Rhett's own personal "Agony of Defeat" footage: (ie...Sledding in AZ-2009)

Parental Advisory: Stong Language in the following: ((Can't help it---I am, a MOM, first and foremost...after all...)...Sorry)
Rhett: (Narrative while looking at the pics) "ok...I look pretty good here....good form...yes..."(That's Beau (Lewis--Joni's husband) under the jump ramp...BTW)Rhett: " OK...still looking pretty good---a little out of line, but not bad...(cleared the body on the snow...good...)"
Rhett: "Ok---back in line...still looking good...""Still good"...



Rhett: "Uh...yeah...the landing...a little to the right, but still, not bad form..."
Rhett: "Oh $%#@&!!!! What the Hell just happened???
(Mom's reaction: Oh my HELL!")
" Ouch!!! %%#$!!! Crap!!! that hurts, dammit!" (Those of you who know Rhett...you know that is the MILDEST expletive that was coming out of his mouth at this point...right?)

"ok...going back the other way...back toward the tube..."

"OK...I have NO idea how THAT just happened???" Uh...oh no...uh-oh...@$%#!!! (again)!

"Ok...I'm now completely "out of control!!!!"


"Aaarrghhhhhh!"...oh yeah...BABY!!!" "Ok...I think I'm down..."

Yes!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! (still smiling??? (Mom's reaction to the pic)) (---ok---I will be totally honest...my reaction was more like HOLY SHIT!!!! You are lucky you aren't paralyzed from the neck down...What the HELL????!!!)

Check out the eye?..yes...it gets worse...
Rhett: "uuuuh....I think I'm ok...."

Rhett: "Yeah (even tho he's a little woozy) I am definitely ok..."

Yup...yup...(woozy...weaving...) Yep...I am ok...

Rhett---(to everyone watching) (who were thinking he'd be in a wheelchair the rest of his life...): YO!!!! I'm OK...I'm OK!
Ok.....
Ok....(narrow miss....)...ok, Mom will survive this footage..."(whew)...) Oh, Crap---Here comes my surrogate "mom" (Julia) to chew me out for giving her a "fright".... (First she says "Are you ok???")
(Then she says "You nearly gave me a heart attack!!!
What the Hell were you thinking???)
Then: (At least this seems the most plausible) "You should be glad Mom wasn't here, because she would hug you, then she would KILL you!!!"
Denise: "I am glad I wasn't there...because I would have had a heart attack! (and yes...then I would have chewed on him for a good half-hour...)"
Rhett continues to think that Loretta is "the BOMB" because she kept filming through the whole thing. (And I will forgive her, because Julie was there to do the worrying for me (I was home being sick with a chest and sinus infection (at Moms'))
But---You simply can't deny---Loretta's photography is spectacular... (she's getting really good at this) but I'm not sure Rhett's handsome face will ever be the same....good thing he's young, is all I can say.




And today (Jan 5,2010) - it is just a big ugly scab--with bruises all around...(he looks a little like "Braveheart")...ah well....another great "Hatch adventure" where the angels were working overtime...Sooo...What else is new???
