So, many of you know that I coach a high school baseball team. We aren't very good, but we go out and try and we got progressively better as the season went on. This is my second year as a head coach, and it doesn't get any easier. This year we were 8-21, which was an improvement over last year. We got some good players and we have a kid that, if he puts in the work, is going to be special - so much so that he was the MVP this year as a Freshman.
We had our regional championship this weekend (for those of you readers that are out of state, or used to other formats, in most parts our regionals would be equivalent to your sectionals) and we lost 9-7. I won't bore you with the minutia of the game other than the bomb my CF hit onto Michigan Ave to get us within 2. lord knows we got close, but couldn't get over the hump. I wanted to win so badly, but it wasn't to be. I finish this year knowing that my 7 seniors are in the top 12 in their class and all are going to good schools next year.
see ya around campus

About a dozen shy now
So, As readers of this blog know, it started out as my journal of my weight loss trip. That stated out as a bet between my fraternity brothers and I on who could lose the most weight (percentage) by our biannual convention last year. I lost. but not by much, but it helped me start to work on getting fit. I joined a gym, I stopped eating McDonalds and pretty much gave up pop and beer. That got me to lose all of 10 lbs. I was pissed. But, i'm happy to report that I have, since 1/15/08 lost 46 lbs. That rocks.
What have I been doing? Well, i'm been eating less and also trying to work out at least 3x/week. I don't always succeed, but i don't let that little setback get in the way of my goal. I've got a long way to get to where I want to be (not shopping in big/tall stores), but I think that I can get there, and without the surgeon's scalpel. As always, I thank my friends and my family for their support, and for Olivia's biting comments that make me go to the gym (Daddy, you're the biggest Brown Bear I've ever seen...)
