Here we are in the middle of nowhere, Dogwood NC.  I haven’t had a cell signal for two days now, which takes some getting used to as my iphone has become an extension of my right arm.  I am able to get spotty internet service with my broadband card, but it’s always like using dial-up.  Nevertheless, we are having a great time with the kids, boating, hoping on the golf cart, or taking the tractors out.  It’s been a fun couple of days and tomorrow we’re off to the outer banks.

We’ll…we didn’t win.  In fact, we didn’t even make it out of our pool.  It is a small consolation that the first place team in our pool, Smack, ended up winning the whole thing.  Their team was full of AVP players and Olympians so it was fun to play them.  I also had an awesome solo block against Fred Souza and weight-roomed Brook Billings, a definite highlight of the tourney for me.  Here’s a pic of our group at 6-man, The Flint Tropics.  Let’s get tropical!

Get ready for the 2008 Surf Festival 6-Man Volleyball Tournament.  This has been a labor of love for the last 8 years or so and it just so happens that it falls on or around my birthday each year.  I’ve had the pleasure of winning this tournament in 2002 as a part of Team Monkey Butt.  

The last couple years I’ve played with the Rockstar and Virtual Tourist Teams and we’ve finished as high as 5th. This year I’m switching gears and playing with my friends from 840. Although we have no chance of winning, it should be ridiculous amounts of fun.  After all, its about the journey not the end result.  Here’s a clip from last year so you have an idea of what’s going to happen next weekend.
