When my friend invited me to a basketball playoff game, I wasn’t really sure. I had went once before, and I had spent most of the time trying to get my dad or mom to chat with me.

However, another friend named Rocky was at my house when he had called. He had jumped with excitement, and the look on his face was irresistible. My dad ushered me to go, and told me it was a chance of a lifetime to get invited to a playoff for free. I didn’t even know what a playoff was, but I sensed it was probably an important game.

Previously, we had came and investigated from another point of view. There had been a long island in the middle of the lake. It was really quite interesting.

Well, today it would be even more interesting, because I was going to ride my kayak on the lake!

I was a header maniac yesterday. Sound strange? Not if you have been watching me over the last week.

Why?

Over the last week, I have been totally revamping the site. You can see it evident if you’ve been to my site before. The background has changed, the header has changed (actually, it changes every time you reload now), the style has changed, and even the pages have changed! Continue reading →
