Indelible quotes perhaps

Just wanted to share some of my recent quotes with everyone..

Swimming out of monday's rip~tide I'll make it to shore but it was one hell of a current!
I had to stop at the coffee buoy to gather my strength


Winds blowing hard~mid 80s..Mother nature is a bit cranky..But I can wait for yer winter wrath

We cash our last check in the bank of eternal..I just hope I nothing bounced

listen to love and get your ears nibbled!

The Flowers of tomorrow I will smell with anticipation...fruitful as they are

Here comes hump day...Once I ride that wave..I'm ready for the weekend

Drifting into the thoughts of yesterday..Dreaming in what I believe and fear..no repsite in wicked sleep...drifting into the oblivious dreams
..live my life half there..leave me alone to my dreams..money can't buy that..

I can't buy my way into your heart..No relief for the chosen..taking our time..looking for an unwanted whos to blame..I dunno why..I just believe in the truth


Is beer really cheaper than gas? Well hell give me tequila and i'll fly to work!

lying under a tree and analyzing everything. I'd listen to all the leaves and the background vocals on the wind and I patiently try to pick out the different instruments..Birds in the back ground..what a symphany

I was told that women would can put a bra on far easier if they bend over while doing so...whaaa? you bend over infront of moi! The bra is coming off pronto! hahaha pfffffffffffffft...friggen scientists never get laid


If love potions really existed..I'd have ten cases!

Another Blue and arduous Monday is history..Hoping this week fly's by at light speed..Welcoming the sweetness of a slow weekend

Life is constant trip down uncertainty lane..Roller coasters and tsunami's ..then a sudden silence which enables you to listen to the wind between the trees...gather your thoughts and find respite in awakening dreams

If I say something indelible..capture that within your heart..I'm still trying to grasp my identity as a writer..eclectic and soul searching

Eloquent Pardadigm

So I work my *** off..pay a ton of of bills..train some students..and play faceville steadily..all alittle too much...what am I a junkie of?..Life? Funny thing...I want even more

So eloquent.. this life's passage..The riddles..Let me pay that forward?..let us be eclectic paradigms enough to remain a mystery to all..as did our grandfathers by campfire light

I see so many folks just watchin the tube and becoming complacent to living their lives outside the rabid media lifestyle

Do you try to escpape it like I do?

Listen to the wind between the trees?

The fourth of July..American style

4th of July
The importance of this day is that we told England to go to hell and we earned the right to be free of such monarchys. Our freedom and rights have been hard fought..let us never forget that

Lasting lessons of our independence come back to remind us today of the importance of our freedom and rights and we shall all walk hand in hand into the future of this great nation knowing that each and everyone of us broadcasts a shining light to others on this big blue marble. To be free

The method of success in our liberty as of late is a grey line at best..National security and debate over our constitution makes us stand on the precipice of democracy and our destiny

drift the rift

we just drift and die like the driftwood that washes ashore?
So lonely and perhaps forgotten
we see the past
and I don't believe in yesterday
go away and leave me alone
unwanted and who's to blame
I don't know
but I believe
there's no rest in loneliness
just drift upon the surf
it's just a trip
are we are forgotten thru our yesterdays?
I don't know why
leave me to this sand
how much will life buy?
unwanted?
who's to blame?
just belive in your own truth
and leave me alone


*stokes the fire*

dream

perhaps I'm just a dreamer
it's just billions of us
gazing out my window
mother earth and cultures
will we all survive?
...fighting for our lives
stop repeating this sick history
better days in our sun downs
the dawn will bring us a sign
this time
copyright><">2011

pray for something

indelible relapse into reality
The first time
another point upon the horizon
we're all searchin for something
nothing to be scared about
it's called feelin alive
be an enigma and people think that much more about you
my world as I see
hold your breathe
and let me inside

prey to jesus or act upon us all

pay it forward

oh wait...I'm just a dreamer

if only

serenity embraces us all

just my own dreamer

blind the daily grind

Blinded by the daily grind
It's in this place is where i'll find you
wake me up
feeling every footprint in the sand
walking hand in hand
lives collide
feeling our lives
are you sure right now?
lately i've been missing this place
like a light to the heavens
I am seeing all of you
within this circle
The sun fom above
And this place I give my love
I'll dream of being here
look into the sky
just ask why
why do we all collide?
I see it so much clearer now
and how do you see me now?
Turn the light on
let's see this place much clearer
when you're tired and feeling small
get a hug from us all
run to the firepit
it can be found here
troubled or seeking sand
We'll walk hand and hand

