I'm going to Fenway!

On a whim, Kendra, Chris (her boyfriend), and I are going to Fenway. We won some tickets on ebay, and we are going to next friday to the game against the A's! The tickets were $70....which is less than half a paycheck that I saved from the summer. I think we will be driving my car...but they will pitch in for the gas...so that money will be sent to you guys...cause you pay for my gas....unless they buy it on a card.....SO OH WOW I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!

Chris made Kendra a promise that he would take her again, and I said, bring me! and they said, okay.

Erin (my friend who transfered to Nursing school) came to visit us this weekend. Last night we went to Letchworth State Park and grilled up some dinner and smores. If only I could post pictures, but my camera is still at the camera hospital. We cut up potatoes, carrots, beef, cheese, and mushrooms, poured in some cream of mushroom soup, wrapped it all up in tinfoil and grilled it. Voila, le diner. yum yum.

The Not-So-Eensy-Weensy Spider, or Why We're Glad We Aren't Grasshoppers

Here's the newest resident of the Murphy home. This critter took up residence on the outside of the screen of the family-room window right by the computer and promptly set about making a nice dinner out of a grasshopper. Notice the egg sac. I am just hoping that the babies, when they emerge, are too big to fit through the holes in the screen and get indoors!

More on the soccer tournament

Believe it or not, your bleached-blonde brother is being modest. His goal was the first one of the season for his team's official play, and it looked nearly impossible. He kicked it from the edge of the field near the school parking lot, intending it to be a cross for somebody else to put in. But instead, it floated over everyone's heads and past the goalie's outstretched hand into the tippy-top eastern corner of the goal. It was improbable enough to bring the crowd to its feet in astonishment. It helped win the game, too, since the final score was a tie which S-E won in penalty kicks. That game was played against Oneida, and the next night, against VVS, Justin Hodge as goalie had an amazing night to help SE win the tournament. If I find any newspaper coverage (perhaps in tomorrow's Norwich or Binghamton papers?) I'll post links. Meanwhile, here are a few pictures. I apologize for their blurriness. (Note to Santa: maybe the camera would like to get a zoom lens for Christmas.)

Another Another athlete worthy of admiration!

That's me! Because we won our soccer tournament and I scored a goal in the first game. Making me pretty cool I'd say, even though it was an accident. It's only the 2nd time in 14 years that Sherburne has won its tournament. Yayyyy!
