Xander ,'Beneath You'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
{{{Deena}}} A dad's heart attack is not necessarily the end. My dad survived his and went on to defeat colon cancer not once but twice. Now he's blissfully married and glowing like a schoolboy with his first girlfriend. FIL survived his heart attack and still wants to go to the bookstore all the time.
Also {{{shrift}}}. I miss my cousin, too.
I was playing third base and missed a grounder because of my old bad habit, and immediately, as if 15 years hadn't passed, I heard from the bleachers: "Put. Your. Glove. DOWN!!!"
I think I would have turned a couple shades of red if my dad did this.

Heh. It was perfectly normal to me. I almost didn't notice.
That ties right into the whole "selective hearing" debate my parents used to have with me.
until you get into a strong, spread position and are keyed to the ball and the bounce.
Wait, are we talking about BASEBALL here?

One of the very interesting things about coaching is that kids who don't belong to you will listen to you, whereas your own kids tune you out.
Emmett does listen to me, but not in the same way. I have to drill him forever while he rolls his eyes and snarks. Eventually though he'll feed it back to me and I know it got through. If Tim is coaching him though, he'll just make an immediate adjustment. Same with Tim's daughter, Emma. When I told her to lengthen her stride while pitching, boom, she just did it.

This jives with what I remember of my dad coaching soccer. He eventually decided to coach a team that none of his kids were on, though all three of us played.
Timelies all!
Deena, I'm sorry to hear about your dad's heart attack. I'm sending much ~ma your way.
shrift, I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin.
I'm back in Colorado. I had forgotten how much I loved living here! The mountains are so beautiful!!! Anyway, I'll be skimming for the next few days because I'm in town for my graduation from law school. I pick up my robes this afternoon and tomorrow is the ceremony.

Darlingnest Scrappy, you've seen Bull Durham enough to know the sex and baseball core values.
