rain rain go away.... nothing buy rain lately... It seems that every other day its raining. I can`t wait for the rainy season to end even though it just started. Its especially a pain since I don`t have a car. So this Sunday afternoon I guess I don`t need to worry about going anywhere. So I am just sitting home watching K-1 and get ready for Monday. I took last Friday off so the 3 day weekend felt good. But I still had to do a lot of work from home. I guess you can never run away from work.
There was some terrible news from Utah I heard this week. An 11 year old boy who was camping with his family was attacked by a bear and killed. He was sleeping in his tent with his family when a bear came in the middle of the night and attacked him. The bear pulled him out of the tent as his family watched and killed the boy. I horrible horrible story. I have a son around the same age. It really made me think and I can`t imagine what the family must be feeling. Just completely horrible. The bear was later tracked down and killed. The tent was a gift to the father from that son for Fathers day. So the family went camping to try out the tent. Such a sad story. I can only hope the family can find some kind of comfort during this time. My son is in Utah but not camping. School is out for him now so he is just going to play tennis everyday and practice. I will see him in August and we will be playing tennis together almost everyday. He said he wants to beat me and I am sure he is working hard to do just that. Even though he is only 10. I can`t play gentle on him. He is very good and ranked. So he takes it very serious. I know he does because I am having to pay a lot of money to keep him going. The kid needs new shoes and rackets about every 3 months. But thats ok. Tennis makes him happy so I will support it and let him try to take it as far as he can go. I wish I was his age again.... But I am at the age where I am just trying to live my dreams through him. So if he needs another new racket its almost like buying me another new racket....hehe
