Boomerangs Are Coming Back

Or maybe I should say: We’re coming back to boomerangs. I have purchased the airline tickets and I’ve reserved the room, so it is official: Ace and I are attending the 2006 US Boomerang National Championships and Exposition in Conyers, GA.

It’s been 3 years since we attended our first-ever boomerang tournament: The 2003 Nationals in Houston. You may recall that in that tournament, Ace collected so many medals around his neck that he could barely stand up straight. I was even able to score a few medals myself. This year, Ace will have his work cut out for him as he is moving up from the Novice division to the Intermediate division. This means he and I will actually be competing against each other. Vegas is split on whether the young lion can take down his dad, but I have a feeling that if Ace can deal with the pressure, he’ll make quite a good showing for himself.

We’ve got about a month until the trip and we’ve got lots to do. I hope to find time to make some boomerangs to enter in the craftsmanship contests, and I still need to produce or procure some particular event-specific boomerangs so Ace and I don’t have to share all the time.

    If Andrew is the “Young Lion”, then Bruce is the “Lion in Winter”. Just a little bit slower, happens to everyone.

    Now that I know you read this, I’d better watch what I write.
