Connor Breaks Hand In Season Final

Connor Fights With Two Opponents For Rebound!

With the tournament ready to start next Saturday, the Golda Meir Owls were delt a serious blow when Connor broke a joint in his right hand during today's hard fought game! The break is where the index finger joins together with the rest of the hand at the main knuckle. The emergency room spokesperson indicated that this can be troublesome for a person of Connor's age due to the fact that his joints and bones are still growing. Connor was released from the hospital following treatment.
Unfortunately, Connor will have his hand immobilized for at least 10 days, after which he will still have to be extremely careful of what he does with that hand. This effectively brings his basketball career at Golda Meir to a close, as he will be moving on to middle school next year.

To Connor's credit, he played through the pain and finished out the game, even though the break happened late in the first half. This is the kind of dedication that the entire Owl's team has shown in a season that has been marked by having to play teams that have been older and considerably taller than the Owls.

Connor wished his team "Good Luck next week".

Last Day In Dingle

Farmers Work With Their Dog Finnbar , Tommy And Others The Traveling Trio On Their Last Day Well here we are on our last day in Dingle. We will be leaving soon to drive over to the Shannon area so that we can leave in the morning about 11:00 am. Yesterday was another wonderful day, made more so by the first full day of no rain and mostly sunny weather. We went to church at St. James Church which is the local Church Of Ireland church in Dingle. A small group, only the vicker and 6 others besides ourselves. It is a great little church, very simple but just what you would expect in Dingle. This church hosts music concerts 3 times a week during the summer. With the Sun out we took a drive out by Eagle Mt and down to Don Quon at the end of the peninsula. And then we found two archaeological sites just down the road from our cottage that were absolutely wonderful. While we were there our neighbors were out herding a flock of their sheep with their sheep dog, this was just a delight to...

Day Four

Irish Sea Gulls The Waves Rolling In A Typical Dingle Landscape The Cliffs Along Dingle Way The Blasket Islands (Sleeping Giant) Sean Daly Shows How It's Done Day four started with some clear weather and sunshine. It was our day to go to the Crystal shop and see Sean Daly work his magic. He showed us how he cuts the Crystal, polishes it and gave us an opportunity to buy as much as we wanted. And we wanted a lot!!! After visiting a few more spots in Dingle, we headed around the Dingle peninsula drive and it seemed like we stopped every 10 minutes to see one more spectacular view of the Atlantic and the rocks. We also were able to see the Blasket Islands even though the fog and mist was moving in and out most of the afternoon. Around 4:00 we found a nice pub in Bally Fueritor where we could get a bowl of soup and a toasted sandwich and a pint of Guinness. In Ireland, the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday is called Pancake Day. Everyone fixes pancakes for dinner before the beginnin...
