It's A Good Weekend!

The weekend started out in excellent fashion last night with Jessie, my 16 old daughter, playing on her softball team for the Rec League Championship. Some history. This is the team that has been playing together for the past two years. The first year they just got the living shit kicked out of them almost every game. They were young, inexperienced, and basic fodder for the other teams. Last year was a bit better. THIS YEAR they kicked ass.

For the first time in Rec League, a girls team went undefeated in the regular season and in the playoffs. That's called "taking your licks" and then taking names. They deserved it. These girls help each other out, don't critcize each other stick together like no other group the coach has seen. Anyway, as usual, I forgot the camera. Jen forgot the camera. And we have no pictures. Poo. Some other, more on the ball, parent will probably have pictures for the entire team. Duh!

Next good thing. Jason is home from Camp LeJeune, NC! For those of you who don't know he is a Marine. He called last night and I went to Columbia this morning to pick him up. Got a ride with a guy who has a girlfriend in Columbia. He doesn't have to be back until 1800 on Tuesday (that's 6 pm). So he gets to stay home for 2 extra days more than we thought. Cool. And yes, I will try and remember to take some pictures and post them here over the weekend. He looks good and likes the job that he is doing in LIght Armored Recon. It will be a good weekend.

And the real shit is that I get Monday off, work Tuesday and Wednesday, then fly to Phila with Jen and Jessie to visit The City of Brotherly Love - who, by the way just celebrated the 20th anniversary of dropping a bomb down the chimney of Move Headquarters - Here is a blog link which has inof and some discussionPhilly Blog. 61 homes burned, 11 people killed and $42 Million dollars later - Brotherly Love?!? Anyhoo, I get to see the Rents and take my Dad to a Phillies game on Sunday. The weather has been very sucky there - rainy and cold - so I hope that the weekend holds out for the game!

I will be able to blog there if the same hotel has the wireless access that it had two years ago. Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend.
