New Beginnings

Blogging apparently takes a back seat when life gets busy.

Since my last entry the high school basketball season has come to an end, thus ending my announcing for the season.  The team in which I announce for went down to state and ended up getting 3rd.  They had the talent to win it all.  Sad to see them lose.

Also since my last entry I have begun coaching baseball at the freshman level.  It's pretty much what you imagine, except probably more stupid issues to deal with.  It actually wouldn't be that bad if half our team was borderline ineligible.  Seriously!  10 out of 21 guys have at least a D or F if not multiple Ds or Fs.  It could get ugly really fast if they don't get their act together.  Other than that, I love it.  Coaching baseball is a lot of fun.  Our first game is next week Tuesday.  We look to have a lot of promise this year.  For freshmen, they're pretty good.

Another knew beginning since my last update is there is now a baby being formed in my wife's womb.  I'm pretty sure it's mine.  Kidding.  It's mine.  Ours.

All kidding aside, we are very excited about being future parents.  Personally, it hasn't really sunk in yet that I'm going to be a dad.  Everyone I've talked to says it's the best thing to ever happen to them.  I guess it will become very real soon enough.  Anna is due mid-August.  I hope for her that it is a cooler summer (I also hope so for the sake of our A/C bill).

I am going to do my best to continue blogging more regularly.  I know this post is a little scatter-brained, but that's ok.  I'm writing this and watching the latest episode of Psych at the same time, so whatever.

I foresee my blog shifting and changing shapes over the course of the next several months.  I think in the long-run I'd like to see this become my humorous observations of being a dad.  Not necessarily a "hey-look-how-cute-my-kid-is" blog (although, it will probably happen, so I apologize in advance), but a "hey-my-kid-did-this-really-funny-thing", or "I-made-this-quirky-observation-about-fatherhood" blog.  We'll see.  It's way to early to tell.

I leave you with this:
