Catching up...

OK, I'll admit it, I haven't been as diligent in updating these posts in a timely manner as I should. As I write this, its June 17th. My last post was written regarding the game of May 9th. Has a lot of stuff happened in the 17 games and a month or so since then? Yes, most definitely. Can I remember any of it? Well yes and no. I' m going to try and cover some of the highlights, but unfortunately, it will not be all inclusive. Wait, did I say June 17th? well that was when I started this post. I've finally gotten back to it on July 6th, so several more weeks and baseball games have passed. Oh wait, did I say July 6th? Actually I mean July 23rd. In case you haven't picked up on it yet, I been starting to write an entry and keep getting sidetracked a few sentences in every time. Either I'm at work, and you know how that tends to get in the way, or its late at night after a game and I fall asleep before I get a few sentences down. There's too much going on this summer with my son getting married and all the activity at the ballpark, starting with the Strasburg show and continuing with all the changes to our routine, the stinking hot weather, our fair share of rain and all the extra work leading up to the All-Star game. The highlights? I try to list them here as best as I can remember them. First of all in the personnel department: Frank finally made it back. It was great to finally get him back in the fold. His personality adds so much more to whole experience for me and I'm sure, the other guys, too. Sure we try to have fun every night, and we do for the most part. But, in my eyes, its that much more fun when he's around, with the lively banter and such. As for the others, like I mentioned before, my son Alan is getting married, tomorrow, as I write this. That's a whole 'nuther post right there. But wait, there's more! Izzy bought a house and is getting married at the end of September. And if that weren't enough, Knute and Asheleigh bought a house and are also getting married in October. How's that for an event list? So, houses were bought and rings were bought and plans are being made. I'm probably going to need to sleep for the entire off-season. So I think I'll stop here, regroup and collect my thoughts and we'll talk about the All-Star game and other stuff next time around. Until then, later.
