Rugby Sunday (part 1)
When your prom dress has been nearly ripped off of you…
… it’s time to pass.
Tune in (most) Sundays over the summer for a scene from yesterday’s Prom Dress Rugby Match at Raider Stadium in Ashland.

Southern Oregon University Women’s Rugby Team presents Prom Dress Rugby 2013
Southern Oregon University Women’s Rugby Prom Dress Game 2013 – Raider Stadium
Today was the second, annual Women’s Rugby, Prom Dress Style in Ashland. I have maybe fifty decent photos that I’ll be posting, most over the summer when I’m out of town. For now, I’ll start you off with these four.
What began like this …
… evolved into the gap being closed like this …
… and finally this (which would have been a great shot had the official not been in the way).
Varsity Theatre – Ashland, Oregon
Today’s photo is from the archives. I took this in February of 2011 with my LX3. The Varsity sports some of the last neon left in town. I think there was about twice as much neon a decade ago as there is now in Ashland. At some point I imagine it will all be gone.
Prom Dress Rugby returns to Ashland
Prom Dress Rugby at Southern Oregon University
Saturday (6/1/13) at 1 p.m. at Raider Stadium will feature the second annual Prom Dress Rugby match. It’s only $5 (and I think that includes a BBQ lunch) so head on down.
Stoneburner returns to Southern Oregon
Stoneburner’s Damon Kelly
Stoneburner, Burials, and Ritual of War will be playing at Club 66 in Ashland this Thursday evening (5/30/13).
Dogwood Blossoms on SOU campus
Southern Oregon University Dogwood blossoms
Like all of the other flowering plants and trees this year, the dogwoods in front of Central Hall blossomed early. Today’s photo is from late April, and the dogwoods don’t normally look like this until May 10 or so. They are long gone now.
Jamie Flynn pitching in the rain

I was hoping to watch some baseball today at North Mountain Park. Ashland earned a number 1 seed which meant home games through the semifinals of the state tournament (should they win their games). Alas, Wednesday’s game did not go as planned, and the Grizzlies were upset by number 8 seed Madison. Rain fell through most of the game, and things did not go Ashland’s way in the 4-1 loss. The tournament is single elimination so the season is now over for the AHS Grizzlies.
Relay For Life – Ashland/Jackson County – SOU Raider Stadium
Relay For Life
On my way home from Eugene this past Saturday I thought a lot about my mom who died last month of cancer. I had never been to a Relay For Life event before, but I made a stop in at Raider Stadium in Ashland to check Relay For Life out before going completely home. The atmosphere was very moving. I made two trips around the track with tears coming down my cheeks. It was too dark for anyone to see them. I then took today’s photo before driving the final few blocks home.
Box of Jolene’s Sweets
I enjoyed a birthday cake (for someone else’s birthday) from Jolene’s Sweets this past weekend. I also had one of her scones, and I’m quite certain it was the best scone I have ever had.
Today’s photo is of a box of cookies from last month.
Playing at Garfield Park
Garfield Park – Ashland, OR
Garfield Park (AKA the water park) in Ashland is a great place for kids of any age. We headed out there this past weekend and were disappointed to find the water wasn’t turned on yet. It was about 80 degrees, but maybe the water doesn’t run until Memorial Day weekend. The play structure for little kids has been updated in the past year or so.
