The Hunting Adventure

I'm sketching for Scavenger Hunt from Life #26.  We always have an adventure just going to do the most mundane things.  Gene got a call on Thursday that his previous blood draw needed repeating as something was high and they wanted to repeat while fasting.  Friday we got up and went to the lab at the doctor's office.  They said we wouldn't have to wait long like you do in the lab upstairs.  We fasted and got their about 8:15 thinking we would go to breakfast after.  Well, we waited and waited.  Finally asked and the nurse said she didn't know we were there or why, she would check.  Finally about 10:00 they decided that Gene's previous draw was fine and all was normal.  We could leave.  I wonder who didn't get the call to have their blood drawn again.  Hmmmm.

For Scavenger Hunt 26

Number 6, doorway - into the lab area.  I hurried as I thought we would only be there a few minutes.  On my iPhone with the App, Brushes.

Number 7, overhead - we walked yesterday and I sketched from a bench by the pond/lake in the travel sketchbook with a Zig Millennium 05.  Perspective like that is hard.  Need to do more overhead items!

The Longhorns won the Regional.  The Air Force Falcons are amazing.  They are all officers and mostly pilots at the Air Force Academy.  One was going on to medical school the others to regular service flying and serving to keep us free.  They all salute the flag and each other when they make a home run or a great play.  So polite and respectful, but still strong competitors and fun to see and they have fun, too.  They hadn't been in a Regional tournament since the 1960s.  I hated to see them lose.  Dang.  I'm happy they came to play in Austin.

The other teams were Louisiana Tech and Dallas Baptist.  They played hard as well.   And a good time was had by all.  It is hard just to get to the Regionals so cheers for them all.

The Longhorns go on to the Super Regional next weekend.  We won't know until this afternoon if they will play here or at Eastern Carolina.

Our other team, Texas State Bobcats, where Larry went to school, went to the Regional at Stanford.  They play today for the championship there.  If they win over Stanford they might get a Regional in San Marcos.  That would be a first and could end up with one in Austin and one in San Marcos.  

Go Bobcats and Hook 'em Horns!!

Well, I am glad the blood test was all okay. I hope you got a big brunch out of the deal.

My sister sent me a picture of the Texas Tech pitcher, who is from Duncan. I don't know him, but it is fun that he is from here. Maybe you have seen him pitch.

Bag Blog, we finally just went to the grocery store and came home. We did see the pitcher in Austin. Sorry to see that Ok State, Texas State and Texas Tech are out of the CWS. Texas has a Super Regional back east against Eastern Carolina or some such. Oklahoma State scored so many runs and had so many hits. Like enough for a whole season in the one Regional. Wow.

I hate when you rush a sketch and then have a lot of time left over. But it is annoying when they get you there and you sit and sit and sit.

Hope your team wins!
