It was a more relaxed start today. We even had a mascot.

This is Jasper. Say hi.
Jasper is the seeing-eye dog of a bowler from QLD who bowled so much better than me that I think I'll bowl with my eyes closed next time. I can't be worse than I am now.

But back to the Rockets.

Ron (you know Ron -- he's been here forever) has a very nice camera and spends much of the time taking pictures. (As you would.)

Cheeses. Ron would like Jo to stop that now.
Here's some of the pics he's taken of the bowlers for your viewing pleasure:

Karina, Adam and Mark L.

Emma W and Candice

Nick, Ben and Mark M

Angela, Tim and Warren

Amy, Emma C and Natham
That's the bowlers. Here's some of the so-called responsible carers and parents.

Michael (but I continue to call him Peter)

Annette the Lefty

Hmmmm.  Dennis

The Chrome Dome

Boss Lady
There are a couple missing. I'll get some compromising shots of them tomorrow.

And speaking of tomorrow, Wednesday is the "State Competition." NSW (yay!) versus QLD, VIC, WA, SA, and NT (did I miss anyone?). Makes State of Origin look like a pick-up game in the park. 

Best of luck to Adam, Natham and Emma C, as well as the rest of the NSW squad. We'll be cheering you on.
