Glutton For Punishment

I'm going to coach our 10U Travel team tonight. Regular HC can't make it do to a commitment, so I agreed. Problem is, they are awful. I would usually feel bad about saying that, but it's inescapable.

I've practiced with these boys once in a while. But I didn't know what it actually was until I helped out at a game last week. To say they are bad is an understatement. They can barely catch and throw, so getting three outs without giving up 6-7 runs is a challenge. And you can't win many games giving up 6 runs an inning.

What I like is the coaches telling me how bad their at-bats are. I know that. But you can't even think of hitting unless you can get off the field. That's why when I coached my son's teams we focused on D when we were young. We can step into one if we have to so we can get on base.

Wish me luck.

I have two days off work coming up so that is AWESOME!

Baltimore Burns

The news is bleak in America's Northernmost Southern City. Sad.

April?

I don't know, I kind of remember the weather in April being a little kinder. April showers? OK, I like a shower. But April 2015 in the North J. has been brutal. Cold. Wet. Damp. Miserable.

I see the weather forecast mentions some 70+ degree days maybe this week. That would be tremendous. I've wathed too many HS and MS baseball games freezing the proverbial balls off.

Forsaken Coffee

SoulSlam stopped drinking coffee about 9-10 weeks ago. I have had one cup in a restaurant since then so I guess I'm done.

I didn't do it for any other reason than I stopped putting sugar in it. At that point I realized I didn't really need it. So I stopped. Just like that.

Now I drink a glass of OJ cut with H2O in the AM. I'm not sure if this is a permanent thing but it is what it is for now.

The Almost Return of Winter

April 23...and we had snow today. Flurries, yes. No accumulation, I know. But snow anyway. Blah. 

I'm watching the KC-ChiSox game in MLB channel. I nominate Hawk Harrelson for biggest homer d-bag of them all. Put it on the booaaarrrrdssss!

Hello? Hello?

I'm at doctors office. Got a bad ring ring ring in my ears. Driving me crazy. Stay tuned. 

Cold April

Even though the Mighty SoulSlam is away, I keep on top of all things North Jersey related. And the weather is one of those things. According to my trusty weather app, it's gonna hit the mid-40's today!!! That's a might too brisk for my liking. 

Good news is I take a redeye home tonight, and it looks like the mild weather comes with me. So that's a +.
