Ok, I know this must sound a little selfish but I am extremely happy about there only being one more week of basketball left until I get all my guys for baseball and we can finally start to rock and roll...
Of note:
* This weekend was the Round Rock Alumni game. It was awesome to see everyone and see how things are going. It is almost like going to a reunion every year and catching up. This year I ended up catching like 4 innings and didn't even kill myself. I also had my first hit (albeit against my old coach, but when you don't usually get a lot of hits anymore, you will take it as you get it. Going to Junior's and spending time with Scott Hampton and his wife, Andy Peoples, Blair Howell and the rest of the bunch was cool. We definately need to do it again.
* The only thing nad about going to Austin was the driving part. I do not like driving on a late Friday and having to drive back on Sunday!!! And I missed a chance to play golf!!! Oh well.
* Erica got her wisdom tooth pulled on Wednesday and the trooper was in A form on Saturday. Can you believe that? I think I would be crying like a little schoolgirl and she comes out and struts her stuff. I am impressed...I love you Baby!!!
Well enough I guess for right now. I am glad that Joelle got kicked off the biggest loser (really the on ly real show I watch) and now that DWTS is back on here I know I will not be able to talk to my wife for that hour!!!
Until next time!

Baseball, Basketball and Life
Well, Practice started last friday and we have had 4 practices so far. Let me tell you that having practice with only 5 guys is very tough- really gets you to think outside the box. I am very grateful for this opportunity because in coaching I don't see how you can go through somethin glike this and not become a better coach for it. My compadres who are in much bigger school has no idea what this is like and I am grasping the experience and letting him soak in. I am the steak soaking in marinade, lol.
Well Erica got another Wisdomm tooth taken out just this morning. What a brave chick. Drove by herself, had it doen by a guy in a cave (ok, maybe not) and then drove home. I am impressed. Then to make matter even more tough for her, she is going to come to Round Rock this weekend just to go to my alumni game and then turn around and drive back. She doesn't know it yet but I am going to try to get back so I can play some golf on Sunday, which means i would to leave around 6 in the morning.
I was so juiced the other night after a basketball game because I have my catcher who is one of my five along with a junior who is going to pitch for me this year (apparently he "used" to pitch) The session was in the gym and all we did was throw fastballs from the stetch and just toseed and learned how to hold a curveball, slider, and changeup. I was really hoping he could become a secondor third pitcher, but he will have the stuff to be our number one. It really just depends on whether or not he can handle the new pressure on the mound...
Speaking of basketball, I actualluy had to referee last nights JV boys basketball game. I was pretty good I must say, but still is a lot of running around...I felt like a dog on a dog run! No wonder I didn't like basketball that much growing up!!!
Decided that our next puppy will probably have to be a Newfie. I just can't get over a dog that is as big as my great dane but heavier and that countries and organizations use these dogs to resue people from the seas and rivers. Think of a black lab on steroids...About 150-175 pounds, slighty smaller but more muscular than a great dane and looks like a black bear... How cool is that?!?
Enough for right now, I have to get back to my class- they are silently reading and now we are going to have a pop quiz...
