Getting to say, ” How ’bout them, Lady Cavaliers ” twice in the same night is Awesome Sauce !
The unofficial tote board shows the Varsity team at 15-5 overall, 5-1 in the Three Rivers District.
There are six district matches left with two scheduled for The Hill and four on the road. The fact that our ladies played in two all-day tournaments this season instead of just one has Cindy Edwards looking down the barrel at a potential 20-win campaign !!!
Being that 20 is the normal number of potential matches played, give or take, could we potentially be looking at one of the highest win totals in school history ?
If only this was ESPN and we had a Crack staff of researchers….
Carroll County JV and Varsity played a very talented group from Buchanan and won five out of six sets.
One of those sets required fending off SIX different set points 👉, I think that we could be on to something special !!!
Here, in roughly four hours, I will put on my shoes and drive 🚗 to The Hill for tonights volleyball 🏐 match between our Lady Cavaliers and the Knights of James River.
First of all, at this point in life, it is harder than you think to maintain the level of energy across three plus hours. The first thing you must do is clear your head, and if you are lucky, the second thing is to take a nap 😴. Getting old is highly overrated.
At this particular moment, I am trying to maintain three websites and work on two completely unrelated books. The added pressure with the books is knowing that they will be the final two that I write ✍️.
The Lady I can’t explain is the title of a Jimmy Buffett song from the 1980’s that appeared on his Volcano album. The link above provides a fun two minute ➕️ listen to the thought process of knowing Kristy Jones of Carroll County, Virginia.
The only thing that one needs to be examined with the song 🎵. Jimmy is singing about through the lens of romance while mine is about admiration. Two reasons, one, I have daughters her age and second, have you seen her husband ? I’m pretty sure he could snap me like a twig.
Kristy needs a thank you for the Alumni Day ➕️ she has a role in both six and seven books ➕️ on the main OneofUs.Care web page.
Just like poor Jan Brady would always say – ” Kristy, Kristy, Kristy, why does it always have to be about Kristy ??????
If you don’t know Kristy Jones, you are missing out, if you do, then the song might make sense !
Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day :Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :
Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
The choice for the baseline introduction tonight was originally designed for each player to invite their favorite teacher or staff member to stand with them. But then I thought about the number of people who could fall into the category of a positive influence / role model.
About the match itself, this should be a good one as the Knights of James River High are competing with our Lady Cavaliers for the number two spot behind Glenvar.
Volleyball on The Hill is great stuff, don’t let anyone tell you different !
My problem as of late is that I simply can not keep up with the pace that life is presenting but in the same breath, it’s too difficult to hand something off to someone who I don’t have a history with.
A few weeks back, Lin and I were finishing up a non-stop loop up in Shenandoah Valley when we stopped ✋️by to see 👀 our long-time friends, Barb and Pappy Meade, as the final detour.
Pappy asked for a small favor as he was looking to get the trophy 🏆from his Fantasy football league he runs down to John Galle in Salem.
I smiled 😃 at the thought of having a reason to cross paths with young John Galle once again. I had a front row seat 💺to the growth of John, so yes, I scooped up the trophy and headed south.
The seventh of the seven books 📚 is going to be a non-functional, faith-based book about God using his powers to help a challenged individual reach remarkable levels in life. There are no spoilers here, but everything has to fall into place perfectly, including the need to finish the fifth and six books before turning 100% of the focus towards the ultimate prize.
Nancy Sorrell has a completed book five, it just needs to be produced. John Galle, pictured above with the youngest of his three kiddos, has agreed to take the handoff on book six !!!!
Diamonds 💎 are a Girls Best Friend and the Fellas like them too : Fifty years of feel-good stories that have been collected by me during life’s journey.
The idea 💡 of this book was hatched in the brain 🧠 of a 12 year old underachieving student was instructed to read 📚 a book by one of his teachers.
Mac Davis ( not the country singer, different one ) wrote a book titled ” Great Sports Humor ” and when you aren’t the brightest cookie in the box, it seemed like an easy read.
Mac just collected a series of stories, which had no natural ties to them and created a fun read. My stories are all feel good stories about people and events that I’ve been blessed to encounter over the decades.
Galle provided the cover photo 📸 for Book #2 (Strasburg High School )) and later penned one of the better reads about my life that has been written.
Carroll County High School, Page County High School, West Virginia Tech University are the three lead categories, with the fourth one being Editors choice.
Now, it should make sense why I couldn’t just pass this off to an unknown quantity.
John Galle is OneofUs.Care person, through and through, and I’m so proud to know him.
There is no rush to get this done as a young, hard-working father of three doesn’t need added pressure.
The fresh out of college writer is all grown up now and is an editor !
This link will take you back almost 20 years and is written by the #3 Child who has gone on to accomplish soooooo many things. I’m not sure if it makes the cut or not, but it’s an important one to me !
