Happy Easter

I have fallen so far behind Christy in posting now it is unreal. I should have never opened up my big mouth. Anyway, I just needed to send out a shout out to Michael Watts. Hang in there lil man and continue to impress us all with the strength you have been showing. It is always amazing how children lead the way and adults usually follow. We are now officially 3 weeks from softball season!!! I am so excited and to top it off we decided as a league to move to an 18 game schedule for the first time. I am really pumped. I have spent the last 7 months preparing my mind and body and believe I am ready. 63 pounds lighter and feeling like I can take on the world at 35 years old is a great feeling. Just as an aside, Easter is supposed to be a time when we are happy spring is here. Not today. Pittsburgh had snow and it is in the 30's. Believe it or not it is colder today than it was on Xmas day. I am so ready for some nice warm sun and to be able to open up the windows and get some fresh air in here and get rid of the funk, if you know what I mean. Some of the things I am looking forward to this spring and summer:

1. Softball Season
2. Motley Crue's new album in the summer, with a tour to follow. I don't know if it can ever top what George and I saw the nite of hurricane Katrina but man I would like to try and top it.
3. The original Asia's new album "Phoenix"
4. Seeing Journey with Arnel Pineda and Heart and Cheap Trick...Great bill and I hope it doesn't disappoint.
5. Going to PNC Park and watching some baseball on a great summer nite. There is nothing better than the ball park on a summer nite.
6. Finally, the Pittsburgh Penguins contending for the Stanley Cup. I love hockey and I love watching this young team play. Pittsburgh has something to be so excited about.

Happy Easter everyone...and Holla if you hear me!!!!

Recap of Things

First, let me start off by saying that I am sick of winter...!!!!! Today it was in the mid 60's and I went outside in a pair of shorts for a run...God, I cannot wait until spring finally gets here....Of course tomorrow it is supposed to rain and get real cold again. Figures....The weekend was great but lately they all have been great. I will explain at a later date. I like being coy. The Pittsburgh Penguins are doing great in hockey even with all of their players getting hurt. Talk about resiliency....Baseball season is less than 30 days away from getting started. Sadly, as a Pirate fan I know that the season is over before it begins but it still does not take away my love of the game. My guess is that softball season is less than a month away and so that has me real excited. The games, the guys, and the beer. The triple threat of fun. I am healthy than I have been in a real long time so I am excited. I am in the best shape I have been in in the last 10 years. 60 lbs. lighter and ready to do some damage. I am interested to see if I can turn back the clock one last time. I finally pulled out my Mickey Mouse stuffed animal doll that I have had boxed up for the last year and a half. I boxed him away because I was told it wasn't a grown up thing to do by someone that really could use some not so grown up in her life. But I was told that hey who we are is who we are. On a positive side note, Christy Watts has gone crazee on her blog. I couldn't get her to update it for like 7 months and now I am having a hard time keeping up with all of her updates. You go girl....I am praying for Michael and all of you. If he is as tough as his mom then he will be more than alrite. On that note, Holla if you hear me!!!!!!
