Alright so its been almost two weeks since my last post. The reason stems more from the lack of excitement in my life than anything else. The highlights of the past two weeks were probably figuring out that my ipod is completely fried, I can get maybe an hour out of it now, and sitting around watching the Olympics. Why do they show so much figure skating? It is all the same. I've gotten into the debate more than once about wither or not figure skating is a sport. Just because something is a competition doesn't make it a sport. Figuring skating is an art. The scoring is flawed, the average age is 16 years old, and when your "outfit" or "song choice" is as big of a deal as your actual performance, there is something wrong. This is the Olympics, not American Idol. Maybe that is why they show so much figure skating though.
Baseball is clicking along as well. We are all still waiting for the next poll to come up to see what we have moved up to. We were #25 in the nation in the preseason poll. We've since gone 7-0 beating #18 Cal Lutheran. We play #20 George Fox and Linfield this weekend in the Jugs tournament so if we can come back Sunday 11-0 it will be pretty exciting to see where the polls will have us. I threw live the other day and was at 80-82 mph which is definently up from my 76-78 in high school. Major Leagues anyone? With the first overall pick in the 2013 draft the Seattle Mariners select Nathan Shoup out of Pacific Lutheran University. Ok I know what you are thinking, there is no way, what are the Mariners doing at #1? So I am assuming the Mariners trade up that year to get me. I'm working on my smile and handshake with the commissioner after I get called up to the stage. Oh crap, I think I woke up, nevermind then. That would be cool though. Are you seeing airplanes? Is your name tattoo? Because I swear your living on fantasy island. I saw Night at the Roxbury the other night, I love that movie!
We leave tomorrow night for McMinville and I am looking forward to getting away from school again for a while. My life right now is just eat, sleep, baseball, and class. So I drop the class part and add a little more eating and sleeping, sounds good to me.

Nathan, I am being the secretary for your grandmother. His voice came through very clearly to the place where she laughed out loud. There was a nice easy flow, sense of humor and she agrees about the costumes and music in figure skating. It was very real, very you. My comment is I liked that you have a wonderful fantasy.
