What a Week! Let me tell you all about the Graduation Weekend!
Hi everyone! Ryan Here! Well, It has been a busy time lately! Lemme tell you about it. Friday I found out that William, the boy I have been doing BigBrothers/BigSisters with has decided he doesn't want to be in the program anymore, so that really sucks. I wish he would put some more thought into that, but So I had an exit interview with them in the afternoon, and said I wanted to take part of the summer off. But they could match me again in July.
Then my friend Terry Called me up with tickets to the cagerz game. So we went, and boy was it good. Kareem Abdul Jabbar Coaches the Oklahoma Storm. They put up a good fight, but we eventually got them 109-106. So that was pretty lively! Then we went out and had burgers and brews. Saturday started too early when Brent came over to borrow the truck to get a tiller. I decided to get up and went down to the Farmer's market. My friend Candice was there with the flower farm, and I ended up buying some grass finished beef. Mmm Mmm good. I checked on Brent and Brandy and they were about done re-tilling the yard, so I yapped with Brandy for a while, and I think I got her interested in doing BB/BS, so that's cool.
Then I had to bathe, change clothes and pack my stuff for the weekend - graduations a plenty! Took off to topeka and met with my folks, and Jason's inlaws at Coyote Canyon and had a big fat buffet meal. The I had a chance to visit Deanna for a while, so I did that. As usual, her place was spotless, and Cuba the doggie was all happy to see me! She has been working on some pottery lately and I got to see some of it. Nice stuff! Then back on the road to the Lied Center in Lawrence. Jason's hooding was at 7pm, and was a pretty neat affair. So my brother Jason is now Doctor Hampl M.D. Wow, hometown boy makes good. But he can't get us any drugs for another Month . . . Darn! Lots of food and pictures and family fun. Jason and Heather are in Wichita now, but have just bought a house and are moving to Pittsburgh PA to start his internship fo the next three years. That's commitment!
I also swung by my friend Jen's place, but didn't see her car, so I didn't make a call. On Sunday, I went to Marysville for my Brother Travis' graduation from high school. I knew he was smart, but I didn't know how smart! He has straight A's for his entire HS, except for one B in Biology as a Sophomore. he has like a 3.97 GPA! He also got 4 scholarships and is going to attend K-State in the fall. Don and Dana came up from Texas too.

I went home and collapsed, but next week, I'll get my revenge! Me, Jason, and Roger from work are all headed to Colorado for a week of Motorcycle Riding and general relaxation in Heather's Folks' condo. The hot tub is busted, but the satellite works, so we will really be roughing it! Heh Heh. That's it for now, and I have started on a web page for this trip, so it should be up in a while. That's my update for now - check back in every month or so for more - Whatever comes up will be posted on this page.
