No More Pencils, No More Books…

…no more teacher’s dirty looks!  Collin officially finished 3rd grade today.  Then his baseball team celebrated by winning their game tonight, 12-4.  We’re celebrating ourselves by going to an Indianapolis Indians baseball game tomorrow night.  The Pirate Parrot will be there to entertain the fans, and the team is signing autographs before the game.  I [...]

The Latest Sign of the Apocalypse

At least for one day, when you check out the MLB standings this morning, the Tampa Bay Rays have the best record in baseball.  Never thought I’d be saying that in my lifetime.  For so many years, you’d have to substitute “best” for “worst” in that sentence.  Way to go Rays!

Happy Memorial Day!

We finally got summer up here in Indiana.  A beautiful day yesterday in the upper 70s.  Although it will be warm today, we’re supposed to get some of those storms that have been plaguing the middle of the country with tornadoes lately.  We’re planning on going to the Peel’s house for a cookout later.
Yesterday we [...]

Won it By a Field Goal

Wow.  Collin’s baseball team knocked the cover off the ball last night.  They ended up winning their game by a football score of 20-17.  We had our first inning where we scored the maximum runs allowed (7) before getting 3 outs.  We still struggle with throwing the ball around the infield too much and letting [...]

I WON!

OK, so when I’m in the car I’m usually listening to a CD or my iPod, but in the mornings I usually listen to WLBC out of Muncie on my way to work.  This morning, I decided to go grab a Starbucks before work, and I’m glad I did!  They have a contest where they [...]

Yay Collin’s Team!

We just got back from Collin’s baseball game.  They were hitting the ball hard all night, but for 4 innings they hit it right at the other team.  They were down 4-1 going into the last 2 innings, and scored 10 runs to win the game 11-6!  Way to go guys!

Collin’s Spring RRR Show

I took pics at Collin’s Riverview Rocket Revue show last night.  It was their next-to-last show for the year, and they did a terrific job!  I also recorded their previous night’s performance on my digital video camera, but I’m still getting that put together to post online.
Their outfits made an American flag (Collin is third [...]

Facebook Addiction!!!

My nephew Aaron wrote on his blog about how we Lehrians are all addicted to Facebook now.  And he blamed ME for starting it!  Here’s a video I ran across about Facebook addiction, and how to know if you’re addicted:

According to the video, I’m not quite addicted yet, but I better watch [...]

Guys’ Weekend

Renee is going to a Women’s Retreat our church is putting on this weekend.  Well, OK, it’s only tonight and most of tomorrow.  But that means us guys are on our own.  Collin has another RRR performance tonight, and a coworker of mine has graciously offered to watch Ian for me while I go watch [...]

The Good Guys Are Winning!

Most people know that I’m a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Less people know that I’m also a fan of the Tampa Bay Rays.  Yes, I know – 2 of the biggest laughingstocks in Major League Baseball in recent years. 
Well, the good guys are winning more often this year.  The Pirates have won [...]
