A New Summer Gig

I know it's been awhile since I wrote a blog so I figured it was time to check in. 

 

First of all, I can't believe it's almost June!  This spring has flown by.  We ended our postseason workouts the first week of May so our players could prepare for final exams.  They all left campus by mid-May and then our lone senior, Keyokah Mars-Garrick, graduated on May 20th. 

 

This month I've seen many of my son's teeball games, went to Boston for America East meetings and then back up for a Red Sox game (boo- go Yankees!), we had our first annual Men's and Women's Golf tournament at Hartford Golf Club (which was a huge success) and I even broadcasted my first TV game for the CT Sun.  I'm not sure how I got roped into this broadcasting gig and I'll have to admit I was a little nervous for my first one, but overall it was a lot of fun.  The play by play man, Bob, made it really smooth and it was easy to talk about something I know so much about- basketball!  I have a few more games this summer (July 1, September 9 & 23)and hope to get better each time I do it.  

 

So as May winds down, I'm preparing for my sister's wedding this weekend (fingers crossed for sun!) and head into June hoping for lots of relaxing days by the pool with my family.  Then it will be out recruiting again in July! 

 

Have a great summer.
