It's been a long time, but here's a little Q&A by Daytona. You might remember it as "Daytona's World", where I ask him random questions about a particular subject and post his answers. So without any delay, here it is...Daytona's World Part (I can't remember).

Christmas 2007

It seems like I should change the name of our blog. After all, we're no longer residence of "Apt. 408. We're more like "the Kingsbury Kings", or "the Kings of Kingsbury". No matter, here are some pics that were taken over the Christmas Holiday. These are the ones I took with my digital camera. Kristy took some with her camera that isn't digital, but still takes wonderful pictures.

Hope you enjoy!!

Funny Joke

Some of you may have heard this through emails, etc. I just wanted to share it with everyone. It's to funny not to...

This is 'COOL'

I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes. We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue. My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, 'What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?'

Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one. And in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response, 'Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son.'

Daytona Doing Great In School

Updating previous blogs, Daytona has improved in school and now his teacher is sending home "good notes". You can tell a little difference in him in only 3 or 4 days. I'm really excited about what the next few weeks have in store for us.

On another note, soccer is now over. Some of you had the chance to see the Hammerheads in person. I coached this year and I believe I did a good job. They say if the children want to play again next season, then you've done your job as a coach. At least at this level of soccer. I was, in turn, very happy when all 6 kids wanted to play for me in the Spring of 2008.

Every season you end up playing some teams twice. It was so exciting to see the kids beat teams they lost to earlier in the season. They ended the year with a win over a team that beat them by 4 or 5 goals. The Hammerheads STOMPED them by 4 or 5 goals themselves. It was so exciting that I actually hurt my back jumping up and down.

After our last game of the season, we had a little soccer party at the house. The parents and players all came to the house for awards, something to eat, and they all got to make their own sundaes. They really enjoyed that last one. Frankly I enjoyed my sundae too. I even had a parent bring me a small gift. The others expressed how they enjoyed watching them progress as the season went forward. The parents of the kids who played last year we're the most appreciative. I think they really appreciated the effort I put into coaching.

All and all it's been a good couple of months. We're all doing fine and looking forward the Christmas. I hope everyone else is doing good too.

Merry Christmas to everyone!!