Walk me in the moonlight

I cannot break this vow
I'll close my eyes
Amd stay forever here
right here right now
But If I were close my eyes forever
these memories will keep in my soul
And my time here which will end
is never
you wake me so I can finally see
by the moonlight I truly can believe
I'll never leave
I hope you'll all see
Never slipping
dancnig in the sands
those past and present
we shall dance
in the stone
in this name
where the setting sun is on horizon
We will dance here
and we will shine
devine
in our souls

I will return

I will return to dry your eyes
singing you the grand lullabye
When you're down and troubles have come
I'm still here at your side
Use this place to raise you up
to ride the surf
to make you strong
raise you up
to stand above the flooded tide
I'm at your side
To make you strong
and walk along
Stand on my shoulders to avoid it all
I'm here
your beckoned call

Endless pontification

Pontification Ad Nauseam

Dogmatic supercilious dribble

But still...

many enjoy these excesses!

No matter how tiresome

In the end

Being better only matters

In the concerns of your heart and word

Even then....

A relative reality?

Insistant darkness

Eloquente sun, under the loving light..I miss you with all my might. Rainy days and windy sorrow..These days of summer I wish to borrow

The end of the world on 5/21/11 propecy

So I was thinking of Camping

With an H that is

Surname and your to blame

May 21, 2011

He said we'll all mostly go to heaven

Bodies will awaken

our nerves all shaken

Yet this isn't the event

Another useless ten minutes on you tube spent

I'm still here!

And all you doomsayers seem very queer

A coward dies a thousand deaths

with armeggedon not near

I guess it proves something

Believe half of what you see..

and None of what you hear.

I'll live yet another year! ><">

Love to all

Requiem of my friends And Family

A record in time of those I know now

and Testimony of those I've lost

Dancing in the limelight of experience

All around me I see forward and behind

To the record that is my essence

To road of assumed beauty that I search

Something that makes my heart see the light

It keeps me from falling apart

I'm dancing in all of your love

Like a child at Christmas

It's the divine and the great thing that makes me whole

You fall and I'll catch you

Remember that

You're never alone as long as I still breathe a breath

And think of you

I'm the light to all your darkness

Cold Life

We search for lift from those whom we need.

Whether it be the thousand mile connection

Or the soft hug from a friend

We just look for that heart

That soft spoken sentence that calms us

Lifting me to a good day and a feeling of relief

They can be the one

That brings out the sun

we are not alone..we have champions close to us

to fight those monsters

And mend our fallin life

Breathe again my loving friend

I have a message to send

I'm here by your side

And it's one hell of a ride

Let me warm your cold life

Give you the heat

that you need

Into the night and beyond

Like a personal shadow

You're not alone

Let's fly away

I am at your side

My Spring Thaw

Evermore so entangled and bound to the daily grind

Finding respit in a friday evening

Been a week that seems like eons

to a weekend that flashes by with lightspeed

Yet monday morning I smile

knowing that this may suck

But I'm here to carry it out

Waiting for the warm days and mesquite barbeques

I find myself in the sun, almost chasing it and it's fleeting moments

"hey come back here!"

"Geth the flock outta here Ol man winter!'

Time to absorb spring and it's profound

ANEW

amen

Pharoahs and the New Pyramids

Egypt has spoken..The people have done the right thing. People must evolve as a whole..The human race and fight to be free..We did it in America and are the torch bearers of Freedom..Now our brethren in Egypt have set forth..hopefully..freedom. The people of all nations must see the value in doing so and follow Egypt's cue..Which I'm guessing is in their minds.

Even what we percieve as freedom, It still has it's issues. Freedom is not exact or perfect in this day and age..I'd rather sacrifice something in the state of freedom then live in a world of dictatorship and repression etc...Human rights should be at the forefront of our direction in tomorrow.

I assume the violent fringe in such Countries as Iraq etc.. Plan on trying to teach the people of Egypt the error of ther ways through loade backpacks in the town square to who knows. They know that in their own countries they might be swinging from a tree in the local courtyard if this catches on..First DARK step is Military take over..Now the people have went the first round and must set forth real change..They have another twelve rounds to survive!


