Up at 4:45am, at the field at 7:00am. Game time 8:00am. First game tied 7-7 after 5 innings. Should have won as all runs scored were on fielding errors so we felt confident. Game two they lose 9-1 - ack!! So we head out en mass to a nearby Rainforest Cafe for a really nice... Continue Reading →
Peace and quiet is over
January has been so nice. Rather mellow. A time to just catch up and decompress and relax and read and exercise and stuff. No more!

Change of plans
No tournament for Alex. We fell short of players. Not surprising given that it is the weekend before Thanksgiving and we did not find out we needed players until late Thursday. I spent a lot of time on the phone last night and again this morning trying to sort this out. I'm first of all... Continue Reading →
Still recovering and an idea for the love in your life
Physically things are progressing. The knee is still off and on hurting randomly, mostly on staircases and after I've been sitting for a long time.
