Murphy’s Law, version 872
Since I was not able to see Game 2 yesterday, naturally SportsBoy got the call to start at 2nd base – and he turned two double plays. He had one at bat and lined out to their 2nd baseman (a just reward?). However, 1 at bat in 7 innings tells you that the other team’s [...]
A new season begins
High school baseball starts for real tomorrow. And I have learned that it is WAY MORE intense than football! He has either a game or a practice 6 out of 7 days – Sunday is the only day of rest. Mother Nature is being kind to us and the only rain in site the next [...]
Late Friday beauty – is there anything better than cats with kids?
I had to capture this moment last night – Amber actually sat in someone elses lap while mine was available on the same sofa! And? They are BOTH smiling! Doesn’t get better than that does it? After 10 days of winter break, the first work week of 2011 has been survived – barely! Each [...]
(Not so) little boys ALWAYS find the mud!
SportsBoy played in his first baseball game in a long time and of course he had to pull it off in style. it’s Freshman fall ball with the high school team and Saturday morning they played on a field at a high school that was in pretty good shape. Varsity field and all that. The [...]
I haz a rant
On the eve of a mid term election day, and despite my absolute passion for politics and the games surrounding it, I am absolutely DONE with people who MIX politics and games – specifically, the World Series. Quit telling me who to root for in the Series based on political beliefs! Seriously – STOP IT! [...]

I’m not [...]
NN09 Day Two (Part 2)
This is going to be picture heavy. All I need to tell you is that the NN09 attendees had a wonderful opportunity to take over the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. They set us up to take swings in the batting cage and shag fly balls in the outfield and they fed [...]
End of an era
Well, not my *entire* life of course, just the baseball league treasurer part. Fall 2003-Summer 2009. Packed into two boxes to be handed over to the new President and Treasurer sometime this month. Can you tell I am slightly anxious to get this off my task list? It was the one thing I *did* finish [...]
This and that and a little Adam Lambert
What? You thought I could go two posts without saying the “A” word? Well, it’s not my fault! Remember my kid who got all tied up in knots when I was hyper-ventillating every Tuesday night? The one who called me ‘obsessed’ and rolled his eyes and groaned and moaned and yelled in protest ” NO [...]
