Welcome Back

My goodness its been a while since I last blogged.

I don't think I have much of an excuse other than I was out of town Wednesday and Thursday and I spent the weekend wrapping up baseball season. Just think, there are no more athletic events at Mercyhurst this year. It is definitely a weird feeling to know that I won't be going home to finish concrete with Dad this summer. It will be the first time since I was in 8th grade and even before that that I didn't spend my entire summer slopping around in the gray stuff.

Now I'm a full-time working stiff. There are some things that could shake up here in the next couple of weeks. There are actually four possibilities, each with a different probability of occurring. I do know, though, that the summer in sports information is much, much slower than when the kids are on campus, and it might be time to take up a hobby.

Dad started doing some wood working and I've enjoyed doing that in the past, but I don't have many of my own tools and an apartment isn't the ideal setting for a wood shop. Maybe I could start refereeing basketball games or umpiring baseball games. Maybe I could find an old man basketball league. My ideal summer would be play golf. But I hardly make enough money to support that hobby. In fact, few people do.

If any one has any suggestions, I'd be glad to here it.

I also had a lengthy conversation with a good friend tonight. Being fairly young, it feels kind of odd to have some look up to me, but its a good feeling. I just hope that the advice that I can offer is the right advice.

By the way, last Thursday was my birthday. The 25th birthday makes me feel really old. Some of those who know me know that a long time ago I put my life on a script, or maybe a timeline is a better way of saying it. Up until this year I was right on pace. But I just turned 25 and I'm getting married in September...a year ahead of schedule. But hey, we just couldn't wait any longer. And for this, I'm glad my schedule got changed.
