Baby on the way!!!!



Well that is right we are about to have a baby!


I found out after my surgery on Friday. I had to get a couple


of clarifications, but it is definitely a baby on the way.


We are super excited as well as shocked a bit, but it is going to be awesome to start a


family with kids.

Summer is just about over.

Well I had my birthday on the 15th of this month and that for me is the day I consider the last day of summer. Leaves are failing, the temperature is getting cooler by the day. We have had rain the last week straight. Anybody say, Seattle. Fantasy leagues, bowling leagues. I spent my first 5 days without Becky as she enjoyed some extended time with her family. I missed her a lot though. Today I had most of the excess waste in my mouth removed. Popsicles and bad tasting medicine for the next week or so. I am not liking this surgery deal. Hopefully we can nip that in the bud. So let the fall roll in.

Happy Left Handers Day!11 (also some guy named Ben LaBarge's b-day)




Ok so today is the second coolest day of the year. It is International Left Handers Day! Also it is Ben Labarge's 59th birthday. Happy Birthday. Your wheelchair is coming in the mail. LOL. Anyway on this day in 1976 people realized I was left handed and needed a special day to commemorate, two days before my birthday. Very cool. Just Google Left Handers Day to find out a lot of cool stuff about this holiday. I don't really share a lot of the radical thought that are out there, but I think it's cool anyways.

Pummeled!



On Monday I went to go play tennis with my Uncle Phil. Now he has played a lot of tennis in his day, and is 20 years older than I am, I felt I could be a bit of a factor. By no means was I going to win. That being said I thought I had a chance. Well as we played I learned, i had alot to learn. One key play is when he hit a backhand from the his far left side with smash-like force to the far corner on my left side as I am in my right corner. Zero chance to get that. Even speedy Gonzales had no chance on that. I lost the first set 6-1 and the second set 6-0. That is what I like to call a toushe whooping. I learned alot about my game. So that was cool. We have more matches scheduled, so we'll see how that goes.
