Okay so sometimes you just feel down...especially if you're female.
Then you've got to take stock and realize what the good things are in
your life. Like Lynn said, I can die happy now that I've met all my
volleyball heroes.

I played in my first Manhattan 6 man tourney and it was awesome!
While my team- known fondly as "the Women of Enron" did not win, we
had fun and I hopefully will lose the E tanline on my shoulder
sometime soon.

The highlight of the tournament was seeing so many volleyball heroes
in one place! I met Steve Timmons, the reason I started playing
indoor volleyball and probably why I've dated at least 1 red head in
my life :) I then met a volleyball player who is a regular on the NBC
soap Passions- known as Luis. He was quite good and played for Los
Muchachos- my friend's restaurant's team- with some wonderful San
Diegans Eli Fairfield, Masui Allen, Mike Mattarocci, and of course my
hero, second only to Sinjin...Randy Stoklos.

He was so nice I was practically swooning and he actually thanked me
for asking him for a photo- how is that for meeting your hero! Like
Lynn said, he played awesome and really took command of the team when
the refs made a few questionable calls. They played awesome and it
was great to watch them gather such a huge crowd. They were all fired
up and just amazing to watch. I definitely will be out to play next
year!

Randy, thanks for making my year!
