"The Play is at third!"
Local Baseball "coach"

You've seen my ramblings about @'s baseball team, a bunch of good talented kids, with absolutely no help from their coach. The coaches son plays shortstop. If such records were kept, we surely would hold the record for Worst Fielding Percentage By a Shortshop in the History of All Man Kind. But, since he's the coaches son, the errors continued mount. @ pitched the second game of a double header today. He gave up 13 runs. TEN OF THEM UNEARNED!!!!! He only gave up only four hits that were not a grounder, he had absolutely no help from his "defense". I swear I'm not one of these crazy sports parents that lives their lives vicariously through their son. It's just frustrating to see these kids underachieve because of the coach. Think I'm being a bit harsh? We're in the field. The other team has a player at third and one out. The coach yells: "be ready infield, the play is at third!". I need not go on.

We have somehow made the playoffs at 4-8. That game is Tuesday. After that days entry, any baseball missives should be cheerier. I hear high schools have great coaches.

"..for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself." Jessamyn West I have raised a retard. I swear to God, the things he says and thought processes that flow through his brain never cease to amaze me. Early on in this Blog, I promoted the idea of trying to give your kids more than you had. Don't force them to work during their early high school years and instead let them enjoy their summers unencumbered. As that dickhead Dr. Phil says, " how'd that work out for ya?" I have ended up with an unappreciative individual that is not even remotely ready for the real world. What a slap in the face that will be, standing on his own two feet. I know, I know, I reap what I sow, but that what blog is for isn't it, anonymous venting?? His outrageously expensive school, has a relatively relaxed cel phone policy. You can have you phone, and actually use it in between classes. Just don't use it during class. Kinna obvious don't you think? He come...

The One Where The Heart Is Torn Into Tiny Itsy Bitsy Pieces

  By local crushed blogger . This is nothing new. 26 years of marriage to the one. And I had to go screw it up. Am I sorry. I only regret it every other day of the year. So yeah.  After that happened, I told myself that I'm not going to put myself out there. Too old to play that game if you know what I mean. Funny what 4 years of living in a tiny one room studio apartment can do to you. Being alone sucks worse than being scared to play the game again. The game went surprisingly well. You could maybe say it went spectacularly. Before you know it, I find myself in a Relationship. She was younger than me and that brought a totally different dynamic. If the two of you agree it's not a problem, then who cares what others think right? We watched movies she had never seen. I listened to music I would have never given the time of day to. It went on despite the age difference. We were totally compatible. We talked all the time. I totally opened up to her. As the relationship progressed...
