Hello all,
The teams are almost set and we have 4 slots available. I will send an email to those that have been placed on a team and their tee times. The golf course would like us to pay in advance so I have set up this payment button. If you wish you can pay now and not have to deal with it on Saturday.
First tee time will be 10:00 AM Saturday July 12.
Or send your checks to :

Playing for fun
Posted on June 20, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging | Leave a Comment
There were many types of swing sets when I was growing up that we used to spend hours playing with our friends on. Today most play sets that you see or purchase are made of wood and not the aluminum that we were accustomed too. The play sets today are more like an adventure that have multi levels to them that challenge the kids to use their creative minds to navigate and get their exercise. This has helped our kids to develop other coordination skills more so than they would have with just a simple swing.

When making your travel plans something to consider is travel health insurance which will help protect your if you have a medical emergency or something else comes up where you need to postpone your trip.

Are your home furnishings up to date
Posted on June 12, 2008 - Filed Under advertising | Leave a Comment
I was visiting my parents last summer and noticed that they still had a couch from in the den from when I was in high school and I had to ask them why they had not updated in over 20 years. And my dads response was that there was nothing wrong with the old couch, and sometimes it just makes more sense to stick with what you got. So the thought came to mind about getting home furniture pictures from your folks or maybe even some pieces that you have held onto since high school and submitting those for the slide show. It would be interesting to see what is still out there.
Outgrowing your acne
Posted on June 12, 2008 - Filed Under Class of 1988 | Leave a Comment
When we were teenagers there were only a handful of acne treatment options. Many of which contained harsh chemicals that would dry out your skin and almost make it worse. The acne always seemed to show up just in time for Prom or a special event that was being planned. Now going into our 20 year reunion one of the questions has come to mind do we really outgrow some of our issues from High School. I would also love to see someone show up with the classic mullet and kicked that whole fashion statement off again. Come on, I dare you!

Being prepared
Posted on June 11, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging | Leave a Comment
My son just completed his first year in Cub Scouts and he really enjoyed all the activities that his den did, but really enjoyed the outdoor activities. It was mission of his to earn his various badges that would enable him to graduate to a Bobcat and one of the activities to get him there was outdoor camping. He was ready to tackle the great outdoors and build his own fire, set up his own tent, and cook by the fire side. He even wanted to go out and invest in various tactical gear such as various belts and pants that would enable him to carry some of his camping items like flint, his knife, and canteen in. I assured him that there would be plenty of time for all that as he grew up. It is great to see your kids grow up and have a passion for something.

For web design you need a monitor with clarity and size. This is especially great when you are working on multiple sites and need to be able to compare them side by side. There are so many manufacturers of monitors, but makers like Viewsonic have a great reputation and have a huge selection for various needs. You will find a great selection of wide screen monitor ranging from 17-22″ LCD monitors that will really make your work and your internet experience much better.

Technology today
Posted on June 9, 2008 - Filed Under Class of 1988 | Leave a Comment
I have noticed that a flash drive I was given will hold 2 Gigs worth of data. That is quite amazing when you consider that it fits on a key chain. I remember when we were in high school that the floppy disks that we had held up to 512K worth of information and we thought that was a lot. It is amazing to think what our kids are growing up with today and I always wondered what we would have done with some of this amazing technology when we were in school. I know for sure that my history and English reports would have been a lot better and the time to complete would have been much better if we could have saved all that work on a laptop.
Should we video tape the reunion?
Posted on June 7, 2008 - Filed Under Class Reunion | Leave a Comment
As we gear up for our reunion one of the thoughts was to video tape parts of the different events so that those that could not be in attendance might have a chance to see what took place. I have invested in a digital camcorder to take some footage and upgraded the memory in my laptop since the editing and storage of the footage will take up quite a bit of space. We will then probably load the videos up on one of the video sharing sites so that we do not overload our blog. So if you are interested in helping to tape some footage for the Kamiakin Class of 1988 reunion please let me know so that we can coordinate the various files.

Going to the movies

When we graduated in 1988 one of the top films was Rainman. Yes, I know it is hard to think that it was that long ago and that Tom Cruise was such a hot commodity. The years have flown by and it as we approach our 20 year class reunion we will be adding more fun filled facts to get you thinking back to the 1980’s. These days you can watch movies like Rainman and other hits from the 80’s in your home since most have upgraded to the new flat panel HDTV. This has become such a popular trend that you are seeing more home theaters settings with seating and home theater sconces to really set the mood and make you feel like you are in the theaters. Who knows, we may just have some door prizes with some of those highly acclaimed films from our high school years so stay tuned.

The road to Hana
Posted on May 23, 2008 - Filed Under advertising | Leave a Comment
Maui is actually an island formed by two volcanoes and looks something like a figure eight. The eastern half is the younger and larger part of the island with Mount Haleakala as it’s volcano. This side of Maui is both wetter and drier than the western side of the island. It is wetter on the Northern shore and drier on the Southern shore. The North side of the island is not the tourist section, but the road to Hana is famous. I would definitely consult the local travel guide for suggestions on times and modes of transportation for your trip. This is a tropical drive that you need to take at least once. With all the rain you get on this part of the island, you will see numerous waterfalls and will be on a road that has over 500 hairpin turns and 50 one lane bridges. The trip is 52 miles long, but will take from 2 to 4 hours to make on highway 360 (Hana Highway).

Do you remember what we had back in 1988 when were just learning how to use floppy disks? Now you can find used cisco equipment that back in the day were the major backbone of many businesses technology structure.

Women spend billions of dollars each year buying new cars for themselves and their families. Most women will tell you that purchasing a car is a hassles and rate their experience at the dealership one of their worst shopping experiences. Women now have a place to go to get advice and find dealers who are female friendly.Since more women are int the workforce and have an equal or greater say in large purchases it only makes sense that dealers and auto makers market to the female audience. Soccer moms have made a huge impact in the economy and even politics.

The mini-van is now giving way to the sport utility vehicle that is blending the features of the mini-van with better looks and more features.
