July3
Captain Brian Thompson delivers “MoJo” to her new berth at Lake Lanier. we’ll keep the Marina a secret with concerns around paparazzi, and now “Chris”.
the video was taken with my iPhone 4.8. so, the image is far from perfect. although the story, and the moment with Emma Jo will be, and forever, priceless.
this weekend already has it’s share of adventures with great stories. I managed to get the boat out of our slip in good form (with only one bump) with rousing cheers from our new dock neighbors. returning her to the slip later was something of a different story. but, the good will continues.
more later. rest assured of that.
I’ll trust you, and all of you, to have a great 4th of July (this corrects my “Memorial Day” typo) weekend with your families. we certainly have a lot to be grateful for.
peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

JBS U14 Shockers Nation are 2010 Kohl’s Cup Champions
Sometimes we simply must set the rough-and-tumble of life aside, and just breathe (some of those times are chest-clenching gasps).
I had an awesome weekend of soccer with my daughter Haley Anne. She had one of the best tournaments of her achingly young life. And, as both a coach, and certainly a Dad, I was so proud of her. Especially in the finals wher she swept any hope of victory out of our opponents hands again, and again, and again leading the defense through four matches with only two goals against us.
We had a slow start Saturday morning losing to the Hinesville Gators (that apparently were undefeated through the regular season and the tournament with no goals against), but surged in the last fifteen minutes to set the pace for the rest of the tournament. We saw some dramatic action, and we proved that we can play and beat anybody with fantastic play from each and every player. In the finals we got that first match back against the Gators for the tournament Cup.
Thank you, and Shockers all.
NOTE: In last year’s Kohl’s Cup U14 Shockers Christy and Mars guest played for (now) sister team JBS Breakers who beat that same Hinesville Gators team in the finals. It was also that very same Gators squad that hurt (then) U14 Breakers Colette with an injured ACL. So, a JBS U14 team has won consecutive Kohl’s Cups and fought through the Gators to earn that distinction, while exacting a form of satisfaction (we should not use words like revenge or vengeance – oops, I just did!) for Colette along the way.
