more tidbits

Well Work is going as well as can be expected I have I think finally figured out the best way to count down money after talking with one of my supervisors who gave me some pointers and some hints on how do it it seems to have worked which is reducing the amount of time that I have to spend inside the sometimes very crowded countdown room so from spending 30 minutes I have been able the past few times to count down my drawer in less than 15 minutes which is making me less stressed, my supervisors less aggrivated waiting for me to countdown.
   SO okay other than work nothing much has been going on been watchin the olympics and two nights ago I think was one of the most exciting events I have ever seen on tv.. the 4x100 individual mens relay had the closest finish of any race it was incredibly insane the US was a few arm lengths away at the beginning of the final push and then at the final 15 meeters the US just flew past the french and won by .8 one hundreths of a second.. it was crazy.
  Umm my visit with my sister was really good went out to lunch and talked and it was really nice to see her ( I avoided the family ritual torture of Scrabble) It isnt like i dont like spending time with my family but when it comes to scrabble i would rather avoid personally embarassing myself with my lack of vocabulary and spelling ability. 
 Well I have continued going to the health club and have lost about 17 pounds so I have since moving back home lost bout 20 pounds so that is very good with my semi annual diabetic checkup coming in a week. .
 thats all for now

A New Hall of Fame Class

As a young kid growing up I grew up on the heroes of the game, Ruth, Dimaggio, Mantle, Williams etc.  As I continued to grow up and watch the game of baseball grow and mature like I did, I was always excited to see what new legends were going to get to be immortalized into the Baseball Hall of Fame.   I've been lucky enough to visit the Hall of Fame on multiple occasions including as a kid with my dad, as a member of my high school baseball team on two occasions.   To now watch as more players that I grew up watching in the late 80's 90's and early 2000's it just reminds me of how wonderful this game truly and really is. I'll end this quick post with one of my favorite quotes from my favorite movie, Field of Dreams, "

So, this weekend is definitely one that I am glad is coming to a close. Saturday I received a phone call from someone inviting me out for a drink and to go see a local theatre production. Well lets just say I shouldn't have left my warm comfy room. I was dooped the person who called never showed up and I was left standing in the cold waiting for an hour and half.. now you may wonder why I waited soo long.. well its because I always believe that you should give someone the benefit of the doubt, but yeah for 90 minutes I waited and wondered what happened, until I finally came home and was in a bad mood. SO today, drove to meet someone I had been talking with for about a week and thought that there was a definite connection with them only to when we did meet have her pull a 180 and be totally bored, and uninterested in being with me. This is seriously starting to get on my nerves, the fact that I am a good genuine nice guy and yet women for the most part seem to not want anything ...

Soo today was a very light day. Had no control games or innings, but did have some time out on the drill field to get back into the habit of doing routine plays to get back into the swing of full umpiring.  Sadly I also started to realize how cutthroat this business can be.  Soo due to my injuries I haven't fully been at full health, as well as my other physical issues, have made my career has an umpire not the easiest of things to do.  I usually often in pain from my legs to my back and I do my best to push through it to continue to work my game, and due to the pain I may not look at athletic or graceful as other guys out there on the field, but I do my best.    One of the guys that I have gotten to know here at school, told me that sadly there have been a few guys that have snickered and made fun of me behind my back. He told me, not to worry about that, that the situation had been taken care of and that I should just focus on my game. To hear that a guy t...
