Valentine Day 2013

Here we are half way through the shortest month of the year....

Garry and I headed to Van Wert last night for a hour long Rules Meeting for the coming baseball season, tonight back at basketball.  Guess I should say, this afternoon, back to basketball.  I have the first two games of the 7th Grade Boys Tournament this after...four games in total here in Celina today, I have the first at 4pm and the second which follows a few minutes after the end of the opener.  Tomorrow and Saturday I will be at Spencerville both nights for JV Boys games.

Temperatures today in the mid 40s, then the bottom will drop out for the weekend, the high Saturday will not reach past the mid 20s, but it should be back in the 40s for early next week...crazy weather this February usually brings.

After the baseball meeting last night, I got home in time to watch my favorite college basketball team Duke play their arch-rivals from UNC...at home the 2nd ranked Blue Devils came from down early to win by 5...frankly not an impressive game, if the Tar Babies had hit their free throws they probably would have been the victors.

Patricia is still battling her cold/bronchitis/pneumonia, or whatever...she still is at school, says she needs to get the kids tested, meanwhile she did go to the doc yesterday afternoon, and then off to the Coldwater Hospital for chest x-rays to see just how congested she is.  I believe the school is off tomorrow and Monday for President's Day, giving her a chance to rest and recover.

Can you tell I'm stretching for things to write about?

I could make political points about the Idiot-In-Chief and his "State of Despair" speech, but why bother?  It is fun to watch the political pundits on the left mocking anybody, like Mario Rubio, that dare challenge the Kenyan Bastard Child and his Marxist Manifesto for Change.  I have come to despise anybody on the left, or those that support this useless son of a bitch, that's not really worth the increase in Blood Pressure.  There did I make it clear what I think about our Kenyan and Thief?

Politics be dammed, I've got other things to deal with...

Our coming mini reunion at Dayton has now 50 attendees on the list....who would have thunk that?  If everybody shows, we will surprise out numbers{about 45} that came for a day trip on that frigid January 31st, back in 2009....this thing is getting almost too big for me to handle by myself, but lucky I have several people helping me with the details.  This one should be one to remember, and that is a good thing, because we are losing people almost weekly for the larger, well funded VSPA Group.  This year March 8, 9, 10, are the dates at the Hope Hotel:

and the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson:

Again this year, plenty of Beer and BS will be found....should be a great time.

That's the short and sweet of it for now...

back later>>>>

Photos-It will be good to get back outside for baseball, the first scrimmage work begins when I return for the upcoming Sky Cop Reunion at Dayton...not much going on at my "work" desk this morning...the juices just are not flowing forth....Me and my buddy Wayne DeZarn, after 19 months as a civilian contractor in Afgahnistand, Wayne is back in the Dayton area, for now....hopefully for him and family he won't have to go back to that Hell Hole....and the Green County folks and Bob Griffith came up with a poster and name badges off some of the photos I sent to them, here is the poster below, and some of our group back in 2011:  Leave it to me to stand beside 6'7" Big Sam Lewis and look like the runt of the litter....
