This is a really powerful poem.  It makes me thankful for the great fathering I had as a kid. Thanks Pop.

Going Pink For October

Cancer has affected many people in my life. A few are survivors, true monuments of strength and inspiration. Many have not, and they left holes in our hearts and souls. Those people are dearly missed, and we hope they are watching over us from The Father’s left hand. That being said:

I’m a horrible blogger

In fact I’m only writing this blog because I’m testing out the MagPie RSS parser and it’s cacheing options for a new project. For more on MagPie check out the project at sourceforge .

The most productive day ever!

At least in a very long time!…

With Jamie being out of town this weekend I was left to my own devices.  I wasn’t too productive yesterday spending much more time watching sports(lacrosse and basketball) than doing any house work.  As a result I was determined to make today ridiculously productive around the new house.  And thanks to the gmail tasks I was able to keep it all organized.  Here’s what I accomplished:

  • Raked the leaves: That is front and back yard.  The backyard took nearly two and a half hours and probably encompasses nearly 30lbs of leaves and other natural debris that was removed from underneath the back deck.  Included in the findings, other than leaves was; a beer can, a red solo cup, a curler, a golf ball, and two 5 x 2.5 feet pieces of glass that were under about a quarter inch of dirt.
  • Bag the leaves: Only did the front, but the back is waiting tomorrow
  • Set up the lawn mower: That really wansn’t that difficult despite the MIL jumping ahead a couple steps more than once.
  • Mow the lawn: It had been a while, and was difficult to tell with the light grass, but it looks much better.
  • Hang the blinds in the guest room: This is half done.  I did one window and decided I needed to get started on the outside as I was staring into the front yard disaster for 25 minutes.  I’ll finish this up tomorrow too.  Parents are going to be our inaugural guests next weekend!
  • Do the laundry: That’s right ladies, without provocation I did this week’s laundry.  Don’t be too hard on your men!
  • Recruiting: I contacted a coach about some potential players for him and also contacted a couple players about what they planned to do in the future.  I’m pretty excited about this coming recruiting season and getting some of my boys lined up to play in college if they want to.
  • Organize the office: The smallest room in the house is mine to do with as I please!  I finished organizing and did the hanging that was possible.  Really starting to shape up.  Not liking that I’m going to have to make a choice between my printer and my second monitor.
  • Dinner with the in-laws: Even though Jamie was out of town I still popped by the in-laws for dinner.  I’m really blessed in this aspect as not only are they not psycho, they are down right awesome.  Shrimp and steak was also awesome.
  • Pick up wife: Best part of the weekend was picking up Jamie from the airport!
  • Blog: I was excited about all I did and I’m trying to be a better blogger, even if no one cares what I think/say/did/want/need/have/smell like(which can’t be good right now)!

Now I’m exhausted and will be calling it an early evening.

Bouncing back

It’s always difficult to take a bad loss. In my playing days I would meticulously pick through all the bad plays I had made, or hustle plays I missed. I would then strive to fix those same mistakes in the following days of practice.

As a coach I find it frustrating that I can only review and fix the decision I do or don’t make. And analyze the positions I put the players in to see how I might organize it different.

The greatest fault lies in that I can’t make the plays. When I make the right decision and the boys don’t execute all I can do is mark it down and plan to address it in practice. Hoping the drills I come up with will be enough to take a step in the right direction in fixing the issue.

It’s a fact in athletics that you’re gonna take your lumps. They key is never to stay down on the mat. No matter how hard you just got hit
