Last night was the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. Actually, if you want to get technical it finished at 6 a.m. this morning.
Team Holm Bobsled was invited participate by giving people rides in a bobsled — on wheels! Talk about funny looking. Brad and I fashioned a makeshift bracket for the front and back to attach six-inch wheels on the base. I was pretty impressed with Brad’s design; I was nervous it might not work.
From about 6 p.m. until midnight, yesterday, we pushed quite a few people across the park. Talk about a workout; I’m wasted!
During the event, we had the privilege of pushing both Miss Utah USA 2009 and Miss Utah Teen USA 2009 down and back. We even posed for a picture. Nice girls.
As if all that isn’t random enough, I found out that my cousin Nathan was performing there that evening. He was releasing a new CD of his. During his concert segment, he started singing a song I hadn’t heard in a long time. (Actually, very few people have ever heard it.) He sang “Baby, You’re from BYU.” It’s a parody from Lonestar’s Amazed. So, I ran up there to join in.
Nathan, me and a few other friends rewrote the words to the song back in 2002 — I think. Though a few of the words were different, and it’s been forever since I last heard it, I kinda had to fake it a little. But, I think everyone enjoyed it and had a good laugh.
Anyway, just thought I would give you an update on the event last night.
Thank you for the update and please get some rest. I had read on the family BLOG that Nathan was performing at the relay event. At least by your picture, it looks like it was dry for you. Awesome idea, bobsled on wheels.
