I posted a few days ago about the sprint boat races Lisa and I went to Saturday. Well, I was planning to edit the video Tuesday and have it online this morning, but that didn’t work out. The editing was not going well Tuesday.

So today I finished it up. Enjoy.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be a sports team mascot?

Well, I didn’t quite find out. But a few other people did. Eastern Washington University held tryouts Friday for people who want to be the next Swoop, the school’s eagle mascot. The event was the subject of my latest video for S-R.com.

I took a trip up to Spokane today to produce a video on the Spokane Chiefs’ homecoming after they won junior hockey’s Memorial Cup. It’s a big deal for Spokane … or at least the 3,000 fans who showed up to Spokane Arena to welcome the team.



Road, soccer, sun, burning

Lisa decided to come to Spokane with me today. I had to report on a state quarterfinal high school boys soccer game. And indeed, it was the first 90-plus day of the year. And sunny.

So, we roasted. We sat in the sun for only two hours, but we look like we lounged around all day. Now we’re back in my air-conditioned Pullman apartment, putting on aloe vera.

The picture below is Lisa on the drive home, covering herself with a sweater to ward away the evil sunlight.
