Ugh...finally back to it...

Last post was in February...it has been a crazy month & half....

My wife's grandmother finally started to give in to bone cancer and so it was off to California for her. She was out there for 3 weeks before Rene'e finally passed on. So while she was out there I played the "single dad" role - taking kids to and from activities, feeding them, cleaning house, all that fun stuff! We made it through.....she came back home Sunday.
Not much basketball going on except for my Springs Fox 7th grade girl's team...first game was a win! They were down by 15 at one point and manged to come back and win by 3! What a way to start! Game 2 didn't go as well. The girls were never really in it and lost by 16 - but they played hard and I noticed that they never gave up. Something we can work with.....games 3 and 4 were two of the roughest games I have ever coached. Our girls were being constantly thrown or pushed to the floor, but I'll say this - they were as tough a team as I have seen at this level and we won both games by ONE point each! That runs the record to 3 wins, 1 loss up until this day....2 games coming up this weekend.
Softball umpiring has started but since there are so few teams in the Park & Rec, I got very few assignments. It's cool because I know I will be taken care of this summer.

I want to write, but have had such a block here recently. Life has interfered with my pursuit of fun....so I shall endeavor to "fix" that soon.....
