Baseball

I’ve always been a big baseball fan, and fortunately I married one too. We’ve passed that love of the game on to our kids. My son had his first 2 double game in coach pitch and was ecstatic. And he’s particular about calling them real doubles or due-to-errors (which is common in coach pitch). He hit both of them right down the third base line.

Health Related

My family (not my wife or kids) has had some recent health related setbacks in the last year.

A couple of years ago, I designed (and had minted) a challenge coin. I have a few left if anyone is interested. $15 for one or $25 for two. Shipping to USA included.

Braves fans first. But baseball fan overall. My phone surfaced this photo from a few years ago today. Son had been begging to catch an Astros game.

Wow, Google didn’t mess up the gumbo by adding tomatoes. Pretty accurate representation of the best gumbo.
