Just keeping tabs on the real world

Sorry for the lack of updates. I looked and realized that I hadn't even visited my own site in a couple of weeks. So let me see what has happened lately. Softball season is over now. We got eliminated in the playoffs pretty darn quickly. We had a problem scoring runs this season and that carried over to the playoffs and that is the reason I am writing about the season instead of playing the championship. Last nite, we did have our annual end of season softball pool party. We had such a good time. We had lots of food, lots of beer, and lots of swimming. There is some rumblings that we may have a fall ball league coming up. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Karen and I have had a lot going on since we got back from our trip. Every weekend has been packed with graduation parties, family reunions, and pool parties. I have to admit it has been great to get out and enjoy the summer with someone so special. Next weekend, we are going away for a few days to a house on a lake. Hopefully, we have some nice relaxing times ahead of us. I have been trying to follow Michael Watts and his all star team thru the local papers in virginia but if you know anything about the south you know that news travels very slowly down there. Best of luck boss or congratulations or there is always next year!!!! As for me, I am going to go out for my run right now and try to work up a sweat...yippee for me....

The way that the dew was sitting on the plants was so pretty that I got right over the plant and took some great pictures to show you how pretty it really is up there. I hope you enjoy it!!!!!

Some of the local talent. This little baby let me climb on my hands and knees and get close enough to shoot him in this picture. Thanks bud!!!!

High Upon The Mountain Top

This is the view on top of Mt. Nittany. Karen and I decided
to hike the Mountain on Saturday. It is a 6 mile hike
and boy was it fun. As you can tell it was a bit hazy at the
top but you can see the football stadium and the basketball
arena. A great view with a great day!!!!!

This is the love of my life....Ms. X is actually Karen Ferina and the best thing that has happened to me. I know I have had some friends out there who have been wondering who this mystery girl has been and now I have revealed her to all of you. I have never been with someone that makes me feel so alive and comfortable in my skin. She loves to laugh at me and with me and we have shared a lot of good times together. This weekend was easily the best!!!! She is special and makes me feel that way everyday....

The Unveiling

Well the 4th of July weekend came and went and let me tell you it was probably the best weekend I ever had. Ms X and I finally got to steal away for a weekend and go to a bed and breakfast. The great thing about this place was that it was right outside of State College, Pa., which everyone knows is where Penn State University is located. I attended there so I had a good knowledge of the surrounding areas. We had a great time. We started off by attending 4th Fest. This festival is so awesome, I can't even begin to describe it. Believe it or not State College, Pa has the 4th largest fireworks in the country. We paid for a VIP viewing pass for the fireworks. This viewing area puts you less than 50 yards away from the fireworks. It was off the hook!!!!! We went to a street dance after the fireworks and waited for the traffic to die down and then headed back for some rest. We woke up to omelettes and sausage and coffee and fruit and whatever else we wanted. Now I will show you some pictures of our trip and you can see how great it was. Holla!!!!!
