Keith K. with the Jake trophy:

As promised - Here's the captain of this year's winning Jake scramble team just moments after the elabrate presentation ceremony.

We have just learned that he may also be moving south soon so it would seem the trophy will be doing some traveling in the future.

After Keith fondles it for a while we will try to get it to Dee as he was Keith's teammate and certainly contributed to the win... That is to say I'm sure there were many, many things that Dee did to help bring the team to victory that day... Nothing's jumping out at me at this moment but never-the-less...

Welp, it's all over...

Softball ended last night in dramatic fashion. Last inning, score tied, bases loaded, infield in...
WALK OFF GRAND SLAM!!

The only thing better would have been if we won the game.

Mashie Nibblet's Birthday:

This should do it for birthday's this month. Rosco's (a.k.a. Mashie) is today. He's made it to 39 (oh mamma)!

While I'm at it let's give him some props for having a great (softball) game last night. We won the semi-finals and that means the finals start Friday. We were a well oiled machine just like the old days.

Happy Birthday Rosco and many more my brother.

Stubby's Special Day:

They are coming fast & furious this month boys! Today is Stubby's Birthday.

By the way I forgot to mention he "jerked one into the seats" in last Tuesday nights debacle. It was a bright spot in an otherwise dank affair.

Happy Birthday my brother - hoping you get all you deserve.

Squirrel's Birthday

Everybody up!

Today is Squirrel's birthday! He's been out of our site for some time and who knows what the hell he's up to.

Anyone have any updates?

What a classic picture this is.

Happy birthday Squirrel you old dog.

More News:

The rumors are true Lt. Stalkfleet is moving to North Carolina. No one is quite sure why although it's speculated that he can buy 3 times the house for much less money in this market and the weather is much better and things cost a lot less down there (apparently these things are important to him - the silly bastard). Good luck Stalkfleet, good luck and Godspeed. This does not mean you are exempt from Jake however and we look forward to seeing you come June of '07.

Rosco's work softball (playoffs):
2nd game of the semi's last night and it is increasingly apparent that I am getting too old to play this game at a high level. Bumps, bruises, groin pulls etc. 6 Jakers were present (it was like the old times with the notable exception of us losing the game). Dancer, Stubby, Doc, Heff, Me & Rosco. We showed some flashes but by and large had a sub-Jake performance.
Game 3 next Tuesday. My groin can't wait...

9|11

Literally, not a day goes by that I don't think about it. Just going in the city, a glance at a tall building, seeing an airplane up in the sky, even doing nothing in particular - it will jump into my mind. I still can't believe it and I'm still just as pissed off about it 5 years later.

Jake News:

5 Jake members came together to help git'er-done on Rosco's (work) softball team last night. Rosco didn't make it cause he had some stuff wacked off his body but Dancer, Chag, Heff, Doc & Stubby made an appearance and all contributed to the win.

Cool Chief's daughter (who had been in an accident involving a moving vehicle), I'm happy to report is doing better than fine and is expected to make a full recovery. Our thoughts are with her Chiefy!

I'm told rumors are swirling about a founding Jake member packing it up and moving South of the Mason Dixon Line. I can't reveal his name but I can tell you it begins with Lt. More on this as information becomes available.

Trophy Presentation:

The trophy will be presented to Keith K. (everyone's favorite Junior member) at tonight's big football pool party.

The presentation photo will follow but here is his 'High School Hall of Fame Induction Photo' just for laughs. He looks like he should be running for Congress.

Other Jakers in attendance tonight will be ME, Dancer, Rosco & Heff.

Happy 'Start of the Football Season' to all!
