Oklahoma Summer Games

The 2010 Oklahoma Summer games have now come and gone with another record number of athletes, over 4,400!!! Opening ceremonies was once again a very very good show and good for the soul. Jim Scott once again did an outstanding job leading us as a team, and thankfully he did not upset the powers that be, as we actually had decent weather, until the last morning. And considering the way the weather was during this week we were very fortunate. The only hiccup this year was the misplacement of Big Dogs golf cart. Thankfully Jim Scott was taking care of our Unsung Hero Trooper Steve Burrows, and did not want any harm done to Steve's patrol car and he had the vision to remove all of the antennas so that lightning would not strike the vehicle causing damage.
We had a record amount of athletes at the Bocce venue, which kept us busy. Once again THANK YOU OSU for Boone Pickens Stadium. New venue for the Dance, the NEW Stillwater High School football field. A great facility. We live and learn and hopefully will have a better plan for traffic.
It is the end of May now, and I am still working out, not running near as much as I need to be, but getting there. I found out a couple of weeks ago that Shawn Byrne will be one of the Team Leaders for the final leg from Des Moines to Lincoln. What an honor for Shawn as well as for the State of Oklahoma. Congradulations Shawn!!!
Now the only thing for "Worm" to worry about is if Lincoln will survive the two of us!!!
