Dylan had his first baseball game of the year tonight. They have a pitching machine but the rest of the rules are pretty close in that three strikes and your out with a maximum of five pitches. They can advance as many bases as they like too instead of only one base. Three outs and they switch too instead of every kid batting every inning which is really cool.

He went 5-5 and they won 11-2. There was even a play at the plate where he slid around the tag, popped up, looked at the ump for the safe call and got it. He clapped his hands once and and jogged off with a big smile on his face. He looked like a big leaguer which was super cool. This is the first time either of my boys has been on the winning side of an athletic contest. Pretty happy about this.

Very cool.

Fargo's pretty good.

Giving it a big meh so far.

I'll give it another episode or two. Unlike Tanner who watches 'til the first commercial break and bails.

Come on! No way I end up staying awake for this damn thing. Now I'll be going to bed all curious and stuff

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Let hope our Blackhawks can wrap this up before I run out of Busch Lights

I have activated my new Blackhawks hoodie (all prior hoodies were lost in the Great Move of Aught 13), so I feel good about it.

I am trying to generate hatred for the Blues, but it's feeble. I'd still give a billion dollars to see all the Red Wings die in a fire, and I hope the Canucks are mowed down by a herpes bus, but if god doesn't exist and the Blackhawks lose this series, I wouldn't be upset if the Blues won it all.

I feel the same way about the Cubs.

#### the Cubs.

Well now I'm kind of mad at you.

If "my" team can't win, I root for the underdog.

One of our cats is missing. I've been looking for him for 30 minutes and have tried all the usual tricks. He gone. :(

:( I'm so sorry. Do you know how he got out?

We have a fenced backyard and we let all three of them out when the weather is nice. Tonight I did a ribeye Alton Brown style and since I'm having some seasoning issues with my CIS, I kept the back door open with a fan going. It was probably an hour between when I last saw him and when I started looking for him. He's not an escapist and has never shown any curiosity about leaving the yard, so I honestly don't know. I'm hoping he's just being an ####### and is curled up somewhere in our basement, not responding to calls, treats or wet food.

Hi there.

Be very careful with those pines. They are known as "widow makers" in the adjusting community.

Thanks GB. Don't get me wrong, he jacked around like most of the other kids. Like I posted last week, he just looks the part. Very proud dad though.

Im nervous about how I'll take it if my boys suck or dont like sports when they get old enough.

Pretty sure that was the rationale for at least 80% of my sexual conquests.

With Cal, it was like a given. I'm not "that guy" either. I think the proof is there in that I didn't make him play sports because he hated it so much. I was certainly told by every male member of my family how they were sure he was going to be great at sports almost as soon as he was born though. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed. Cal's happiness of course means more to me than some stupid kids sports game.

In a completely unrelated note, Dylan is my favorite son.

My daughters' school is in a district that received a threat of violence for tomorrow (Thurs.). I am 99.9% sure nothing will happen, but plenty of parents are keeping their kids home tomorrow just in case. And even if it is nothing, the kids are already aware, talking about it, and in some cases pretty scared.

My first reaction was if we don't go to school then these aholes that did this have already won. But whats the point of putting them at .0001% risk or even with no risk having them be scared?

I trust you guys input in here.. Thoughts?

ETA: My girls are 1st and 4th grade.

Local news story

SAN ANTONIO — School districts throughout San Antonio sent letters home to parents Monday informing them of an anonymous threat of a mass shooting at an unspecified elementary school.

An email threatening the violence was sent last weekend to numerous Northside Independent School District officials at various elementary schools and its central office. San Antonio Police Department officials met Monday morning with school district police chiefs to coordinate a response.

Officials do not believe the threat is credible but are taking it seriously, Police Chief William McManus said Monday.

I honestly don't know what I would do in this situation, but even just reading this makes my stomach hurt.

 

[shuke]

Funny!

It's true!

Giggle

FWD so true!

This is like #### my FIL prints out to show us.

LawnGuys: we have a tiny yard with two gigantic trees, one of which is some sort of pine-y thing. I've never dealt with pine needles before. Is this a job for a leaf blower? Obviously you can't rake those damn things up.

I think most people just let them act as natural mulch around the tree. I've never seen anyone picking them up.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

whoa

 

[Annyong]

I just heard my kid fart through the baby monitor.

Teach Cal not to take any shit from those goddamn pitching machines. They come up and in, you gotta run out there and knock the shit out of it.
