Monday afternoon was Ian's BIS Academic Awards and he ended up with straight A's for the entire year. He was less than interested in the letter grade, but focused on getting the 'gold medal' that came with the achievement; he turns everything into competition. Deb and I are very proud of his efforts. Also nice to see his basketball (and most baseball) teammates earning high marks.
Got home and took advantage of clear skies and mowed the lawn. Afterwards Deb, Ian, and I played some 500 (baseball game) in the backyard. Deb surprised us with her hitting abilities; she had no idea she would be a tomboy at her age.

Jake got home from practice and the pain in his lungs continued to hamper his running. Coach requested we send him in for a chest x-ray to check the pain and plans to hold him off running until we hear the results. Appointment at CMH completed this morning (Tuesday) and xrays show no pneumonia, but doc thinks he has pleurisy (inflammation of the lung lining that prevents deep breathing without severe pain) and has called his season DONE. He worked so hard to overcome his leg injury and now gets hit with this; I feel bad for him as this is the second year in a row that track beat him up. Oh well, a good month of rest and XC (his senior year) summer workouts start. ***The picture to the right is prior to last Friday's Athletic Celebration***
After dinner last night I hopped on the roller again for another solid hour ride. I like the rollers from time to time as they keep your stroke honest (smooth circles).

Heading to SGF this evening for Ian's double-header baseball game. For the rest of the summer he plays two games pretty much every Tuesday night at Ewing Park.
The below clip is from Ian and I's Eco field trip a couple Friday's ago.
The below was snagged from Velo Lex (SGF rider) and it is absolutely hilarious what he is doing to these interviewers
