We started this blog when we were expecting Daniel. He's growing up so fast, and we now keep this blog mostly for him. It is our a way of memorializing our experiences of parenting and his amazing childhood, so as not to forget the magic time that this is.

From PunkieDaddy
Hey Dude, It's game seven of the American League Championship Series and the Sox are up one to nothing over the Cleveland Indians. Thought you'd want to know.

You may have made Don's day (and reminded me of that thing about my sending my Toastmasters speeches to my grandson), but I wonder whether Son really wants to know this! Possibly not. But I expect that he DOES want to know that his dad loves baseball! Same as, my grandson may not be interested in those speeches, but I hope he wonders what it was all about that his grandpa joined Toastmasters in his fifty-first year. Did he suffer from "stagefright" or what?
My dad loved baseball too, and just possibly I grew up playing baseball (in high school, in Babe Ruth League, and even as a freshman in college and intramurally in college) because that was "his sport." He even liked to think (and I came to like to think too) that Jerome Hannah "Dizzy" Dean and his brother Paul were cousins of ours. One of my dad's fondest memories seemed to be actually seeing Dizzy at a local baseball game somewhere in Arkansas, probably in the late 1920's.
