Wedding March

Well, Corky is officially hitched! He and Marci have a blog at corkyandmarci.blogspot.com and there will be more photos available on it soon!

We'll try to put some of the highlight photos on here when we get a chance.

Seniors vs. Senior Citizens

Well, Moses had a staff that parted the sea. We've had staph in the field house. And now the staff went to a whole new place....The high school faculty faced off in the grand championship flag football game against the senior boys last night. That meant Jesse got to play against Randy. It was hilarious to say the least. Randy was talking smack and doing somersaults in front of Jesse to aggravate him.

It should have been called the Metal Bowl because of the silver hair and the various "iron men" and "men of steel"on the field (the iron and steel were in all the pins in knees, plates in necks, etc. on the old guys, mostly Jesse).


I told them they should have adopted new names like Ty Lenol, Jerry Tall, Ben Gay. I also offered to cheer De-Fense De-Fense for the seniors and De-Pends De-Pends for the faculty. It was not well-received. Anyway, when their principal came out to hang out on the sidelines I heard Jesse ask him why he wasn't playing - I shot out that they were going to need SOMEONE still able to move a finger to dial subs for all of them tomorrow! Also not well-received.


Here's the best part - the faculty WON 21-20!

Under Wraps - Randy Prom

Yes, he wore his duct tape tuxedo, but he didn't enter the contest.




Even the rose , the hat, and bowtie were made from duct tape.




Here he is primping and getting ready.


He even made a wallet from duct tape.

Randy starred as Harry the Horse in MFHS's production of Guys and Dolls. He actually sang...



And sang well! Who knew???
