This and That and Everything In Between

Hey everyone. I think this is my 3rd attempt at posting since my last actual post. Everytime I try it seems I don't know what to put down or what I have down seems dumb. So this post probably won't contain too much that will interest you.

Baseball is back in full swing and that is wonderful. I can't remember so many games being postponed due to weather though. I guess that's what happens when you have winter conditions is mid April. If anyone needs to know anything about the Cleveland Indians I can probably be of some assistance since I get all of their games. I listen to them at work when they have day games and watch them on tv for night games. Remember the name Grady Sizemore. He's 24, plays centerfield and he's real good. Plus every girl that is a Cleveland fan is in love with him. I'd rather listen to the Tigers but I think I'm one county too far East to get the Tigers. I was spoiled when I was at Toledo. I got both. I was sad to see my Tiger, Mr. Inge get off to a 0-20 start to the season but don't worry Brandon......plenty of games left.

In other news, my immediate family has decided to travel the country. Georgia and California. Don't worry, I'll stay here and look at the gray skies. Someone has to make sure Lake Erie doesn't dry up, right? I do however get to join in the next expedition to the south. It will have been about a 2 year gap since the last time I visited there. I hope the catfish have grown. I have thought about sitting on the dock, fishing pole in hand with the sun shining down with a fresh beer about a million times since I've been there last.

In extended family news and notes there has been a major announcement. Congrats to Amy and Brian on their news of getting married and starting a family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. I'm thinking maybe a boy, left hander......killer curveball. We'll figure that out later.

The Red Sox looked impressive today with a 8-0 win at Fenway. Way to go Sox. Just stay ahead of those Yanks.

In other happenings in my world I have been going to this activity some refer to as a "job". I attend this function daily and take the weekends off. It's not a bad setup. I just wish it would start getting and staying warm. Although I should be careful what I wish for since it feels about 100 degrees at all times in the factory during the summer.

I've also been going to the ymca everyday. That is by far the best part of my day. It gets my morning started right. When I walk out of there at 7:42-7:45 I feel so awake and ready for the day. It's great.

Last weekend I went to Good Friday and Easter services at church. Both were very good. There was one reading in one of the services that stuck with me. Not sure why but I'm sure some readings have done the same with some of you before as well. So I decided I'd post it since I like it.

Matthew 5:10-12

"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

How cool is that?

I think that's all I have for now. Hope all is well with everyone. Bye Y'all.
