Michael
turned twelve in July 2009, just after a 7400 mile road trip with his
Grandpa Dick. His newest interest is fishing, and on the trip he fished in
ponds, lakes, a Mississippi bayou, and the Atlantic Ocean. He's also
enthusiastically learning to play the guitar. He watches every hockey game on TV that he can and is a
Colorado Avalanche fan. He's also a huge baseball fan and played in a city
rec league, a travel team, and for his school. He follows the Fresno Grizzlies (San Francisco Giants Triple-A farm
team), attending as many games as possible, and has been to major league
games in San Francisco and Oakland. In 2008-09, his final year at McKinley
Elementary, he was a straight A student. |
