All star team

Owen had his first of three practices last night for the All Star game on the 4th of July. There are 2 other kids from his team and the other players come from four other Farm level teams. He seemed to be just about the smallest kid there, but he did ok. The coaches seemed to me to put some pressure on them, mentioning that all the players will be able to hit into the outfield, etc, different from a typical Farm level game.

We booked a house in Tahoe for a few days in late July. Luckily the place we booked is on the north side. The fire is not on that end. The place that's burning is quite near where we stayed in Feb. of 2006, Camp Richardson Resort. So far more than 200 homes have burned. Terrible.
