I did not update Monday so here goes another Blackberry attempt. I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend and remembered the Veterans in their own lives.

Gman got invited to the Select 8 year old team for the summer baseball tournies. I had to explain to him it was ok he is now 9. They look at when the regular season started. What this means is an extra 6 weeks of baseball. But just 1 kid and not 2. E seems to enjoying himself but says he wants to play soccer not baseball in the fall.

State budget is done so now we will start looking at replacing the van. Still thinking about a new job for me. Anyone need any help?

Ok everyone have a great week.

I have been trying not to talk about Rand Paul but I can't help myself.   I wanted to write about my take on politics , primaries etc.  I changed my mind today.  I am going to write about him and the idea that he is not a racist but he can't help but let racist be themselves.  

This is the biggest cop out I have heard in a really long time.  We all should be going out of our way to end racism.  We should not be saying well I am not one but everyone has their right to be one.  No matter what you think of him or his dad, his politics, his ideas do you want a person who is not willing to take a harder stand against racism being your Senator? 

Mom made it for the weekend.  It was good to see her.  Finally got to take her to lunch for mothers day just a week or 2 late. 

 Baseball is going ok but not winning like last year.  We are really young this time and so its been really hard to win the close games.  We have lost 8 games won 3.  5 of the 8 loses have been by 2 runs or less. Which for coach pitch is just amazing. We even won 1 game 3-2 in extra innings.  Lost 1 game by 2 in extras.  But it has been a great season so far.   E's team is also young but is getting a lot better.  I am thinking next season to help with his team as Gman moves up to Mustang. 

Not much else is happening.  Hope everyone has a great week 

Long weekend and another week has started.  The boys played well but both teams are just real young and are learning.  Ankle is hurting again not sure what I did this time to aggravate it but limbing again.  Have not got to see mom this month but hopefully we can get down there sometime soon.

Gman's birthday is in 9 days.  He will be 9 this time.  I think how strange it is to him to get older and then see friends on FB who have teenagers.  Beth and I started so much later than most others.  I can't say which is better but I would not trade the time Beth and I had together without kids for anything.  I would not trade the boys for anything now.

I hope everyone has a great week.

Big Rain

Lots of Rain all over the place this weekend.  Glad all friends and family are safe.  All ballgames for the weekend were postponed.  We will have both boys playing double headers on Saturday.  So a total of 2 practices and 6 games from Tuesday until Sunday.  Add in Boy Scouts, Brass band practice , etc we will be very busy week.   

Congratulations to Brian and Angie for the completed Doctorate.  Marc and  Megan good luck with the house.  Been thinking of all you.    

Beth wants to go to Huntsville Alabama for the Space Center for vacation this summer.  Looks like we can go in August before school starts.    

I am trying to update the blog from my Blackberry again.  This has never worked but hey who said I ever gave up.

Gman's game got rained out Saturday but E got to play.  usy week with practice and games if it does not rain them out.  Mom will try to make this weekends.

The new SSD in my computer is very fast but I am having issues with a couple of games I play.  The Bioware installer makes them install on the C: drive or they will not play.  Save games only want to go the Windows 7 User profiles. So I can't use my 1 TB for storage.  I have not been able to find out how to fix it.

Been a long week but a fairly good one.  Gman has testing this week so keep him in your thoughs and prayers.  And Beth too, she is as worried as he is.
 

Lost to the Reds this afternoon.  Anna got her first hit ans Nickl played the whole game with no issues.  I will take both of those but really wanted the win.  Gman hit well again. Line drive first at bat. Third baseman got a force. 2nd at bat clean double with 2 rbis.  He is turning into our third baseman and fielding the position well.  Got to work on the throwing.  He is still going side arm.

Beth hooked herself at the Boy Scouts this morning.  She has gone for a shot at eh UTC.  The geese scared E while he tried to feed them.  It was really funny.  Looked at a Ford Freestyle at the CCU sale this morning.  It seems to be the right size and dollar range for us.  Not sure when but we will be replacing the MiniVan at some point.

We have our first Legends game tomorrow.  I hope everyone had a great week
