well the past few days have been busy I have been doing a lot of volunteering for the obama/biden campaign for both new hampshire and vermont and will continue to it again this weekend by making more phone calls and hopefully canvasing depending on the weather. And work after a rough couple of days where I actually was facing the possibility of being let go I have contacted my job coach and they met with my supervisor today and I think the meeting went well and I plan on talking with them over the next few days to see what was suggested on behalf of my work place and on behalf of the job coaches.
 Also I have been watching the DNC and wow the speeches beginning with Michelle Obama and tonight with Barack Obama making a special( not so surprise) appearance at the Convention has just lifted my spirits and has made me feel so proud to say that I am a democrat and that I am a supporter of Obama/Biden and I just hope that I can do my best as a lil ole volunteer to help get them to their rightful place at the end of this long race and that being at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and a lil place known as the WHITE HOUSE.
  Other than that nothing much movin with trying to get on the diabetes pump I have continued to talk with different people and try to get different point of view on what kind of pump is the best to get and such information regarding stuff like that. I found out today that the lab that I got blood drawn from mislabled it so I have to do it all over again oh well.. then I have scheduled my first of two meeting with the diabetes educators for mid october and the other is in mid november so hopefully by the holidays i will be on the pump...
 well thats about it..

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...

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, "

Soo as we finished up week # 4 and start towards the home stretch, I am amazed at how fast this experience has gone.  I have waited over 3 years for this experience and to be on the fields working and learning and gaining experience that hopefully I will be able to use in order to become a better umpire, then I was before I came here.  Also getting to know and meet the instructors has been amazing. To personally get to talk with and get to know this guys that I have watched for years on tv and to just see them and talk with them has been a great learning experience.  As the guys have hammered into us, "Don't leave this experience with any regrets." I am definitely not going to do that. Even with my knee injury, I never stopped I kept fighting and learning and busting my ass to get back on the field, and I can tell everyone that I will not have any regrets when I come home, I will have left everything out on the field and will have made each and everyone of you that has...
