Twin Peaks The Return

Eight episodes in and I'm pretty sure that David Lynch is insane. The 8th episode was so over the top crazy that I thought I was watching dome drug-induced hysteria.

We've barely been in Twin Peaks. Haven't seen Audrey Horne, only a single scene with Bobby Briggs, etc. Cooper is bad and Cooper is dumb (Dougie). Harry has cancer apparently and his brother Frank is the Sheriff. This show is, as they say, off the chain.

Summer Baseball

YSSS aka Rizzo is playing for two teams this summer. The first is an 18U team playing in a wood bat league. The other is a 16U team comprised of mostly his HS teammates. More on that later.

18U is an extension of team we played with last fall...but over the spring they added some HS seniors who were not playing HS ball for a myriad of reasons (mostly coach related from what I gather). Anyway, he has rejoined in summer (and fall) as a 16YO HS Soph. We had a short practice the other night and Rizzo was rocking the balls to deep OF...which I saw the 18YO players were pleasantly seeing. Apparently the younger players in Spring couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat.

The 16U team is basically his HS team. Now I could write a book on how unhappy I was with this team this season and how YSSS was used. But that's in the past. Anyway, I told the guy organizing (I guess you'd call him the head coach) I'd be happy to help out of needed. So what do we get? The HC was "unavailable" this week so I ran a practice (7 players attending) and then we had first game last night. SoulSlam was the only coach in attendance. And better yet, we had 8 players! Sweet. We fought hard, but 8-9 errors, plus a WP and two passed balls kind of killed us. Rizzo had a good game though. 1-3 with and RBI Double and 2 runs scored. Played 1B which wasn't plan for the evening until we had nobody to play 1B. Oh well.

We'll make it work I guess. I have only so much time with YSSS until he goes off to college so I will make best of any opportunity I have.

It Will Be Hot From Now On

At least that is what it looks like. It's been chill for last week or so. And that is playing havoc with my pool, since the chlorine rarely activates when it's kind of cold. So I will be like Mr. Wizard starting tonight after the gym to keep it shipshape. Make no mistake, it's not in dire straits, but you've gotta keep on top of these things. Going to party manana for a young man who joined the USMC, he's shipping out in a few days to basic. Known this young man since he was 7-8 yo, he's a good kid, hope he does well. YSSS made his Conformation last night. I think he's relieved the long journey is over. Mets are not where I want them to be, standings wise. Or playing wise. I'm drinking a Monster Lo-Carb as I type. Work is over in 2 hrs and 41 minutes or so. Then I go get my bi-weekly haircut. High and tight, zero on sides and back. Swell.
