Weatherman

So I'm kind of a weather nerd. Don't know where the facination came from... seriously no idea. It's not like I come from some lineage of great weather experts or even have my own weather collection station in my backyard or anything.

So this week we have had snow.. twice. Sure it's little insignificant squalls and flurries that don't accumulate, but we didn't get jack as far as snow down here last year... so this gives me hope. Hope that the farmer's almanac might be right this year. We keep joking that this will be the year we get a blizzard down here on Delmarva... on Feb. 5th.

Write it on your calanders folks... I'm going all Babe Ruth on you folks here and calling my shot.

Here you go... 5 minutes ago outside the back door here at work.

Keep Your Eye On The Ball

So our softball team had it's first game last night.. in near freezing temps. Actually it was in the low 50's.. but still, that's pretty dang cold with a stiff breeze. Had the game tying double late in the game... but we lost in the bottom of the 7th to a walk off 2 run homer. It was a very fun game though and I'm looking forward to playing with the guys & gals on the team this year. Last year we had a lot of cocky loudmouths who kinda pushed the limits of what is expected in a church run softball league. This year should be a whole lot more fun.

Holden & Larry start tee-ball next weekend, should be fun. Although lately Holden has shown little interest in practicing his batting and even less interest in fielding. Larry hasn't quite grasped the art of swinging yet, but he seems to really enjoy it when we are out in the backyard practicing.