Set forth the motion of freedom and let it circle the globe..Taking down nations for the sake of the children and grandchildren of tomorrow. A slow step at a time with the voice of millions waiting and yearning for their god given rights.

Gruesome is the regimes of repression..That bound those to chains of control. Slowly bleeding them from their own identity. We are not the human race that wishes to be whipped about in cleric frenzy'z or..? We are the people trying to learn from our past mistakes and move on..to the things that enrich us..not destroy us.

I think many of us speculate that Egypt is indeed headed down a rough road..But if the people truly finish what they started in just the right way..It will mean everything to them and the entire world. Slowly but surely this sick doctrine enforced by unruly rulers might possibly become ancient history..It must.

Requiem to my past

Life is a daily journey which we try to do with the least bit of resistance..From 5th grade homework to the paying of a bill...we learn to cope and move on to the next right of passage...Mine is my 50th birthday...part of my elongated book of personal life...The one that I hope someone remembers..Did I make it worth the strain and triumph? I like to think so...But in the end...there's only one thing that matters...whom I loved and who loved me ;)
Cold nights when I wasn't so strong
Young and pointless
My future therefore I long
Wind blows within my memory
It Takes me back to early life
From the long lost memory of a first teen kiss
To the warmth of a family as of late
And present strife
I heard your voice
Let it out
never say goodbye
I dreamt of my past
I don't think it was bad or good
It only weakens me or the opposite I assume
Hear the voice from my past
It makes me weak and strong
Ditto
It Seems harder to breathe
But that's only an old state of mind ;)

Thanksgiving and ol man winter

Happy Bird day to all those whom celebrate this holiday. I hope all of those less fortunate have a good and plenty Holiday.

I'll stuff myself on turkey-stuffing-mashed potatoes-sweet potatoes-pumpkin pie. Then I'll long for a short nap.

The weather here is unbelievable. Last few days it's been below zero at night and barely above it in the day...We've had 2 snow storms and two more are on the way...possibly dumping as much as 16 more inches of snow by Monday. Ol man winter got here early and I would love to kick his ass...outta here...But just like any other year..I'll grin and bare it and look down the road to spring.

Enough thoughts about this nasty weather...My thoughts will focus on the task at hand...Stuffing myself on Thanksgiving bounty

Muse of Memes

Made me think about a few things..Especially how a few memes might have changed my life..Perhaps not quite the Culture..But possibly in the world around me.


IF I convey and it changes your life

Does it change the culture

Or better your life

Empirical formulas

So entertwined

The evidence is grey

And not defined

The gifted few whom speak the reason

Come and go

As does the seasons

Grey Rain

Grey rain is falling

Pouring down upon my shoulders

Not a single sound

Just a sense of a storm to come

Flickers of distant bolts and the clap of it's voice

Caution me to what's to become

Steam rises at my feet

And the temps fall

I call to you ol man winter

Be soft as you pass this way

This body can feel your prescence

Grey rain pouring down

My shoulders wet

I get so lost

My mind sleepy

I'm begging you

leave this place

There's the doorway

Call in spring to follow you

I am complete

A Year well Earned

With the life changing event of Ol Man winter creeping up behind me, I'm found with a situation.. What we call a crazy week! It seems as though life's worst and best events combined seem to come in three~s.

I was just Nominated for President of my local union

I witnessed a robbery this morning

I was called on to be a juror

All within a very short amount of time


*shudder*

Not to mention I just got my Internet connect back...etc etc etc

OK...running in 3's is a f@ckin joke

Such is life on this big blue marble or should I say Galactic rollercoaster of mayhem?

copyright><">2010

I've fallin and I can get up

*sigh*
Summer is about to give us the long kiss goodbye...it's hot embrace letting go
Watching squirrels scurry about...lodging their meal for days covered in white powder
soon the geese will fly south...escaping ol man winter's embrace
trees show their final glory before they strip down
not yet time to dig my sweaters out
but i'm thinking about it
fall into fall....a close reality
in all it's majestic beauty

Just another day ~ in paradise

Whew...it was so hot today and the AC in my car is out so I drove home, dreaming of a cold shower. It's time to throw some ribs on the Barbeque and dance around the sprinkler. Smell the mesquite slowly cooking my ribs and corn on the cob sounds delish!

Perhaps I'll hope for fall..but once the chill hits..I'll be longing for these hot temps.

