summer time blues

Since the last time I have blogged, I have celebrated an anniversary, a birthday, been on a mini-vacation, and covered a state championship game. 

I will attempt to write a little bit on each.

I will tell you that blogging in the summer is harder because things arent really happening for people to read. I need a new audience.

Plus, I am struggling without Jamie Dickey.

I have now been married for 30 years, which is amazing for one fact only and that is the honesty that I found someone that will put up with me for 30 years. I know its not easy to put up with me. To tell you the truth, I am moody and my mind wanders. My folks at work know that too. I truly believe I have ADD and have had it since I was young. I just don't seem to be able to sit still and my mind like goes through all these creative thoughts and I want to act on them.

My wife and I went to Myrtle Beach for four days to celebrate and we had a good time, but I will say that Myrtle Beach is not Florida in any way shape or form. I will say that we will never go back, but we made the best of it. I thought a beach was a beach but a beach is not a beach when its an ugly beach and the town around it had 47 putt putt places and 36 all you can eat seafood places. And to think I only had 14 of them. SMH.

I did have some interesting new experiences. I went to a Brazilian steakhouse which was like the most amazing thing I have ever done. I mean folks bringing me meat every five seconds is fairly amazing. I would however, not make it your first meal after being on a diet for 55 days. OH MY GOD, a poor choice indeed.

I will  also say that Cory Bartholomew is the most amazing high school baseball player in Macon. He is amazing because he is basically the average Joe who has made the most out of his talents. Cory willed himself  and his Tattnall Square Trojans to a state championship. He gets the win in the first game with a complete game, an amazing fact to start with considering he had another complete game four days before and he threw 145 pitches in that one. I though he would be toast in the championship game because, well he was due to get ripped with the kid of load he had shouldered. Nope a complete game which he grinded all the way. So Tattnall leads the series 1-0 and Cory makes three errors in the next game because he is exhausted and it probably coast his team a win. So they go to game three and Logan Simmons pitches a shutout in his only game on the mound this year and Cory goes yard twice and the Trojans win. Cory Bartholomew just wont lose.
