Omg, how is he old enough for that?? Madness.

I managed to convince myself to leave the house for food. Went to the Montreal bagel place, forgetting they don't carry either of my favorites (onion and garlic). Sad. Had two plain instead (apparently I was hungry!). But now I have a trainer session in 20 min, and that may have been a bad plan.

Is Emmett looking to do something more with baseball? Is he looking to get recruited for something?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett's planning on playing college ball at the least. Maybe a scholarship then see if he can take it to the next level.

But all the kids at this camp are good so he's getting a sense of the competition.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Those are always interesting moments in a youth sports career. IME some of them thrive on the realization that being the big dog in their club/school/local team is a small part of the whole picture -- others, not so much.

I hope baseball continues to be an awesome experience for Emmett no matter how far he goes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, that's cool for Emmett.

I'm angry at my DVR -- I swear it was taping stuff Thursday night, but none of it is there now. Luckily, most things are On Demand. Maybe I'm going to ditch the DVR altogether? Then I just have to remember what I watch.

My TiVo is almost filled to capacity with movies from TCM, and I deleted all my subs other than Downton Abbey. The "remembering what I watch" thing is actually a godsend because other than Parenthood, Parks and Rec, and Good Wife, it turns out I don't miss a damned thing. I am trying (and succeeding) in reading a lot more until baseball season starts. It's working and for me the tv time was getting in the way of a lot of things. I'm not trashing tv-watching at all, but when I added 10 hours commuting by taking this job, something had to give.

I think my cat has sleep apnea. He's laying on the other chair in my office, snoring through his stuffy nose, and occasionally he'll stop snoring. t checks cat OK, he just shifted position. But still, tbose breaks in the snoring are disconcerting. Poor kitty with a cold.

Random hivemind question -- what do you do with old pillows? I've bought new ones, so do I just throw the old ones out or can they be donated to a school for arts and crafts or something?