Memorial weekend muse

What can I say

Been one crazy day

It's not over

But I am half way

I'll turn it around

Make it profound

And not let it get away

Not just for me

It's all of us

You'll see

what can I say

This is my day

Big Ugly BP and a Government asleep at the wheel

I am astounded at the level of disaster from the Deepwater Horizon oil rig nightmare and little help from our own Government. This will make Katrina look like a walk in the park and no national guard is immobilized to combat this? The Government seems to be sitting aside and watching this disaster unfold..this sickens me. Such an epic nightmare and it seems to be of very little concern of our own Government. With no real checks and balances to avert such disasters. If solid steps were in place this wouldn't have happened.

While BP plays the ~Hmm, I wonder if this will work~ game.

They did it so let them deal with it? As we watch the coastline under siege.
Get out there and save the wild life and wetlands etc...this is a major National Emergency and should be addressed as so...Forget the red tape and help immediately! BP dropped the ball...all concerned about the bottom line and not the signals that could have averted this.

Greed seems to be the big picture and Not a soul in the effected areas will reap a single dollar from this. These people in the fallout zone will lose their livelihoods, wildlife and pristine areas to an oil company seemingly ill prepared. What right do they have to do so? If you're going to put our coastline in such danger..Have a real plan that works.

Wreaking havoc upon our coastline all in the name of BP costs, profit margins and stupid errors.
We will all pay for this and the Government had better step in NOW! Help these morons at BP
"Let's try something else to stop it" When will you stop this leak? How many things will you try...will any of them actually succeed?

"This is at such a depth" Then why go that deep? More profit? And why do it with no real methods of stopping such a leak at such a depth?

blah blah blah...maybe you should have thought about real measures that work before you put our Fisheries, Habitats, Wildlife and America as a whole in harms way.

They were running out of time and spending too much money so they ignored the problems and the end result was a nightmare beyond comprehension. Drilling at such a depth is insane anyway.

I fault the oil company mostly, but I also fault our own Government doing little and watching this disaster unfold...after all...it is a National disaster...treat it as such...yet another reason to be unable to trust our own Government which comes up short on so many levels. If companies like BP have poor standards for drilling and a weak plan for dealing with such disasters, they shouldn't be drilling and putting such areas in danger with rigs that can do so much damage to our Nation.

To say BP dropped the ball is an understatement...and we need to look at all other oil rigs sitting off our coastlines with great care.

Ill prepared money hungry error makers of BP need to face the truth..they dropped the ball and should be held accountable...along with our own Government that usually comes up way short every major National Tragedy...wake up folks!

Spring has Sprung!

What a beautiful weekend it is! Sunny and warm

Drinking a cup of coffee in my back yard while watching the sun come up was especially nice.
I'm going to barbeque something...anything..it all tastes great on a barbeque.

I couldn't have a better weekend...I need to get my hammock out of the garage and just chill

The Prodigal writer

It's been awhile since I've posted anything here

I've been busy and a bit less creative then I'd like to be

The weather here is wet and windy as well as cold

And now it's May 1st...my hopes of a beautiful month..everything anew..the smell of barbeques cooking fabulous things permiate the air...trees get back their lush green coats and flowers awaken to rise in the morning chill.

I'm ready for this warmer weather...winter seemed to work it's way slowly through time

Goood bye ol man winter.....I won't miss you in the least

A Horse of course

Beautiful Steed
With my love indeed
Barely touching the ground
Those hooves..so profound
Running home
To me
As if god painted a picture and it was a horse of course
The song of love for such beautiful things
Oh my hearts sings
Their love is so profound
Touching my heart
without a sound
He knows Me and I know him
I look into that majestic unbelievable stare
I just fall in love again
With the wind in his ears
Heaven said it's the best of years and there's a place for him
Ride high
Love the same
*hands him an apple and a hug*
Truly god's gift
Their love has always been enough for me
Take me home oh beautiful steed
Grasp the love an animal can give you
let that ripple outward

copyright ><"> 2010

If you could be a winged animal, which type would you be?

Albatross

An Albatross..so far out in the ocean.. Soaring on the Sea breezes

A Balmy 26F

The frigid temps have loosened their grasp on the Pacific Northwest finally..Temps in the low teens for the last few weeks *Shudder*
Now the temps are up to 26F and it feels rather warm..should be in the 30s by tomorrow but snow is in the forecast. 2-4 inches. But that's nothing compared to the massive storm that hit The Eastern US.

