happy friday

happy friday everyone!

i finally bought my mac mini so i can start playing around the video stuff. final cut pro for the intel isn’t released so i’ll just get to know the machine and maybe use imovie or something like that. the thing is so tiny and quiet that i don’t even know it’s there. performance is reasonable – although i think i might get a faster hard drive than the 5400rpm unit that’s in there now.

i gotta get alyssa started on her pitching too – tryouts for the jv team are just a few months away. i’m going to call gina, the pitching coach, this weekend to get her started. we might pitch for a few days this weekend to get her arm up strengthened up before we meet up with the coach.

i think the picture is a few weeks old but look how many teeth he’s got. i’m working this weekend so i can have labor day off. i guess that’s good and bad. then on sunday, i’m playing 18 holes with the boyz – finally! it’s been like 6 months since my last competitive golf round but deep cliff is a good place to come back since it’s two 9-hole par-3 courses jammed together.

mercury lynx for all

[the lynx was the mercury version of the ford escort…i realize that is pretty lame]

oh…and punky brewster turned 30 today. i didn’t realize she was right behind me in age – i was consumed with alyssa milano at the time anyway.

back online (again!)

so, i think it’s time to begin posting again. after getting out of the hospital, i think i’ve had to catch up for the last 6 months. things are calming down a little now that softball season is over and we’re clearing out the to-do list a little. by the time i got back to the blog, i realized that a few posts are missing, but i only have one reader anyway, so whatever.

i’m at work today till midnight covering a shift for one of our australian guys. i had a couple beers today at the art and wine festival so even a small nap might be in order.
