The team won its second straight conference championship. He played second doubles. Finally we can breath. We can step back. We’ve been looking for Spring-Ford and Phoenixville.We lost a couple guys, but Justin Baman, who’s a freshman, came in and really stepped up.

Back about five years I was visiting his house and his oldest, then 10 or 11, asked my oldest if he wanted to play Grand Theft Auto. “You’re letting him play WHAT?” I asked Doug.

Aunt Betty, originally uploaded by kevdonahue. My mom’s sister Betty Stansfield passed away on Monday, Feb. 21, 2010, after a years-long battle with cancer. She was a lady of great warmth, great faith, and great strength. Betty’s life included more than her fair share of pain, too—she lost a child 10 years ago, fell into…
