A Few Tidbits That Don't Individually Rank Needing Their Own Blog Posts

I went to a minor league ball game with my son, my dad, and Q the other day and had a great time. It's one of the perks of the new job, that I get tickets once in a while for the games with a parking pass that is right next to the stadium and free food and drinks. Minor league games attract a different crowd than major league games (read: more women) and the set up in Frisco is really top notch. The stadium is really nice and they have lots of entertainment in between innings. My favorite part was when my dad and son started slam dancing to Take Me Out To The Ball Game during the 7th inning stretch. The fireworks show afterwards was good too.

It's almost soccer season again and I am getting ramped up. I received an e-mail from the parent of a former player. Her daughter has decided that she wants to play soccer again and wants to be back on my team. I was thrilled when I got the message. She was one of our weaker players, but I feel really good that she wanted to come back and especially wanted to come back to my team.

My son wants to take up pee wee football. Try outs are next weekend. I'm scared to death, but I'm proud of him for giving it a shot.

I've now settled on a title for the film about my life story. It will tentatively be titled, "Suburban Pimp". I am thinking that when the beginning credits roll they will be accompanied by the Sugar Hill Gang's "Apache".

Dagromm said...

Cyber D - It would've been if I wasn't an innocent bystander victimized by the situation.

Susan said...

Sounds like you're about to hit the busy season again. I hope he makes it!

Slam dancing through the 7th inning stretch? What will you guys do during half time at the pee wee football games to top that?

Dagromm said...

Susan - Tragically, I've already mapped out the weekends for the remainder of the year and I am F'd. I hope he makes it to, I think.

Churlita - That's a pretty high standard to live up to. Glad to know all of that money on dance lessons wasn't wasted.

Cyber D said...

I love victimizing you!

Dagromm said...

Cyber D - You will not!!!! Ever again. Unless....y'know.

Tera said...

Okay Dagromm, I think you and Nina have had enough conversation and commonalities...

And uh duh...why WOULDN'T said girl want to be on your team? You ROCK as a coach!

Q said...

Tera, he really doesn't. He hasn't won a World Title or anything. When he was coaching my intramural 2 on 2 soggy biscuit team all he did was yell and make demands like "get on your knees maggot" and "That is not how you sop up the 'gravy' maggot". It was really quite a tumultuous time in my life thanks for bringing it up.

Tera said...

LOL! Sorry! And we have got to do something about this vast vocabulary or yours!!!

Have you finished the book yet? I need to talk with someone who's finished!!!
