Baseball

The Bisons are calling me. I am definitely suffering from baseball withdrawal. I think I will take Ian to the game on Friday, May 27th. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

I was looking online for tonight's game to be streamed live, but I couldn't find it. Everybody streams live now! It's got to be somewhere. Otherwise, I am going to have to invest in an indoor AM radio. I can't be out sitting in the car all evening. :D

In the meantime, Ian has his last practice tomorrow evening with the Tonawanda little league. His opening day is Saturday. Should be a good time!

Studio Profile: Guerrilla Games

My friend Ali is a games journalist. Here is his latest article:

Guerrilla Games

Even though I do not know that much about video games or the gaming industry, I enjoy reading his work. (I love the fact that his grammar is better than what you find in the Buffalo News. And his native language isn't even English!)

My brother and I had a conversation a few months ago about how difficult writing can be. Finding just the right word to convey exactly what you mean can be extremely challenging.

Sure sign of spring...

My favorite quote of the day...

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Flowers

Does anyone know what these are? I'd like to plant some in my own garden. :)

Baseball Update

I would like to take the opportunity to let everyone know how I'll be coaching this summer. First of all, I want the kids to have fun. There will be no arguing with umpire calls by players or myself. I will run a pretty tight ship on the bench so don't expect your child to be visiting you in the stands. I WILL NOT jeopardize anyone's health to try and win a Little League game and this is done by keeping pitchers' pitch counts low. So, if you ever wonder why I remove a pitcher who is doing well, you've been forewarned. We will win as a team and lose as a team. I will shuffle players in and out of positions because let's face it, there aren't a lot of plays in the outfield at this level. If we are winning a game comfortably, I will put a halt to stealing bases. I have a knowledgeable staff helping me so don't ever be afraid to ask questions. My hope is the kids have fun and make noticeable improvements this year. Hey, let's fill up the T.A.L.L. All Star teams with AAA A's! See everyone at 9:00am Saturday.

Phones are down

The phones are down at the office today. Going to be a quiet morning until they are fixed!
