Two new for you...

I always think it's interesting when people from your past reemerge somewhat unexpectedly.

On Saturday night I covered a NBA Development League game between the Idaho Stampede and the Iowa Energy. It shouldn't seem surprising but little did I know there were a few Iowa all-star basketball players on the Energy roster, all of which I had run into in the past.

First was a former Cyclone, Curtis Stinson, whose picture I had taken on multiple occasions while working at the Iowa State Daily. Playing alongside Stinson were former University of Iowa ballers Adam Haluska, Jeff Horner and Doug Thomas. I had seen Horner play years ago when he played for an Iowa high school which often tipped off against mine. Haluska, who as some of you may know, once played for Iowa State before transferring to the University of Iowa for reasons unknown to me.


On Sunday I went up to the local ski hill which was ending its season with an end of the year "Beach Party". It was a pretty fun time, although it would have been more fun to be skiing than to be watching people ski. Here are a couple shots from my afternoon.
