    Hello to all my Amputee friends in the world...

     Well Lots of stuff is going on now! I'm in full swing with Wheelchair basketball with the Ct Spokebenders were 12-4 so far everything looks good. I've improved a lot with my speed and movement on the court. I just played in my first full game 40 minutes of non stop banging and picking shooting and over all I had 12 points and 13 rebounds and a bunch of asst. We had 3 games this weekend we went 2-1 our only lost was to the Sixers, We will get them next time!!

    The question everyone had would I be able to play 3 games for 60 minutes non stop, The answer is yes I can!! I pushed and pushed and never stopped and showed everyone I belong in the game. My defence has gotten really good, I know I have fast hands and snatch the ball out of their hands in a blink of an EYE! So that works for my game, I just go after the biggest guy on the court and don't let him/her take the paint. Thats my house!!!

    We played in a tournament in Brocton, MA and went 4 and 0 with a win over the #1 team in the country! That was a very good day.... we went nuts! when the new rankings come out we should be in the top 10 in the country... Last year we got to 6th in the country. This is basketball country up here in CT! So we have to be able to compete with the whole country and win.. were getting there I feel it! Just Believe and get it done!!

    Sure we make golf shoes... heres the thing with shoes made to measure; they have to be worn in, they should be worn hourly the first few days and gradualy "uping" uhmm "weartime". So yes you can make a shoe to easilly slip into. I would use velcro instead of shoestrings.. ;) chris

    Hey Todd It warmed up here this past week. Snow is melting :) Almost ready for Christmas one more shopping day should do it. I am on vacation this coming week from work so I'll have plenty of time to get things organized. It felt so good leaving work today knowing I didn't have to go back for a week!!!! Waiting till spring might be a good idea for the puppy unless you don't mind puppy duty. If I don't talk to you before Christmas have a Merry one!!!! Tracie

    Thanks for the wishes for lots of powder. Since someone broke into my place in Potlatch and stole my ski stuff, I now have a new shaped ski with binding, a new boot and a new set of outriggers. Tried them all out at Anthony Lakes, in the Wallowas. WONDERFUL. I hurt in places I forgot that I had. Can't wait to do it again this weekend Luck Ben
