Midnight Sun

This weekend was the summer solstice which is a pretty big deal here in AK......in a way it is sad to me because that means that the days are only going to get shorter now....just when I was used to it being light all day.

Any way there was a big softball tournament here on Friday and Saturday. I went over with a couple of people and watched some games on friday night....the last game being at midnight.....there were two girls that I know playing on that team so it was fun to watch.

Afterwards we went to the bar for a little while nothing to to exciting

I found out that there was a race on saturday. It was a race around the dike, which is the road that I run almost everyday so I figured why not go and do it.....so it started at 11:00 and I wake up and was trying to decide if I wanted to go....I had stayed up late the night before and had had a couple of beers so I wasn't sure if I wanted to race or not.....well I couldn't fall back asleep so I decided to ride over there and do it.....

I ended up getting second in the woman's divsion.....and the prize for that was $50.00

So I was excited about getting 50 bucks for doing something I do everyday anyway.....I think I could have gotten 1st if I hadn't been up till the wee hours the night before

Later in the afternoon I got ropped into playing on a softball team...it was ok...I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had been with more people that I knew. We lost miserably but it oh well. It was a beautiful day out so it was nice to be outside.

today I am work, hopefully we get a fire today...there was lots of lightning so we will see
