Day 5

My photo of the day comes to you directly from the Iowa Shrine Bowl.  I was pretty stoked when I got this photo.  Great gear definitely didn’t hurt. Hopefully I can hit up some more sporting events in the fall.  By the way, red team beat the shit out of white team 21-0.

Day 4

So far this project has been a bit of a grind, but I think in a year I’ll look back and be happy I did it.  This afternoon I took a little trip to the Legion to have a couple bottles of inspiration, and saw these vets playing some shuffleboard.

Kim Gross sends a puck down the shuffleboard at his opponents grouping on July 23, 2010 at the Ames’ American Legion on Main Street in Ames.  Gross plays shuffleboard almost every Friday at the Legion and says when it comes to strategy, “trash talking is the most important,” but the key to winning is “a little luck.”
