So last night Mazie and I went to watch Michael pole vault at an indoor track meet. I think it was the Section V championships for Class B/C. We were also able to watch a bunch of other events too since they were all going on at the same time. Below are a few photos of Mike vaulting. I think he was able to clear 11′6″ before finishing.

Clearing 11′6″!

Going into the bar instead of over it

So I was looking at some NFL draft information and came across some heights and weights for prospective players. I’m currently about 6′2 (rounded up) and ~195lbs. This got me to wondering what kind of positions I could play if I were a tad more athletic than I am now.

If I had a mean streak in me, I could play Safety as I found a couple of players listed at roughly 6′2″ and 190lbs.

If I added more muscle, I have decent height to play WR as there were a few wide receivers listed around 6′2″ and usually 210lbs. Also if I couldn’t catch anything, I’d also have a good height/weight for a cornerback.

I would also be able to play my favorite position of quarterback. Most of the prospective players were around 6′2″ to 6′4″ and usually around 200lbs. Even Drew Brees who’ll be playing in the super bowl tomorrow is listed at 6′0″, so I have a good height for a QB though maybe a tad on the shorter end.

Running back is also possible but most of the listed RB’s were a little shorter and a bit heavier (more muscle).

So it looks like the NFL could be in my future! Too bad I’d probably get killed the first time someone attempted to tackle me.

So over this past Christmas holiday, Mazie and I did a little bit of decorating to our house. We’re still slow in the whole decorating aspect, but we’ll get there eventually. Anyways, we were thinking of what to hang on the walls, so Mazie came up with the idea of framing some photos that I’ve taken.

I think I’ve taken over 20,000 photos in the past few years, so there had to be some good ones to hang up. One issue is that a large majority of my photos are typically of people, specifically of the YG. It might be a little weird for someone to walk into our house and see a huge portrait of a YG kid. So anyways, after sorting through a ton of photos, we decided to start by printing and framing the following photos.

So we printed these three photos to start with and hung them up. They actually came out looking pretty good printed in black and white. Nothing too spectacular, but we enjoy them nonetheless.

So I put together this collage to show off a few photos from 2009. I think you should be able to find most of these in either a post I made or in the photo albums. Anyways, Happy New Year everyone!

Thanks to the Chen’s for hosting this year’s YG Christmas Party. I put together an album from the evening. Here are a couple of photos from the evening.

Don’t forget to check out the album!

So this past weekend, Mazie and I took a quick trip out to California with my parents and brother to see some family and to visit my grandparents grave. While there, we were also able to visit the Getty Museum and take a walk down Rodeo drive. Lots of expensive shops and fancy cars. Here are two photos from the weekend.

Which one looks more like the statue?

Rolls Royce anyone?
