Nice on the day off but sorry to hear about what sounds like a honey-do-list.
We actually had a girl run off the field when the ball was hit to her. Still not really sure where she was going.
Well, most of these are projects I started. We moved into a kind of fixer-upper house. There is a bonus room connected to the living room that is still just studs, i'm halfway through building a fire pit, working on a patio and deck to go off the bonus room (right now it's just a mud pit). Oh and the constant landscaping. Most of the small bushes original to the house had turned into two story trees that i get the pleasure of managing now. I've got most of them down to stumps, but got to take all of those out now.
It looks really nice, but it also looks like a glorified mall for the wealthy. None of those stores in the video appealed to me at all. That being said, we'll of course go and see it on our next trip.
Sounds like my days off. I need to rest up after when I get back in the office.
BOOOOOO!!!Go relax, would ya???
Almost the weekend again. Just keep swimming.
Losing 2 in one night is definitely not a good night on the fields. Hopefully there was a lot of drinking after to help the mood.
Top O the Mornin Dads! Speaking of Disney Springs, two weeks from today me and DS head to DaWorld and I am already "checked out". In addition to this trip have a 3 day weekend this weekend with DS HS graduation, then another extended weekend for Memorial Day with family coming in as it is MIL 80th birthday. I was at DS for a bit last month when there for a convention and Jock Lindsey's and that area were pretty cool. Walls were still up around the Town Center but from the pictures I've seen it looks cool but the stores seem like the same stuff we have at the local mall
Hoping to get there before then, but with school, sports and the expense we'll see.

Good Morning.
24-2 sounds more like a football game.

And yes, the place looks really nice, but I doubt I'd buy anything there either. Seems pretty uppity to me.
I love the long toss idea.I know it's a long way off and who knows what happens before then. Having gone through it with DS, the adjustment to the big diamond around 13/14 is a really big step for most kids-even the ones that were stars all the way through little league. DS was a pretty good little league player, but thrived once on the bigger diamond. He has a strong arm and reads the ball really well. A lot of the kids that were supposed to be the best and were the top kids in LL, couldn't adjust and are bench players or not even playing anymore. Good luck to DS! I hope he keeps the desire to play baseball. It's a fun sport if you like it. The one tip I will give you is to throw "long toss" as much as possible with him. That builds arm strength more than any other exercise when it comes to baseball. The bonus is a lot of Dad/Son time that I cherish to this day. A lot of parents complain about their teens and how they become somewhat distant. My son and I play catch at least twice a week where we get to just relax and talk about things. We also watch Field of Dreams at least once a month, but that's another story.

Unfortunately, if he's any good he'll be able to out long toss me before long.
I always caught in little league and I developed a quick but short throwing motion that really wasn't what it should be. Basically I could get the ball from the plate to second with about a half throwing motion. Looking back it was bad, but it was effective for a little league catcher and therefore nobody ever worked with me to expand my range of motion and throw over the top.
When I was a freshman playing on the high school team, I was over 6' tall and I had a coach that felt I was built more to be a pitcher than a catcher and tried to undo several years of bad habits.
After that failed project I locked down first base for the rest of my baseball career.
And actually, when I play softball now, I typically always play 1B.
At least I can take pride in being the one that helped him out do me. ..........At least until last year when I tore my bicep tendon in my left arm fielding a ground ball down the line
. Surgery and 6 months of rehab and recovery. We'll see where I go this year. Will probably stick with first and back waaaaayyyyy up when a leftie gets up there.
