Not Sure

Practice number 3 was successful tonight. But it's fairly obvious to me that we'll need more. But luckily there are no scores in the wonderful world of T-ball. So the worry level isn't very high. But it would be nice to get more time with the kids so they won't be completely lost when the game starts. Most of them do know which base to run to first, so that's something. In other news, my daughter is pretty good at kicking a moving ball. So, if there's a 3 and under kickball tournament anywhere that you know about, lemme know 'cause she's going in. My wife is thrilled that she's taken to kicking a ball like this as she says that she can play soccer now. Now I won't tell you all my reasons, but soccer isn't really a sport, so I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm glad that she's good at kicking and if she does play next year she should come home from the games good and tired, as when they're that little, I'd imagine that each kid just chases the ball around the field for 30 minutes or so and then they get their little orange slices and fall asleep in the car on the way home. And that is something that I'm all for. It's the same reason that I have my team run the bases three or four times before I send them home, it's a courtesy to the other parents to tire out the kids.

And I know you're all very concerned, staying up at night, holding candlelight vigils to improve my recently failing health. And I'll ask you to continue your prayer groups as I'm still sorta down. I've been back at work and overall I feel ok, it's the ringing that still exists in my left audio canal, and a wonderful smoker's cough that won't go away, and has the ability to wake me up some nights. Now I haven't smoked in almost 30 years, so I don't feel that this cough is from excessive cancer stick use. But it is very annoying.

And now I've just finished giving an interview for an 8th grade girl who wanted to know about safety on social networking sites. It seems like her goal is to be able to get a MySpace account and is having to prove to her parents that it's not going to be a bad thing. I'm not an authority on this by any means, so hoepfully I'll help out her paper. In related and also uninteresting news, I got an email this morning from someone who had worked with my cousin asking me for help with Dreamweaver. I offered my services as a tutor and really wanted the cash that would have come with this session, but I only had two open days this week and he's gone each weekday night and doesn't want to do it the day before it's due. I'm not sure why he waited so long to start this project that he seems to need to finish so he can pass this class. The guy is, according to himself, "in his 50's and going back to get his Masters." So if he's going for his Masters degree, shouldn't he be a better student? Perhaps.
