holding our first practice tomorrow, and we only have two returning players from last year’s team.I am really excited to start another season!

Practice, I think…

I had my first night of coaching tonight up in Columbia Heights at the youth center. I am not sure that any trained eye would call the experience a basketball practice. Scuffling…yes, practicing…maybe. Anyways, I am really excited to get the chance to be doing this. I am up for the challenge, I think. I am coaching with Heather, who really has a good understanding of the kids, and the homes that they are coming from. I expect to learn a lot about the behavioral problems of urban adolescents, and practice my patience skills along with firm leadership.

    Friday, March 20, 2009 We got up early for a 7:45 train out of Paris to London. Upon arrival, we made our way to our hotel near King’s Cross, and then headed to central London. Our first stop was a pub near St. Paul’s Cathedral for fish and chips. After lunch, we poked our heads into the cathedral. We then bought a 24-hour pass on a tour bus that covered all […]

    Thursday, March 19, 2009 After watching the sunset from Pont Neuf, we walked to St. Michel and had dinner at a sidewalk cafe. We both had chevre salads and duck, and as always, the people watching opportunities were terrific! After dinner, we took a night cruise on the Seine that departed from Pont Neuf, on Ile de Cite. The views were awesome as the boat too […]

    On Thursday afternoon we took the Metro to Le Bon Marche, a famous designer shopping district - but we only window shopped :) We then headed toward St. Michel and stopped along Pont Neuf, one of the oldest bridges in Paris, to take in our last sunset. It was gorgeous and the sky was pink right around the Tour Eiffel! C’etait magnifique! - Jessica

    The train mobilisation (i.e. Strike) did not stop us from getting to Louis XIV’s Versailles palace 30 minutes outside of Paris. It did, however, stop us from going inside the palace. Apparently, the museum workers union was also on strike! Oh well! This gave us a chance to spend several hours walking through the massive gardens and along the Grand Canal on t […]

    Delicious dinner at Cafe de L’Est next to our hotel on Wednesday. Cantal cheese salad and duck salad. I love duck!

    After the Picasso museum, our mission was to shop for the must-have boots in Paris for Jessica. After many stores, we were successful in finding her birthday boots at the Jovak store in Les Halles. She was pumped!

    Wednesday, March 18 We visited my IRIS internship building in the Voltaire neighborhood in the morning and headed out for the Musee National Picasso just before lunch. We bought sandwiches along the way in the Bastille. Just before we got to the museum, we stopped for a picnic in the Square Leopold Achille park. The Picasso museum takes the visitor chronolog […]

    We ate Tuesday’s dinner at a brasserie in Place du Tertre. The place is an old square just down the street from Sacre Coeur where many artists set up and paint and caricature artists attempt to draw portraits of tourists. We sat outside under a heat lamp and watched the action on the square. I had boeuf bourgignon and Jessica ate spaghetti bolognese and we b […]

    After the Musee d’Orsay on Tuesday afternoon, we walked across the Seine and all the way to the top of Montmartre. Along the way we found a new French pastry to love - Viennoisse Chocolat. It is like a breadstick filled with chocolate chips. We made it to the top of the hill to the Sacre Coeur right around sunset. I shot some exterior photos of the Sacre Coe […]