I know winter has just arrived on the first of January but it feels to me like I'm well over the winter hump and cruising quickly to spring. The cool temps start so early here.

I need to go out and get my snow shovel out of the garage and find my snow boots...my car is winterized and ready to go.

Funny thing...every year I've made a snow angel and a snow man...perhaps I never totally let go of a few of those boyhood joys

This year on January 1st I'll take the polar bear plunge at a local lake...shock myself into the New Year...Not one person that knows me is surprised that I'm jumping into a frigid lake on January first..they've seen all the other fun and crazy stuff I've done through the years..

So Come on 2010!!! I'm ready for you!

I'm Alive

Am I to slowly crawl unnoticed or am I to stand up and say "hey..I'm alive..more than everyone knows...til the day I close my eyes forever...imagining a better place for you and I under the heaven's glitter..What would you say?

Will it go away?

I'll suppose that everyone supposed

paradise is merely perception

A choice givin gift

other than the sorrow life bequeths us

joy is just a thought away

swallowing those dark thoughts

smiling for the tomorrow

tis the season

Cold fridgid temps keep me bundled

Well...it's stayed below freezing over the last few weeks...temps at night of 2F.

The cold December winds have chilled me to the bone.

Warm soup and a nice big cup of tea under a warm blanket seem priceless.

Come on Spring! I want to burst out of this igloo into the green lush season of anew.

Winter is already old and it isn't even here yet.

Dec. 21st?...It actually starts once I freeze my ass off

I like a small part of winter..not much


copyright ><"> 2009

I need you...life

Staring out into the dawn...feelin good and hiding the pain..thinking of somewhere I became..looking forward seems to be longer but a positive path..I'm not sure why..I'll give it another try..this life and it's seemingly to's and fro's..I can and will squeeze out a smile thru rain and the darkest days..my heart in a comfortable ease..knowing all the things that are beautiful brighten that seemingly longer mile...Give it a try I will..with a joy and optimism in tomorrow..it's all I really have in that sense. I'll go home now...to the place I belong..without much regret...just a few wishes and an addiction....life.

copyright ><"> 2009

It's all good!

There was something..in that day..like the leaves..I fell..a cold chill jumped up and bit me in the ass..fuck..that's right...Ol man winter is coming back to make my already spent existance that much more interesting. Take the time..eh...like an elevator..up down. I'd better buckle up and adjust. This will be a ride on my body and my mind. It get's cold up here in the Pacific Northwest and if I'm lookin for sympathy it's between shit and syphillis in the dictionary..right? No brief respite at either of my jobs...but I'll damn sure smile because life is way too friggen short to live it negatively.

Alaska..my pristine second home

Spent 3 years up there...fishing the Bering Sea and exploring it's wilds

Alaska is truly a state of wild mind....a call of the wild so to speak...you feel as though nature is the most important force..not the concrete jungle. Making oneself roam the vast forests in search of what have you..it really doesn't matter, even a bad day out there..rules!
Dusty ol lumberjacks still walk around with sidearms and wrinkled flannels..fish abound to be snared by a crafty hook..
Animals more numerous then what the lower 48 can possibly offer..run about for you to find.

"Touch the finger of mother nature and you may want to hold her hand"

That awesome place....Alaska...has that feeling.
A way of life..not just a location...more of a place to truly feel alive

Describe a time you were scared.

Was the danger real or imagined? Explain how you dealt with it.

Got caught in the bite more then once while fishing for crab on the Bering Sea...in the bite mean that the rope connected to sinking pot has somehow grabbed you and is going to take you overboard. Only quick reflexes and thinking will save you.

The angel on your left shoulder and the demon on your right are duking it out. What are they fighting over?

demons vs angels

The Angel would say ~ "It's far more important to define your character by refining your conscience"



And the Demon would reply ~ "But it's far more fun to give in to temptation..since impurity has it's rewards"



Who wins? Neither...it's a stale mate most of the time

Fall Muse

Well...here it is

Fall in the Pacific Northwest..the temps are dropping at night but staying up in the 80s and 90sF during the day. My flowers will soon be gone and the garden will sit dormant. The beauty of the forest becomes captivating...sending me out on long weekend drives to breathe it all in.

