update wow long time

So lets see what has happened lately.. i have been working for the local cable access tv station filming local community events mainly school board and local town meetings which i mean if it was the town i lived in I would be more concerned about what was going on.. but yet thankfully i get paid nicely for it and i mean I also have been able to choose a few events of my choosing such as about a month ago i got to film some local basketball games, and also a few musical events which always bring back memories.

So what else I have been doing.. well I still go to the gym about 2/3 times a week which has helped me keep my weight steady and my blood sugars down my last A1c was about 9.2 which is still not where I want it but I am hoping that the next check it will be around 8.

whatelse.. I have once again signed up with the NHBUA BUD Baseball Umpire Development program been going once a week to umpiring classes so once again when the weather clears up in april I will be back behind the plate or on the bases depending on the game but I will be doing games in and around central New Hampshire and hopefully this time that i take the written test i will pass I need a 80 to pass and I have been really studying this time compared to 4 years ago where I had a lot of stuff going on.. so hopefully it will pay off in june.

So yah thats about it

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...
