Korean Lunch, Baseball, and Angry Coaches

Filed under: Uncategorized — dto @ 10:31 pm

I had lunch with Wayne. He took me out to Korean – good company and good food. I like Wayne, he and I got to work on the Web Order Entry project. It was really nice getting to know him and it will be sad to leave and not work with him anymore. For every memory and person that I’ll miss I’m even more excited about going to the new job.

Tanner’s team just didn’t show up and ended up losing by one run. Nick the assistant coach screamed at his son after striking out to end the game. It wasn’t pretty. Tanner was really good with the kid – spent a fair amount of time trying to help him cope with the strikeout. He was quite compassionate. After the game parents complained left and right about the assistant coach. If he becomes the head coach next year I’m not sure that we’ll keep Tanner on his team. Tanner hates him and doesn’t respect him at all. I don’t really blame him.

Tanner was invited to go to a Bees game with JP. He had a blast and ended up winning a loaf of bread – weird.

Batboy and other ramblings

Batboy

Parker didn’t get to play his entire game due to scheduling conflicts so Tanner’s team is letting him be the batboy. He is on cloud nine. He pretty much feels like an integral part of the team. He grabs the bats and goes out for the team cheers. He is pretty cool.

At Parker’s game he got up in the first inning and hit a pitch down the third baseline. It is the first time that he got a hit directly from the coach without having to use the batting tee. He still doesn’t quite get the whole base-running thing. He hit the ball, took off his helmet and stood there. Everyone was hollering for him to run to first, which he eventually did. He is a funny little boy. We all love him a ton.

We had to leave early because the league messed up the game time for Parker’s game and so we got started 45 minutes late. By that time we only had time for him to play one inning before taking off to Tanner’s game. Normally we could figure this out, but Kris and Cassidy left on Friday to go visit her dad and to buy his old Camry, so I had the kids for the weekend. We had our logistical issues, but everything turned out fine. All is well, but we are all VERY glad that Kris is back to bring some sanity back to the household.

Spring is finally here

Spring is finally here

On the last day of April I guess I am nearly ready to call it. The flowers appear t have bought into it as have the trees. I haven’t turned on any sprinklers or anything crazy like that, but I do believe that spring is finally here.
Its a new start all around. It is a new start for me too in many many ways. It is another chance to get things going in the right direction and actually do some good. We shall see if it actually pans out that way or not.
It is spring and a new chance and opportunity. I hope I can be a bit better this time around.
