- Dear Neighbor – Do not use 1 AM on the evening of the Zimmerman verdict, when everyone is on edge waiting for riots to break out, to take the opportunity to shoot something with your shotgun unless it’s really important. It makes the rest of us jumpy.
- Put in 12 hours yesterday trimming out the porch I built for Irish Woman last fall. Yeah, I’m a bit of a procrastinator in making things pretty.
- All that’s left now is to build and install the railings, a task which Irish Woman has claimed as her own, put a covering on the cement side of the porch, and paint the darned thing.
- ZOMG, have you looked at the price of pressure treated lumber and paint lately?
- No matter how good I feel, how much weight I lose, or how much of my waistline I no longer have, someone takes a photo of me, and I realize just how much further I have to go.
- Today was a beautiful day to take Irish Woman and the kids to a baseball game.
- Boo got a souvenir baseball on the way in. Now he wants a Louisville Slugger.
- Baseball stadium popcorn is apparently dusted with an addictive euphoric. I’ve never seen Boo happier to eat something.
- There was some kind of hippie / hipster jamfest happening down in Louisville today.
- Bud and Bud Light at the stadium, Pabst Blue Ribbon out on the street.
- Maybe I’m wrong, but it seemed weird to see people wearing clothes that would probably have fit in at Woodstock walking into a festival that seemed to only play rap music.
- It’s nights like this that I remember why I walked away from being in charge of people long, long ago.
- Not that it was a probable candidate, but I have announced that I will not support my children in a decision to go to the University of California. Anything run by Janet Napolitano is verboten in Casa de Oso.

/ July 15, 2013Hey DB,
You are in luck, they have that Louisville slugger museum in your hometown. I saw it a few years ago when I was visiting some friends that transferred up there to Kentucky Truck and Louisville Assembly when my assy plant here in Atlanta closed. My son was 7 at the time and he really enjoyed the tour…and the miniature bats that they handed out as SWAG was real neat.

/ July 15, 2013Yeah, that’s a great tour. He’s old enough to take down there now. We’ll probably do it once it starts to cool down a bit. The weather was gorgeous, but we’re about to go into the “Mad Dogs and Englishmen” phase of summer.
