WOW LONG TIME NO POSTINGWELL

WELL.... let see where to begin! I had a very interesting summer, doing some umpiring and a lot of theatre. Actually 2 seperate but wonderful productions. 1 was a local theatre companies production of 42nd St which was a very stressful, but in the end a very rewarding experience leaving me with a set of new friends and memories! While doing 42nd St I was also presented with a chance to do something that i had never done before, which was Opera. I was at a rehearsal for 42nd st when the production manager came in one day and asked for the names of all the guys in the cast who were free and wanted a chance to do the production. SO I gave her all the names and to my luck I was the only one she called back.
So I met with the director and was offered the part of Ambrogious in Barber of Seville ( which I accepted) and started doing rehearsals for that show along with going into production for 42nd St. 42nd St debuted in mid july and was a wonderful success minus a few scares including me fainting due to dehydration and high blood pressure :( but i came back and was able to finish the run of the show. Barber of Seville then debuted in August and also went without a hitch and was another HUGE SUCCESS .
SO my summer consisted of a lot of theatre a lot of umpiring and making of new friends. I had a summer romance which lasted for about a month sadly before we both realized that the distance between us was in a way to great for us to work through, but we are still good friends and care a lot about one another!
I am now currently back to work for the local cable access tv station and searching for a few other part time/full time jobs including just recently interviewing for a local sports writers position at a local news paper, and will be interviewing for doing some possible substituting teaching in the local communities.
Overall things aren't exactly where I would like for them to be, but as I usually tell my friends, " as long as ur breathing.. things will be okay!"
I will try and update this on a more regular basis for my many readers curious to what is going on inside the mind of the sashman!

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...

What a LIFE

So let me think I haven't updated this since late november and quite a lot has happened.. I got myself a new kitten after the death of my 17 year old one and she is quite a handful but worth every second that I am with her.. her name is mitzvah or mitzy ( it means blessing in hebrew) but pretty much after bringing her home as part of my family my cat of 9 years quickly became sick and on december 6 after already been brought to the vet and told that he was just very sick and given a shot and to give him time to heal and recover I had to take him to an emergency vet. Sadly he didn't make it and died in my arms * the third cat in the past 4 months to die in my arms) SO yeah that was quite a shock..  So beside dealing with a lot of the pain and hurt from that I have been turning most of my attention towards work. I have worked at borders for just over a month and I love it! I LOVE the people the atmosphere everything.. and I don't really mind the hours I have had to wake up at...

A New Year, A New Me?

So with it now being 2021, My hope is that things will start to get better, ( like most everyone else). I have continued to struggle with some of the same issues, that I had in previous years, mostly my health (physical, mental/emotional being the main two.  A lot of the health issues are due to my diabetes, which this September will be 21 years that I was diagnosed.  It has been a roller coaster over these past two decades, but I am always doing my best to maintain as good “control” as I can. However, it continues to be a frustrating situation, especially when there is so much disconnect between doctor’s offices, pharmacies, and of course the biggest brick wall ever, the Insurance Company.   While I was living back in Vermont, I was truly lucky to have some of the best health care that was available to me at the time.  However, since moving to Florida, eight years ago this July, I have found that its a constant battle to be able to not only get my insulin covered, b...
