Same But Different

I was cruising in the Tahoe the other day listening to some XM satellite radio...and on the radio came a song called "Mean Streak" by Y&T. This song is perfect for this tale, as it came out in 1983, a slight 30 years ago.

When I was a kid (let's say in the early 70's), in my parent's Impala, the AM (only)radio would be tuned to some station kicking some Glenn Miller or such. And that music was approximately 30 years old or so. I thought..."that's some old shit".

Now I listen to music 30 years old or older. But it's rock. Timeless. Except my boys don't listen to rock. They listen to anything but.

So I guess I'm officially a dinosaur.

Self Control

Whenever I see a really obese person smoking, I think to myself "no self-control".

Obviously you can't walk away from a meal or have a salad, your appearance tells me such. And you can't not smoke. Which, by the way, is very bad for you. That's why the packs all have a skull & crossbones on them.

You are a mess.

The OG Hitting Trainer

I was thinking back to when I was a kid...and I used to swing 100's of swings a day on my Johnny Bench Batter-Up. Sat in my backyard and I would swing at it forever. Loved making contact and seeing how many times I could spin the ball around the metal pole.

I mention this because I think most kids don't swing enough. That's the main reason I built an are in my garage attic for my boys to hit off a tee.

Gotta swing.

Game Today

12U Team playing with YSSS. I am basically the silent hitting coach after last year's hub-bub. I'm there for YSSS first and foremost. If the other kids want to listen, so be it, you'll be better off. If not...

Where The Hell Have I Been!?

Around.

Just kidding. I am busy. I tweet like a madman. I just say no.

I was in Dallas this week for the J-O-B; flew American Airlines. Only 6.5 hours of delays between the two flights. Sweet.

Boys playing ball. We hit the cages today. Bought some wood bats. Awesome.

Watching Matt Harvey tear it up vs. the Twins right now.

Drinking a beer. I have a new deal. I try new beers whenever I can. I avoid the basic Bud-Coors choices. I'm about to crack open a Shiner Blonde. Ummmm, it's pretty good.

My Fantasy Baseball team is 0-1. I am winning this week. I like my team.
