Lady Jays Softball photos uploaded
Some of my favorite photos from this season have finally been uploaded to the gallery. New to the gallery for those of you who aren’t very computer savey, I’ve added and online store where you can order photos and have them shipped directly to your home for a nominal fee, not much more than doing [...]
Video production
Been knee deep in video production the past week or so for the upcoming Lady Jays Softball banquet. I’ve replaced Final Cut Pro with Adobe’s Premier Production Suite, After Effects, etc., and feel as if I’ve climbed Everest this past week – learning new tools and scrambling to meet deadlines. It’s pretty much just your [...]
Lady Jays Softball photos posted
Lady Jays photos from picture day are finally posted – sorry for the delay. You’ll find them in the Gallery as usual. Season photos will be uploaded in the coming weeks. Yes, I know you’re anxious to see them, but I have to save something for the video. Hang in there and keep your shorts [...]
Republicans won’t support Christine O’Donnell
Really? For my birthday today I just donated some cash to Christine O’Donnell’s Senate campaign in Delaware. Screw you NRSC, Rove, Castle – your lack of support and desire to win can be made up by the rest of us and your lack of principles, when it comes to maintaining the boy’s club, have always [...]
Ricochet pictures uploading
OK, OK, OK… I know, but finally I’m uploading some of the better Ricochet photos from last weekend’s world series. It’ll probably be a few hours yet before all of them have been uploaded, but it’s in progress. I think I got some of everyone – I hope. Anyway, keep checking the Gallery or wait [...]
Do the right thing.
Tony Horton nails it again this month and this month “Fail and try again”, along with “Persevere” mean something to me. Vacation, baseball, softball, etc., have all gotten in the way of my exercising and eating right in recent weeks. I guess that’s to be expected at times, but there’s also been an attitude of [...]
I feel like such a hypocrite
It seem I’m always preaching to others, part of the job I guess, giving encouragement and sometimes a kick in the shorts. I’m not one to sit around and listen to excuses, if you want something, need something, well, get off your butt and go get it. But here’s the confession bit… I have a [...]
Happy 4th
Red Skelton’s Pledge of Allegiance from 1969, both entertaining and meaningful.
Final P90x update
I haven’t written much about my P90x progress or lack of lately. Admittedly, I’m sort of off the program – not exercise as a whole, just the P90x program. I knew this summer with all the travel associated with baseball and softball that it wouldn’t go well. And so I began running about a month [...]
Obama vs BP
I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the BP oil spill in the Gulf. It’s truly a sad and unfortunate chain of events, where many trails of responsibility ultimately broke down. BP, TransOcean, various government agencies and ultimately to the very top of our government itself. This is not meant to take away from [...]
Stress
I hadn’t really come to think of Tony Horton (P90x guru) as a philosopher, but his words about stress in this weeks newsletter are spot on and worth a post. I especially liked the responsibility angle… so few folks today accept that they are responsible for their actions. Sure, we all have bad days, bad [...]
P90x round two week 4
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated anything on the workout routine… A sudden and obvious unexpected death in our family sort of derailed things a bit in week three. Missed workouts, not eating right, stress, etc., meant that I decided it’d be best to just repeat week three. It was the first time I missed [...]
iPhone 4
Yes… I’ll be in line, actually online, ordering mine on June 15th. I swear, Steve Jobs could sell me a rainy day… You can see his keynote here.
P90x summary lost
Yeah, I still owe you guys a summary… it’s been crazy with baseball, softball, work, etc. I’m still at the whole P90x thing – didn’t miss a beat or a day, just kept on going, starting over with day one. I’m now into my third week, almost complete with Phase one for the second time [...]
From one ballpark to another
Another weekend at the ballparks. The Freshman Jays wrapped up their season in Boonville this weekend (Saturday). Weird saying the season is over, but there’s summer ball still to go – that too is an abbreviated schedule compared to what we’re used to around here. Sunday, back at another ballpark, this time for softball and [...]

Top 10 list of things that suck owning a classic muscle car.
Ricochet Pictures Posted
I carved out a section in the gallery and uploaded some of the Ricochet pictures from this weekends Sonic Midwest Invitational. You can view them here or by following the Gallery link above.
P90x day 85
I’m well into the final week of P90x, a recovery week, thus an easy week. I’m still not entirely sure what’s next, I’ll probably just wing it a bit. I thought about another round of P90x, but this time following the diet program. I know I didn’t eat enough during this first round and while [...]
Weekend summary
I ate too much… exercised too little… got way too much sun and 800+ pictures to sort through. It was the first road trip of the summer sports season – softball is officially in full swing. Another new team for Megan this year – Ricochet. She almost joined this team last year (and should have), [...]
Just for today
OK. I guess I’m just a sucker for all these little inspirational tidbits and for some reason they always resonate with me. One of my pals at work has the phrase “Thought – Word – Deed” on his screen saver and I’ve had something similar on a post-it note stuck to my monitor for the [...]
Busy April
It’s been a busy month… P90x as usual. I overhauled the ole ’70 GTO. High compression heads, aggressive cam and everything that goes with it. The car just screams now – not a chance it’ll hook up. Baseball galore, practice and games. And summer softball is getting underway too. Lady Jays Pancake breakfast earlier in [...]
P90x day 79
Or so I think… it’s been awhile since I last blogged – shocker. The whole P90x thing is still on track and I don’t really think there’s a lot to add. I’m still at my goal weight, although I’m beginning to wonder if 155 lbs is truly a weight I can maintain over the long [...]
JC Freshman Photos
Sorry for the delay folks… I’ve run into to technical problems that are preventing me from uploading the baseball photos I’ve taken. I’m working with some folks to get it resolved, but so far no luck – hopefully soon. So stay tuned and keep checking back, we’ll get there and when we do I’ll get [...]
P90x day 68
It’s been a crazy week and pretty successful week… I’ve really tried to push myself, either upping weights or reps with each exercise. That’s not anything out of the ordinary, but I’ve tried to focus extra hard on it this week. The morning workouts have actually been pretty good to me and the bonus has [...]
