Fastpitch Softball

Well it's that time again. This is the time of year that Adelaide has been waiting for all winter. Time for fastpitch softball and yes I know I said I was not going to coach again, but how can I turn down Adelaide's sad eyes when she asked if I was going to coach her team (I know I am a SUCKER!). It is a lot of fun once you get through all of the paper work and can actually get out on the field and get dirty. So if you are reading this blog please stop and say a little prayer for me. I now have twelve 7&8 year old little girls to take under my wing and try to teach them something about this game.
I will try to blog as much as I can through the season to let you know how it is all going. Maybe I will have some time to post some photos too.

On Enemy Grounds

Being the Georgia Tech fan that I am it almost broke my heart when my girls said that they would rather go to a Georgia game than a Georgia Tech game. You know what they say about daddy's girls. (Well even if you don't what they say, who ever they are.)
Well anyway we ended up on the University of Georgia's campus to see the Lady dogs play. Although they were beat by Arkansas this afternoon we did have a great time. If you look very close at the photos you will notice that I do not appear in any of them. Not that people did not offer to photograph me, I just said no thanks. You know what happen to Michael Phelps this past week. I'm just saying I don't have the time to be on the run from CNN, Fox, MSNBC, CBS, Discovery Channel, etc... Well it's time to start winding down for the night and Repent. --Later--

Maile Sr. Night

Well for those of you who don't know it all came to an end tonight. It was bittersweet. The last game of the regular season for the Lady Raiders (bitter part). They beat Winder 43 to 35 (sweet part). I want to take just a moment to say a little something. Maile I have not known you since you were a baby or anything like that, but I have know you long enough to say that you ROCK!!! You are definitely something special. If you take on the rest of the world like you do the basketball court then nothing can stop you. I hope that my own girls take a little of what they saw in you this season. I have enjoyed every minute on the court and in the stands with your parents even though I have to wear ear plugs if I sit with your dad. Well I said that so I could tell you I wish you all the best in the future and I pray for blessings over you in everything that you do.
Your Fan,
Tom
