Well, most of the people who read this thing probably already know... but I have a photo in the MSNBC 2008 Year in Pictures slide show. It's the second time I've had a photo end up this collection of images. The last time was in 2006 with my photo of a ladybug crawling across a fence.
Anyway, feel free to go vote for your favorite picture. And like I told my KSU photo folks... my picture really can't stand up to some of the major history that happened this year like Obama, Michael Phelps, the war.. but it's cool to be included next to some historic moments.
I'll leave you with something kind of funny I over heard tonight at a soccer game. I almost said something, but then thought I better not.
The Terrebonne soccer team was bringing the ball down the field and were close to the goal. They were passing back and fourth trying to set up a shot to score. And the Ref blew the whistle and signaled that it was halftime.
A lady in the stands started yelling "We were about to shoot the ball! How can you call halftime when we're about to shoot?"
At first I thought she was just trying to be silly. But she kept yelling at the ref as he walked off the field. "OH Come on sir! What were you thinking?" She yelled a few other phrases, then started complaining to the people around her about how stupid it was for the ref to stop the game.
Really? Welcome to sports lady.
I looked at some fans from the other team and gave them one of those "can you believe that psycho?" look.
So here's a shot from the game tonight. A really nice fog came through and made for some fun pictures. I was really hoping some nice action would happen right in front of me, but no luck. So you get a ref just standing there in his yellow shirt.
