Today I saw the USAF Academy men's lacrosse team open the season against the University of Maryland. I watched the game with Tacoma friend Robby Holt, who's been transferred to Charleston and who played lacrosse at the usaf academy before he became a pilot.
There were several new things; watching lacrosse in jacksonville, seeing air force play (I actually watched maryland play once in college park), etc.
However, my favorite new experience was hearing someone boo extremely inappropriately.
The game benefitted wounded warrior, a charitable group for veterans. After they'd done the fairly somber ceremony afterwards for the veterans, the maryland coach accepted the award for his team winning the game. He started giving a speech about what an honor it was to play air force and to be a part of the game. The stadium was silent as he spoke. Then some big guy down front in the stands in an air force shirt all of a sudden cut through the silence, yelling "BOOOOOOOOOO....."
It was so out of context...not something you hear every day..

The Plan
- Kirt
- Jacksonville, Florida
- At the beginning of my 29th year I said to myself: "Self, I need to wrap up my twenties in a memorable way." Upon the suggestion of Professor A.A. Marsh, I decided to do one new thing each day for one year, from the day of my 29th birthday to my 30th birthday. I will record each new thing on this blog. I've got some ideas but I'll need a lot more; 365 days means a lot of novel experiences to come up with. If you read this, and you can think of a new thing I can do, please let me know. With your help, the last lap of my twenties will be the best one.
