The exit number for Clinton off of 495 south is "26". The thought has crossed my mind more than once of how funny it would be to paint a "1" in front of the two to help people find the home of Gael Force easier.

When on your physics test you answer using team names in place of team numbers...

Road Trip to LSR '06

- two of the cars can't make the trip at the last minute and we say, 'oh - no biggie - we'll find the room and the seat belts,' while team members wander among the cars.

- one of the cars' battery won't start and the rest of the caravan has left the school parking lot. We get the call and say, 'oh - no biggie - glad it happened now,' and we circle back to jump the battery.

- we get a serious flat tire with a fully loaded trailer during a lunch stop on the way to Houston and say, 'oh - no biggie - I'm glad it happened now rather than later -'

- we get to Houston and there is a room mix-up with our hotel and we say, 'oh - no biggie - it's nice outside, overcast, not raining just rumbling, it'll work out.'

Life is good. It's all about F.I.R.S.T.
