Another Update

Here we are in April and believe it or not it is snowing up here today...What a frickin joke!!! It is spring for goodness sake. On the upside, major league baseball started up today and the Pirates won a game. They won't win many more so I had to be happy with what I got.....The recovery from the shoulder surgery is going slow but we made a major jump today in that I finally was able to add some resistance to my exercises. It may seem small but it is a large step in my recovery. Of course just when I was feeling real good I tripped walking up the stairs to the house and landed directly on my shoulder. I am such a turd...Only I could be so graceful that I could trip going up the stairs. Sometimes I wonder how I haven't hurt myself worse. Softball looks like it is going to be a bust for me this year. The recovery is just taking so long that I don't know if I am going to be able to regain strength in time to make any sort of contribution. Maybe this is a sign. 3 of the last 4 years I have not been able to participate or finish a season. I just can't seem to let it all go. Over the weekend, Karen and I and my parents took the 4 youngest kids to the circus. It was the first time for them and it was exciting to see their faces. I have some great pictures and when I get a chance I will post them. Easter is right around the corner so it is close to putting on the easter bunny outfit for the year...Each holiday is a new experience for me, Karen and the kids. I love it. The wedding is close to six months away and right now I feel great about it. No nerves yet. I am sure they are going to come. I am too high strung for them not to. But I have never been so sure about anything in my life. Most days are fantastic..Sometimes we have disagreements but most times we are of like minds. That makes for a strong team I think. I am going to wrap up now and I hope to post again soon. I am back in the rhythm of posting on this damn thing so holla if you heard that!!!!
