I love living in a place where your Grandpa plays outfield at ball practice.
The Birthday Bat May 18, 2012
All Stephen wanted for his birthday was a new bat.
Rob caved. The bat was ordered.
The day it arrived, we had a game. Stephen wanted to use it. Rob said that he needed to practice with it first.
Just one at-bat … pleeeeaassseeeeee … one at-bat wouldn’t hurt anything ….
Two for three (single, double) with 3 RBI. Go, boy, go.

Special thanks to the kind folks at Starlyte Christmas Tree Farm who allowed us to hang out and have a great afternoon!
Ggggrrrrrrrrr. October 30, 2011
Today is October 30th. The day before Halloween. Uh-huh. That’s right … the day before HALLOWEEN.
So, what we should do is BUILD A SNOW FORT.
Or, for the lazy crowd, assemble a fort.
Lazy people:
And even though they are really cute, this makes me go GRRRRRrrrrrrrr… like a monster … like on HALLOWEEN.
Which is supposed to be all crisp and cool with fluttering leaves and lots of little Supermen and Dorothys and Werewolves. And treats and tricks and sixty degrees … minimum, like, really sixty is the minimum for trick-or-treating, you know. GgggrrrrRRRrrrrrr.