Time to get my warmer clothes out. I've been in shorts n shirt mode for several months. My pants just don't seem comfortable after that. It will take me a few days to get used to it. I need to go out and buy a new winter jacket and perhaps some more winter shirts and sweaters. It get's pretty damn cold up here.

hot soup-hot chocolate-hot apple cider-hot tea ect...will sound pretty good in a few weeks. I'll be cooking much more in my kitchen vs. out on the barbeque. In the summer...getting my kitchen hot sounds much worse than grilling something. I barbeque at least 3 or 4 times a week in the summer...eating cooler meals for the most part when I do cook in the kitchen.

It was a pretty good summer...I hope it's a mild winter..last year was a nightmare

I think I'm going to enjoy this nice evening and barbeque yet again...nice to sit out in the backyard..smelling mesquite smoke and playing with my dogs

So...enjoy your fall...breathe in it's color & beauty

I know I will

What's your favorite view?

The view is beautiful from West Glacier

The scenery will take your breath away...the wilderness in it's finest form..One must search for all things beautiful..damn good way to spend a lifetime

Will we find life out there in the vast cosmos?

What's wrong with assuming a living Universe?
Where other life forms inhabit their planet?..Extremophiles have been found in the hottest..darkest and deepest parts of this big blue marble..and intraterrestrials have been found deep in the crust of our planet, wasn't too long ago we assumed life didn't exist in the extreme places here on Earth, but it does. Microorganisms are indeed a hearty bunch.

We are merely very young students to the truths that lie out in the cosmos..I honestly cannot convince myself that we are the only ONES in the cosmos..I believe that in the next 20 years...We will find many Earth like planets orbiting in the safe zone from stars and maybe even a spectral imprint of life...and the realm of possibility will expand. Also they have found Carbon Dioxide elsewhere a main selling point to the possibilty of life on other planets.
Perhaps life is floating around on asteroids to be deposited on some distant planet and that could be how it all started here...we just don't know.

I think we will find water and in that water we will find life..entirely possible in my lifetime. And if/when we do find life out there..how can we assume that there isn't even far more intelligent life than just microorganisms etc.?
I'll cross my fingers and hope we do indeed find proof of life elsewhere..It seems naive to assume that we are the only ones in this vast cosmos.

May we search for it...out amongst the stars

In bed with Mother Nature

You can think of things to stir your imagination or you can grab a tent and get up in the woods..time on your own or with a friend...touching mother natures hand.. a night of lightning strikes to fill up the tent..the wind knocking the shelter about with furious anger..the thunder rolls over a distant canyon in a chorus.. "I am truly living...one with nature on this cold dark night"...A taste of primitive man or a road to my soul...doesn't really matter...every long lost memory of such places are still right here...locked within my heart and memory. What a nice thought...the bed where you lie is the captivating wilderness...*sigh*

Hot summer nights go cold

Fall fast approaches...

kids getting ready for school while their parents rush to buy school supplies.

Work begins preparing for a holiday schedule (do 5 days work in 4 days).

Labor day seems to always signify the end of summer, that and an end of August Birthday.

"I wonder where I stashed the warm clothes and blankets?"

Time for hot chocolate on stormy nights..snuggled in to a comfy spot...buttery popcorn and a good scare movie in hand. lightning flashes with furious anger.. lighting up the darkened room while the thunder boomers make my dogs jumpy.

Squirrels scurrying about...hiding their meals for a later date. Leaves letting go of their hold and spiraling downward..to be raked and forgotten. Birds ruffling feathers anticipating the long flight ahead while foggy car windows stall me from getting to work.

Soon it will be fall -> back, daylight savings time...struggling to wake up in a dark room followed by dark commutes to work where I regret not being able to catch a few more winks.
It almost gives me a sleepful sense and the need to huddle closer..Stay inside...read a good book..just relax by the fire

This summer was busy, hot and eventful..I'll put it away for a later memory.

Time to go get some new windshield wiper blades...fall is a wet one around here *shudder*

Ahh look at the bright side...spooning with your mate is far more doable!

Shock claim 2009 ArenaCup, 74-27

Woooohoooo!

Spokane Shock beats Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers in the 2009 Arena Cup!

What a fantastic season for the team and us fans! It took me awhile to get into Arena football..Went to some games...watched them on T.V. and grew fond of the game

Thanks Shock for winning the title! It's far better than what many WA. Teams achieve...especially pro

My first plane trip, from Seattle, WA. to Spokane, WA.
