I won’t be at work today…

This is what a friend of mine just pulled out of his lake. Stupid responsibilities and commitments called “work”!

Hook, Line and Sinker!

A friend just pulled this out of his lake this weekend. Boys, I believe it’s time to go fishing!

Unassisted Triple Play in MLB

Asdrubal Cabrera achieved what’s only been done 13 other times in the the history of MLB. The unassisted triple-play.

My son is playing his first year of baseball and asked me how a team could get a triple-play and I told him about how runners needed to be on base and the ball gets hit to the right person who then throws it to the other bases perfectly.

I didn’t even think about how in the world a single player could accomplish the task all by himself.

See the video Asdrubal Cabrera’s amazing feat on MLB.com

Why in the world MLB and ESPN don’t allow you to embed their videos I don’t know. They could add some advertisements to pre-trailer and still make their money, all the while expanding their exposure to even more Internet users.

In other baseball news, a Florida State player, Buster Posey, played every single position and hit a grand-slam in a game this week. Pretty impressive I’d say. Hopefully there were some pro scouts there at the game.

Heading to Buckeye Land This Weekend

This weekend I’ll be heading to Columbus, OH with my 8 year old son who’s a HUGE Ohio State Buckeye’s fan.

We’ll be attending the Annual Spring Game at the horseshoe that happens after each spring practice session.

My collegiate alma mater is just north of Columbus and this time of year is beautiful on campus. I’m thinking I may have to take a quick visit up there as well. I’ve also got some other friends in the area. Maybe I should plan on going longer than just Saturday.

Hmmmm….must think more on this topic.

It’s March Madness Time

march-madness-2008

Are you at the office? Are you at this office? This is my office and we’ll be watching some basketball over the next couple of weeks.

Please forgive the badly stitched together photos but wanted to give some idea of the panoramic shot from my desk.

It’s nice having a digital projector and a nice blank space (where the whiteboard was) on the wall to get a nice, large diagonal picture size.

Don’t worry, I’m not at risk of losing employment. That’s the boss across the desk from me.

Will you be skipping some "billable hours" to watch March Madness.
