place

The first one is on the plane near Chicago. Otherwise pictures of my place. Still kinda raw, I am getting a few more posters..

in honor

Yesterday I went to a memorial service on campus for a former teammate, who passed away on August 25 in a car accident. Michael Sheahan of Madison, WI - on the team we called him 'Wheeler'.

I guess I couldn't believe it when I first heard the news from another teammate. More that I didn't believe than I couldn't. He was an awesome kid, a great teammate, and good friend. I didn't hang out with him too much outside of Ultimate, but when I did hang out with him (Ultimate or not), it was always a good time. And it was only a few days before I would have seen him too..

I'm in grief that Wheeler has passed, because of all the good times we have spent together. But I'm saddened, I think, just as much because of what could have been. Perhaps it's just speculation, but I really believe he would have come over to our room to hang out all the time, since Edward and Simon, two of my roommates who play Ultimate, were also close with him. He was someone who could have been a great friend of mine.. Great potential, shattered in a moment..

Rest in peace, Wheeler. I'll miss you man.
