It's Tuesday...

It's Tuesday, Why is that significant? I am not sure. Good news is today is a baseball day. Fall Baseball for us means an evening on the ball field coaching my son and his teammates. Only two games left this fall season. Our record while not impressive is not indicative of the progress we have made. I am proud of those kids. I wish all the parents acted like they were too...


This season is a special one. I was really missing being out there with the kids over the spring. I arm twisted Tim Macey (One of the baseball parents) to come out and help me take a team this fall. Tim, his wife Heather and their boys Carter and Ben have been around the school and baseball league for the last few years. Parts of my recovery (and now relapse) have been slow and it seems like sometimes the only things that help are doing the things that used to be "normal". Tim's contribution has been immeasurable and this entire season would not have been possible without his help. His understanding and generosity have been a blessing and I will be forever grateful for the gift he has given me. I also need to thank my youngest son Sean for putting up with me and my ridiculous expectations. Thank you for working hard when you didn't want to. I promise, from now on I'll just be a fan ok?


Two more X-Rays today and more CT Scans tomorrow. Scheduling Chemo is going to suck. With the holidays coming the chosen day of Friday is a drag because I can't be away with my family and be here to get chemo at the same time.


Brandon Webb got screwed by not getting the NL Cy Young award. Linecum, the Giants pitcher in his sophmore season had a great year but not nearly as gutsy as the seasoned veteran Webb.

A travesty, just like when the Yankees make the playoffs, the Democrats win the White House or a steak being well done.

If you have cancer you should be able to benefit some way right? I am not talking about getting a speeding ticket fixed or something like that but something easy like being able to visit my son on Saturday instead of Sunday this week. I have Chemo on Friday so it's not like I'll be enjoying that 8 hour car ride but not having to rush home on Sunday afternoon would be awesome... Unfortunately it looks like the Arizona Department of Corrections doesn't care that I have cancer.


I had dinner out with my kids last night. First time in a long time it was just the three of us and we weren't eating happy hour food at Applebees. Credit Casey who wanted to try something new (crab), which I never do so not only did she order Crab (not my favorite) we got mussels to try too... Not a bad as I expected. I was happy to have broadened my horizons if even a little.

I never should have let Casey keep me from line dancing with the wait staff though.
