Busy day

Getting ready to take Cole to bowling league this morning at 10:00.  Then, he has a tournament to bowl at 1:00.  Following that, I get the "pleasure" of coming home to mow the yard for the first time of 2010.  Unbelievable how much the grass has grown.  Wonder what difficulties the ole mower will give me?

Tonight of course we'll be watching the WVU vs Duke basketball game!  Let's GOOOOOOO Mountaineers!  I don't know that we'll be going out anywhere tonight, since it will have been a busy day already.  Besides, I have to get up in the morning for work.  Server maintenance once again.  Hopefully some of the preparation here will provide us with some information following the next service crash.  We really need some good root cause analysis to point us in the right direction.  We might even keep the "wolves" at bay!  But then again I'm not so sure that everyone has the same agenda...

Baseball season has started, at least the practice phase has.  And so far, I think Cole is enjoying himself!  That's the only part I even care about.  That and I'm actually enjoying "not coaching."  It is definitely less stressful.

On the fitness front, I'm averaging 12-15 miles a week, running (which is low from my "past running life") but I'll take it.  I'm also averaging 3-4 weight training sessions a week.  Focusing primarily on upper body, since the legs get their part with the mileage...  I feel better.  And perhaps even look a little better too.  I know, let's not get carried away. 

As for poker, on this poker blog... (i know, haha) that feels like a game I "used to" play.  Life has it's ways of moving you in different directions that's for sure.  BUT, the next game is scheduled for April 9th, 2010 at the Eagles Aerie in Parkersburg.  Registration begins at 6:00pm, and gametime is 7:00pm.  We had a record 54 players last time, and we look forward to even more.  Hope that YOU are one of them!

Time to head out the door to the lanes.

Leaving work early today

As the title says, I'm leaving work early today. YEAH!!! Unfortunately, I've doing so only to get home and mow the lawn. I can't wait until my normal quitting time and then do it, because Cole has baseball tonight, and tomorrow, and besides all that, it's supposed to start raining tomorrow. If I have any hope of taming the jungle that my lawn has already become, it's gotta be dealt with now! I guess I'll substitute a lawn mowing cardio workout for my treadmill run.

I haven't felt much in the writing mood for the past few days, and it's probably shown hasn't it... Work has had me busy, and pondering a great many problems. By the time I get a few free cpu cycles in my day, writing down my thoughts and observations has been the last thing on my mind. But then I remember; I don't write, you don't read. Blog no workie. But I'm warning you all baseball season for the kids takes up a lot of time for them and me too. And despite the fact that I'm not coaching this year, I might as well have taken on that job too. So, far I've been on the field with them every practice. Warming them up, working on drills, and fundamentals. Whether I've been in the mood or not! But remember, it is for the children. Sounds like a "liberal" battle-cry doesn't it.

But I need to tie up a few loose ends before heading out, so this'll have to tide you over kids. Gotta run...
