my grand jolly vacation

I didnt know I was going to have this vacation.
It didn't feel like a vacation because I didn't go anywhere
I still worked my regular job
I still worked for newspapers
I guess the only thing I didn't do was update my blog
So
Call it a blog vacation
I am sure all of my faithful followers want to know what I have been doing over the last few weeks so here we go.


I have spent a lot of time covering the Southeastern Regional Little League Tournament, which has produced a minimum amount of enjoyment and a lot of stress. The first week I was covering a the Warner Robins team , which was led by the Williams twins, the best set of Williams sisters in this area. They aren't up to Venus and Serena, but they are very  talented young ladies. Along with Avery Lamb , they led their team into the championship game, but they could not quite make it to the world series.
This week I have been freelancing for a newspaper in Virginia and covering the Virginia little league team. They are still in the tournament as of today and I have to be back in Warner Robins again today at 3pm. It has been a profitable few weeks, but I am ready for the almost daily trips to Warner Robins.
The Virginia newspaper is paying me for pictures also, which has been a total adventure. It just proves I will do almost anything for money. They are giving me 50 bucks for every picture they use, and out of the four games they have used two. I have probably taken 150 and sent them 30, but hey, two is two. so add it up. On a typical day like today I will leave here at 215, watch the game, talk to coaches and players, come home, write my story and will be done by 915 at the latest. They are paying me 50 bucks a story so hats 80 bucks a day for a seven hour day, I guess its not terrible, but I am ready for it to be over.
I am ready for football
Have a good day everyone
I will be back soon
