Volleyball Tryouts Letter

Dear Volleyball Hopeful,

Today I had two hours to make a quick assessment of your skill.  I watched your work ethnic during conditioning.  You didn't put forth a 100%.  I watch you attempt to serve the ball numerous times.  Please practice more, I need my team to be able to make their serves.  If you can do a simple drill and pass the volleyball, I have to let you go.  I know that you think I pick only my favorites and that the only girl who I kept, you were better than her.  It could have been your attitude.  It is not easy for me to crush your dreams.  I remember what it is like to tryout, which is why I hate tryouts because I remember too well.  Please keep working hard and tryout next year. 

Thanks,

Coach B.

The Price I Paid for Looking Awesome.

I learned a very important lesson while traveling through our airport security.  I wear sandals because I know I have to remove my shoes, I remove my jacket and everything out of my pockets.  I place my electronics in the bins properly.  What I didn't realize? My new sparkle butt jeans are considered metal on the new body scanners.  I was able to be patted down on my bum and my hands were tested for explosives. (Twice-on the return trip) 

The price I pay to look awesome while traveling.
