Steve Largent is a gentleman.

Today I had football practice at two o'clock pm. I went to bed so late I decided that I would try to sleep in. I find for some reason I am never able to. I got less than eight hours of sleep before I started my day. I got up and took care of Amber followed by a trip to my IS office to check my e-mail.

I headed off to the field in Moscow. It was a shorter practice. I got there an hour early so I started to work on my engineer workbook. There are a ton of pages to do in it. I was working on the multiple choice questions. I did there for about forty-five minutes. I got out and joined everyone who was gathering for practice. The defense coordinator had given a talk yesterday about being role models. He talked about working as a team. He spoke of being respectful and leaving it on the field. He said he did not care for the "stick-kill" chant that they had used the week before. I really liked what he said. I call it the Steve Largent principle. He was a gentleman but he played hard. I see Steve Largent and Dennis Rodman as being the opposites in everyway. Largent played hard. He did not talk smack. He played his game and let his performance do the talking. That is that way I like to play and that is the way I expect my softball team to act.

After practice was over I went to the fire station and worked on my engineer packet some more. I was watching some TV. The resident's from the station were helping with a live burn for the recruits. They all came back around five o'clock pm. I went over to the TV and we started to watch American Pie. John came down around six and we all talked about the shooting call. The reserves were the first on scene. They had to do the CPR and all the other things that went along with that.

We did vehicle maintenance. I helped with Rescue Thirty-Two. After maintenance I went home. I watch Malcolm in the Middle before going to bed at ten pm. It was nice to get to bed that early since I normally get to bed a lot later than that.
