Are the Baby Bulls Leaving????

An interesting article on the Bulls free agency situation this summer. It looks as if either Tyson Chandler or Eddie Curry might be out the door.

My family reunion in Souix Falls, SD. Yeah, I know I couldn't believe that black folks live there either. ;-)

Another disappointing end to the softball season

Well another year another chance for my softball team to get bounce out of the playoffs early. It was a double elimination tournament and both teams we lost to we were able to beat in the regular season. It doesn't make sence.

Here are the stats for the season!!!

Softball - Week #10

Well we are starting to pick the "O" back up. We had a nice little 24-5 win over a decent team. It just seems like our offense is up and down all year and you can tell by looking at our season. We haven't had a winning or losing streak sinse the month of May.

I'm still a little disappointed in my numbers because I tend to pop the ball up too often. I lead the team in "reached on error" plays. But overall my numbers are starting to pick back up. And besides my boy Jeff that is new to the team has been picking up the slack. And now that I bat behind him in the cleanup spot, he takes a few of my RBI's since our 1 and 2 guys have OBP's around .700. It's all good though, I just need to adjust my game and get on base to let someone else hit me in.

Here are a look at our team stats

Apple 1 to 1 Learning Solutions

This is an interesting educational program set forth by Apple Computers. Their initiative is to have a 1-to-1 ratio of computers to students in every school.

Apple - Education - Apple 1 to 1 Learning Solutions

I even read about a school in Arizona that is in the program and is getting rid of all text books. They will be creating a totaly digital learning environment.

Another Nice Tube!!!

I don't know what it is, but it seems like the more I start looking at condos to buy the more I look at big screen HDTV's. Here's another one that I like. And to top it off it's on sale at Best Buy now.

Nice Tube!!!!

A friend got me hip to this new LCD TV. This is hot. And for the 3G's that it's worth it better be.

Maybe one day. ;-)

Had a nice time at the Cleveland Indians game this weekend.

Softball - Week #5

Well surprise surprise. My team pulled off an upset of a decent team in the A League (the good league of teams). This just might be what we needed to instill a little confidence in us. Hopefully we'll take this game and build on it. We still play everyone in out league at least one more time and we are only 3 games out of first place. And once the playoffs start anything can happen.

Here are a look at our team stats:

Softball - Week #4

Well we had another tough outing on the diamond last week. We ended losing to another team that we shouldn't have. We were winning this game like 11-2, but gave up our lead and took the game to two extra innings. We ended up losing in the end.

Here's a look at the stats.

This week we play a team from the A league (the good league). I don't see things looking up for a while. Everyone is starting to get frustrated on the squad. This might be what we need to turn the season around.

Nice Article on Manu

It's good to see Manu Ginobili get the national media attention that he deserves. I've always loved his game. He's an impact player that does many things to change the game. He can score, dish, play D, get a steal, grab a board, take charge, and pop the 3.

Jeff's Wedding - New Orleans, LA

Well I just got back from New Orleans, LA for a wedding. Jeff Grant, my boy from high school, just got married one day and he graduated from Tulane Law School the very next.

Go ahead dog!!!!

It was a good time. Even though I didn't get much sleep, me and the fellas squeezed in some time to check out the new Star Wars joint. Of course we got a chance to chill down on Bourbon street in the French Quarter, but I left all of those photos out. ;-)



Here are some more joints from the wedding though: PHOTOS

Softball - Week #3

Another rough outing. We ended up loosing to a team 8-12. We were alot better than the opposition, but we couldn't come through. I felt like I had my worst softball game ever. I made an error and I also didn't get a single hit the entire game. The only way I got on base and scored a couple of runs is because of errors from the other team.

These are the stats for the year so far: STATS

We should have a pretty easy game today, since we play a team that lost 1-33 last week. But you never know. I thought the Spurs would sweep the Phoenix Suns as well. :-(

Another Rough Softball Game

I think that this game was more painful than the game we lost last week 14-40. Last week we were leading the entire game, then all of a sudden the last two innings we stopped hitting and playing defense. We were the visiting team and we gave up the winning run in the bottom of the last inning with two errors.

Here's a look at the stats for the year and the last game: STATS

Good News for MOT stock for once!!!!!

It looks like Motorola stock has been doing pretty well lately. It must be all those late hours that I'm putting in. ;-)

But it seriously might be about that time to flick some of those stock options that I get every promotion. I don't see myself holding onto those things for the long-term. I'll seriously have to look into it tonight.
