Only a little break for me. I’m actually heading to Las Vegas today for the Red Rock Rave volleyball tournament with a team of 13 year olds. We’ve been pushing them at practice for a few weeks, so hopefully they’re ready to compete and we break into the top half tomorrow.
That’s usually our goal as the teams I coach aren’t often the top athletes in Colorado. If we finish 1st or 2nd in our pool tomorrow, then we’ll be in the top half for Sunday and Monday. We did this at Crossroads in Jan and the RMR Showdown in Feb. The second day can get rough, but we’re learning and improving each time.
The tournament finished Monday and my wife and I are staying until Tues to get a little break. During tournament days, we’re very busy and it’s real work. We don’t get a lot of down time, and we are constantly searching for ways we can coach better and help the team improve. Plus the 15 year olds from our club are going and we coached 3 of those girls at 13, so we’ll stick around and watch them after we’re done playing.
It’s great to get away from technology and do something in the real world. I always like those moments when I get away from computers, and I’m looking forward to the break.

Congrats! Before we had kids the misses and I went to LV one year for vacation, it ws the ONLY vacation trip I got to select where we went and as a fan of Magic there’s no better place to go. I have a co-worker who left for LV 2 days ago and is there thru the Easter holiday. I’d love to go back to Vegas for more Magic, saw Penn & Teller last time about 22 years back.My own eldest just got word that she and her team of merry archers made it to the Archery Nationals and so she and the wife will be headed to the mid northwest in about 3 weeks. I wish I could go but we’re a single income household and the tradeoff for her staying home with the kids and home-schooling is that we only get one vacation a year I can go somewhere but its worth it. have fun!
