And after this passed Sunday, my DJ needs all the preparation he can get.  The South County Tiny Mites didn’t fare none too well.  And with the weather getting colder and colder, these practices certainly aren’t going to be getting any easier for any of us.  But I’m sure many of the folks reading this website know all about that, eh?  And it is certianly worth it for them, too.

They get some social interaction, a great deal of excersize, and they learn about themselves and the game they’re being taught to play.

I forgot to take my camera, but I’ll use my cell phone to try to take a couple of shots.  Not that they may be all that interesting to look at.

Nice thing, I suppose, is some family around here has an unsecure wireless access point, so I’m … uh… borrowing their Internet connection.  I hope they don’t mind me blogging on their connection.  In my own defense, I’m certainly not using too much bandwidth, right?

I guess that’ll be enough for this post.  Oh – the previous post was me teaching Michelle how to put pictures into this blog.  My eventual objective, if anyone is interrested, is opening this site up to family members to write their own posts, put up their own pictures, and let everyone know what is going on in their families.  After all, we need to stay closer, right?  And while in-person visits are ideal, our schedules can make that difficult.

Bye for now!

Sure, sure.  Sandy Caron made a wonderful, selfless contribution and the controversy over her baldfaced urination in our back yard has been quite a sensation (see below for the salacious picture!), but nevertheless, there isn’t too much coming our way from other folks.  So step up if you read this site!  Drop Doug an email an let us know a little tidbit about what is going on with your or your family.

Here, I’ll give you a sample.  My son, Douglas Poirier (hehhe… I have a Junior!  Is that cool or what?  Ok, sure I swore I’d never have a son be a Junior, but cut me some slack.  When you have five kids, you start running out of ideas for names.)  Douglas Poirier is a football player, and though he’s just turned 6, he’s been pounding out the punishment on the other poor souls who have the misfortune of being his teammates.

Here is a picture of his team at practice.  I’ll give $50 to anyone who can pick him out of the picture.  Heh.
