Cold rain today in Eastern Kentucky.  So no baseball practice.  Gman is looking good so far and he will be either at 2nd or pitcher this season.  E's coach got a job in NC and so they are looking for a head coach.  I wish I could do it but with work I can't do it.  

Been spending a lot of time at a new web sight,  Tested.com.  Not a bad little site and they are still expanding it. So if you have tech or gadget questions go check it out.

First Baseball Practice

Gman had is first baseball practice of the Spring.  E's will be Monday night.  We are very young again  Lost 5 players to moving up in age. One we thought would be back did not come back.  We have 5 back from last year and so we should hit very well.  Infield may be rocky without a true first baseman.   Gman and Tevis should be solid up the middle.  Bryce at first or second.  Jacob at third.  We have 2 new players who did not play tball so it will be interesting.  Micheal B is back and is hitting well.  Still a little shaky fielding and throwing but he is a very young 2nd year player who did not play tball.  I can't wait for the season to start.

Mom will be in tomorrow.  Lynn has a bass tourny this weekend.  I am thinking about getting Mom on Facebook and a Facebook page for Lynn's jig business.  A place for him to list the jigs and where he is going to be fishing.  Anyone have any ideas about it?

Nothing big this week.  Just getting ready for baseball season for the boys and Mom coming for the weekend.  Lynn has a bass tournament and so she will be up Saturday and Sunday.  Means we have to clean the house and get her bedroom ready.  

Beth and I are both fighting the spring head colds.  Every fall and spring we cough and sneezing and just have a great month or so. The boys are doing well so far this spring.  

I have found a new web sight, Tested.  It is set up by Will Smith (no not that one the other one).  He was editor for Maximum PC  for a long time.  I have added a feed to the blog for the new sight.  Looks pretty good but it is to early to tell.

If I figure out how to do it, I will post my tourny bracket buy Wednesday night. 

Off to basketball tonight, everyone please behave

Spring has made it to  Eastern Kentucky.  70 plus yesterday and thunderstorms coming tomorrow.  Whats the old line If you don't like the weather just wait it will change.  

Good week so far.  We have got our teams for baseball.  Gman gets back on the Phillies with his buds.  E moves up to full Shetland.  First practices this week and league meeting is Saturday.  So we have finished the weeks of just 1 or 2 nights out of the house and ready to start the 5 night a week hustle.  I can't wait for the season to start.  Gman really got better in fall ball and I hope he keeps at it.  Basketball went well this season.

We have started looking for a replacement for the van.  No big hurry but it has started to cost us more in up keep than it should.  The truck is 4 years older but is holding up better, knock on wood.  So the question becomes another van or something different that gives us enough room.  We travel with a lot of stuff and the boys have gotten use to the movies in the van.  We will have to find something that will be close to that again.  Better gas mileage will be important as well.

Hope you and yours have a great week

Hope everyone is have a great week.  The boys are getting bigger and funnier everyday.  E just told his mother he was going to go commando because he was wearing his last pair of underwear  after his bath.  Gman is working on his homework.  His handwriting is better than mine.

Mom is still working through Granddads will and the stuff at the house.  I wish I was closer to help  her and the sisters.  I still think of him and Mama Jo every day.  I miss them both dearly.

Good news at the doctors today.  H1C was down to 6.1 and I had got back under 225 (221 for those scoring at home).  She gave me a nose spray for my sinuses.  Not sure if I really need it but the Zertic is not cutting it anymore.

Beth is under the weather as well. She has lost her voice and so her yelling is a little scarier than normal.

Saw a strange thing the other morning driving to work.  Some Canadian geese were starting to fly up.  They seemingly could not get into a good v.  First time I have ever seen geese fly into each other.  It was very strange.
I saw 2 of them fall back to the ground and get up.  The rest just all flew off in other directions.  I wish I could have videoed it.

Just a small thought on Jim Bunning.  This is why I do not favor term limits.  When someone has nothing to hold them accountable then they become very self centered.  Bunning is ticked at his party and fellow Ky Senator.  He then uses his very questionable principles to stop a highly popular bill because he has no one to answer to now that he is faced with a party imposed term limit.  There is no way he pulls this if he was running for reelection.

Dragons Age vs Mass Effect 2

Been playing 2 games made by the same company recently.  Bioware  puts out a lot of very cool high end video games for the PC , Xbox 360 and Playstation.   I have been playing both Dragons Age and Mass Effect 2 for a couple of weeks.  Both games are great but I think Dragons Age is much better.    

Dragons Age has a more in depth feel and finish.  I think that is because ME2 is a part of a planned trilogy and Dragons Age is the start of a new series for the company.  It makes me feel that video games are becoming more like movies everyday.  They are trying to be an all consuming entertainment option.  Trying to build a franchise instead of just making a good game that is fun to play. 

I think thats why the Wii does so well.  The games are not the best in the world but they are great fun to play. Both of these games are great to play but they are trying to hard.  Downloadable content from the internet that should have be with the original game.  Fancy packaging instead of better content.  Comic book tie ins instead of a good manual.  And these are great games.
