I want to post about my week off last week – I think I’ll go in reverse order. So let’s start with 4 Sport weekend. Fun as always. We didn’t have Ton-Loc this year, but the replacement was a suitable one. Uncle Billy’s son Roger made his first Four-Sport Weekend appearance and certainly added some fun and entertainment to the festivities in much the same way Tony always does.

He got so drunk Saturday night that when he woke up to play golf at 7am Sunday morning, he was still drunk. This year the event comprised of bowling, the Reds game, golf, and there was swimming for the boys, as well as a little bit of corn-hole competition. What made the weekend a little more interesting and enjoyable was the personal conversations that took place. It was nice to see our family open up a little bit. It was a little more real…I mean, we always have fun, but this year was a reflection that life is not all fun and games. So The Whited News would like to applaud the family for being more open to personal discussions and conversations of real substance.

We also found out, as alluded to in the previous posting of TWN, that Lisa and Dan are expecting their first child in March 2007. How cool is that! We are very eager to meet little Easton Whited when he/she enters the world. This was apparently not the only surprise of the weekend...Alex Whited was "frankly" surprised to discover that Nan was still alive, and had no reservations in disclosing this to her.

The Reds game on Saturday was great despite being a little warm. It was a very close nail-biter that came down to the very last play of the game – a two-out, two-run infield single in the bottom of the ninth to give the Reds a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies
