jdb,

i'd be happy to take you out and show you the ropes a little around the valley.  Are you still doing the grid kids thing at Selah Jr high in the evenings?

[jdb]

  you got the wrong guy :chuckle does the affect the invite? JB

[General Disarray]

hmm, my bad... I thought you had said to me last year that you were doing the 2 hours an evening on the sidelines watching practice and having to watch all the doves flying over the field.  no biggie, doesn't affect the invitation at all.

lol oh yea that was me I'd just forgot no football this year thank god! great game and I love to watch my kids play but it takes a ton of time. you shoot any doves this year? Jb

[General Disarray]

we did fairly well early on, but I'm helping coach this year and a ton of time is an understatement! It's been fun though seeing how our 8 year olds got the snot kicked out of them last year and are now playing tough and having a blast as 9 year olds.  We went from about 24 kids last season to only 17(typically 14 or 15 on game day) this season.  Lots of kids playing every play of the game.  Yesterday we were blowing out the other team at half time so we called off the dogs and started putting our linemen in the backfield and our backs on the line.  Still scored 3 more times!

What kind of schedule do you work? can you get away for afternoon shoots during the week? if not, weekends work too, although they're usually busier.
