New York Lunch

Business meeting yesterday. Into NYC for lunch and a meeting and home almost in time for dinner.

Fathers Day

Had a wonderful fathers day even if only 1 of my 2 kids were home to celebrate it.

Went to Pop's house for some family time and he looked good and sounded good too. This week kicks off more medical stuff for him, so I hope he keeps it up.

Dumb cats

Gracie on the deck minutes before falling off swatting at a bug....

School is almost over

Well today is it, the last day of the school year for Kiki and Joel. Joel actually graduated 8th grade yesterday with High Honors 3.9-4.0 GPA. Pretty damn proud of him. He's off to Wisconsin Dells for a day at MT Olympus. Kind of sad but happy at the same time - he is moving on to high school. Not a little kid anymore.

Fun Tuesday?

Today ought to be interesting. I have to chapperone the 2nd grade field trip to the Milwaukee public Museums IMAX theatre. Last time I did this it was for Joel and I don't think it turned out all that well for him. Probably too old for me now.

It will be worse but better today. I know Kiki likes it, that makes me happy.

Now to make a bag lunch.

Prayers for Grandpa as he goes in for another biopsy today.

Monday night baseball

Famington Pony Win 19-2
Joel 1-4, A couple nice plays at 2nd and no pitching line tonight.

Farmington Midget C girls softball L 21-1.
6-7-8 year olds vs what I would guess to be a 9-10 year old team. Mackenzie went 2-2 and yours truly umped the best game ever according to Kiki. That was worth it right there.

60 Posts and counting

Well Since I started this Blog thingy I have made over 60 posts.

Not sure if that is good or bad....

Baseball tonight, home against beechwood for Joel and home against Fredonia for Mackenzie. Looks like I will be umpiring for the girls.

Nothing else new really. Dad goes in for the biopsy tomorrow. Then a plan of treatment. I wish we could get there already. This is stressful enough.

If they are not able to dry the field adequately I may transfer Filthy Hobo Ale to the secondary fermenter tonight.

Only 4 days of school left too....Now if only the weather would say summer like the calendar does.

baseball results

Farmington lost to Eden. The record stands at 2-3.

Joel went 0-1 1K
Pitching was good:
3 IP, 4H, 4 R, 2ER, 1 BB, 5K 1 HB

Rollercoaster

It's been a rollercoaster of emotions lately. Wednesday, Dad called me to say the tests were inconclusive and it did not look like lung cancer, maybe lymphoma. Not great but better than LC. Had a CT of his head done because of all the recent headaches. Yesterday Mom called me to say that they saw lesions which is cancer. Apparently it mestatized already. Feeling nothing but numb right now. He has an appointment with the radiologist in a few days for treatment discussions. He still has another biopsy to go through as well. Maybe I think the headaches were a minor blessing so that they were able to discover that right away. I don't know what to think.

Last night was baseball and softball night.

Joel's team lost 8-7... 1-3 at the plate
Mackenzie's team lost their first game too. Something to Something - no scoreboard person.

I will have Kiki's schedule out there today or so.

Nothing else to write about for now.....

June 1st

What a nice day. Woke up with a wicked headache. I like Pyramid's Apricot Ale but it does not like me.

Read the paper on the deck. threw a pork shoulder on the grill, did some grocery shopping and then did some easy yardwork. Ate dinner, took the pooch for a walk. Over a mile. Bailey was tired, but he made it.
Now it's bedtime.

Pork, its whats for dinner.

Summer is here. Nice Weather and a pork shoulder being slow roasted/smoked.
