0600 hours, June 2, 2000: The day started out simple enough, got up normal time, brushed
my teeth, combed my hair (what hair I have left), and fed the kids some breakfast. Hannah
finally gets up (hi honey!), and lumbers into the kitchen. As we're all eating breakfast
like one big (hungry pack of wolves)..., uhh..., happy family, Hannah says, "hey guys why
don't we go bowling today?", still munching on my soggy bran flakes, I deftly say "that
would be wonderful". So after breakfast we pack up and head to the Kadena bowling center.
upon entering we noticed it was quite empty and I couldn't help notice the theme to 'The
Good, the bad and the ugly' playing on the music box..., Alina, Clarissa, Hannah and I
proceded to gather up bowling balls and headed to our lane. The battle was fierce! I bowled over pins
like a hungry mob attacking an abandoned bread truck (Clint Eastwood would've been proud..., 'sniff, sniff')!
Alina went forth and proved to be a formidable opponent to Hannah. She proceded to do a little victory dance when she defeated Hannah in
the first game (sorry Han, I have to tell it how it happened). Alina and Hannah had one more
show-down but allas Alina's guns were faster today...., as they approached each other in the glint of the
mid-day sun Alina was calm and cool..., it was quite visable that Hannah was sweating profusely..., both players
fired there balls with stunning precision but when the dust cleared one man (or woman in this case) was left standing....,
Alina won with a surprising victory!! She had no intention of rubbing in her
victory over Hannah and displayed her humbleness. All in all I would say we..., by we I mean Clarissa, Alina and I had
a great time..., Hannah on the other hand...., oh well, she'll get over it! :o

Ah yes Summertime! Nothing like going to the beach and taking in a few rays. On this day
we (Alina, Clarissa and I..., just before we decided to go to the beach we had to drop
Hannah off at work) went to the Kadena Marina. We didn't stay too long, we walked the
beach and picked up some shells, mostly we were enjoying the nice view and breeze! I'm stll trying
to get the sand out of my shoes....,
