  1. Moneyball - I really enjoyed this. had it for a long time and finally watched it
  2. double header tonight. We win both, first by the score of 8-3 and the 2nd by 9-5.
  3. here comes the boom - found it watchable so not a total waste of time Jack Reacher - liked this quite a bit but not one that I think I would rewatch very often Lawless - liked this one too but again not sure It would have very many rewatches from me
  4. fell asleep for this at the drive-in. awful film
  5. why does it feel like I've seen this one?
  6. rewatched about 2/3 of Tucker and Dale vs. Evil yesterday morning while trying to unwind and go to sleep. Been on graveyard shift all week doing resets.
  7. very proud again tonight as we played the team that put the 11-0 whipping on us a couple weeks ago. We still lost but it was 12-7 plus my daughter pulled a double play by catching a pop-up and throwing the girl out as she tried to get back to first. they played really good and have improved a lot.
  8. couldn't be more proud of the girls. we took a 14-1 win tonight and turned 2 double plays in the process. Then it was on to Dairy Queen for an ice cream celebration.
  9. Well, after 9 days between games due to weather, we play today. We go back to the team that gave us our first loss of the season 13-12. I have a feeling it won't be that close this time. Our girls are going to be too rusty I'm afraid. Over half our team are 1st graders so the team is very young and this layoff is going to really hurt. Oh, and the really bad part about this week, I'm on graveyard shift this week so it is no rest for me and I'm already sleepy
  10. Reign Over Me - I thought it was a really good movie. very slow at first but it gets going and is very heart felt
  11. Winner! Every last one of them has made a career in music as a singer... while not being able to sing worth a damn. They all have horrific voices, and some of them are completely tone deaf. Some might be excellent songwriters or performers in other aspects, but none of them should ever have been put in front of a microphone. that's kind of subjective though. it is like someone saying Michael Sweet doesn't have a good vocal because they don't like his style
  12. Why would you do that to yourself? is it really that bad? There aren't enough words to describe just what a waste of time the film is ... Blimey......... I know, I know ... I really shouldn't sit on the fence ... Is it really that grim..... Hm ... if you haven't seen the original film, then you might enjoy it ... but I have, and I didn't. The re-make is all a little too 'gung-ho' and jingoistic for my liking - now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy a 'good vs evil/put your common sense on hold/give the bad guys a good kicking' film as much as the next man, but the remake has lost a lot of the 'humanity' that the original film had ... plus, with this version, I found that I really didn't care if the heroes of the piece lived or died. In fact, I found myself hoping that some of them would meet an untimely end before the credits rolled ... watched this today and it isn't bad. I did enjoy it and didn't feel like a waste of time
  13. long 2 days. last night had to go play a "seeding game" to find out where we get put in the first Tournament we play this year. We lost and were put into the silver bracket. To be honest we should have won that game. that loss is on the coaches. we have to be more aggressive and not try to be "mr nice" at these things. We had 13 hits to their 6 but we lost 3-2. we played the 8:00pm seeding game last night which wasn't over till 9:30. This moring we had our first game at 11:00am. when we got to the field I looked at how the bracket shakes out and my comments to the other coaches "we can make a lot of noise in this bracket" Well, at the day unfolded and one win turned into two wins we are in the Silver Bracket finals. a game we could have won but didn't. they make more plays in the field than we did but our team is loaded with 1st graders, 6 year olds that are playing up in age and even my 8 year old was tuckered out and just didn't play good that last game. So we finshed runner up in the silver backet and #4 in the whole tournament out of 16 teams. gotta say I'm pretty proud of the girls. I'm a bit jealous that we have to move up to the 9-10 year old group next year because this group is just so young and are going to grow so much over the next couple years.
  14. well, tonight we had a game against probably the best team we will see outside a tournament. we got beat 0-11. their infield was just amazing. they only had a couple big hitters though. they just won a tourney last weekend so i think we held in there pretty good for 4 practices and 4 games. Talking to their coach they had like 16 practices before the season and they still practice during the season. our girls just didn't hit it good enough to get by their infield. We did get a couple over to 3rd base but couldn't push any runs in.
  15. Great film! I still have never seen it
  16. New Year, 2013 and here we are again. before the season started I again said I was done coaching. I want to watch my girl play ball and not worry about all the other kids, just sit back and enjoy how my daughter is playing. Well, from the get go when we were called by the coach (acutally the coaches wife and my first girlfriend) she was asking what size Kenzie wears. what they wore last year and asking what they should wear ths year. Then she states to tell me about the other coaches and their schedule and asked If I could help out. So this year it is full blown coaching. so far we are 3-1 and looking good. got a good test tonight before we start a tourney tomorrow night and Saturday. The coach hasn't coached softball till this year. he did do 3 years of T-ball so it has been a learning curve. I finally got him to give my girl a chance in the pitcher spot. That is the position she played all last year and she did great. only one ball got by her in the last game and we actually got 2 outs from her throwing them out at 3rd and could have 2 more. I didn't push hard for her to be in that position because I didn't want it to look like I wanted her to be in a prime spot but after watching her play there I think they all agreed it was the best we played all year in the field. We have our 3rd base covered with the right girl now. still a little shaky at 1st but hoping with tonight we make the right move. Catcher is iffy. Short Stop, I have an idea on what I want to try there and 2nd base it still iffy. our girls are really hitting great. our worst batter is batting .400. here is a link a our scorekeeper has set up for everyone. I don't have the ID and password for the full access though but it is pretty cool. it makes a write up based on the stats he puts in. http://www.gamechanger.io/t/summer-2013/norton-ll-7-8-yr-old-lady-raiders-517689c00c27594856a66110/news
  17. I like the Black Eyed Susan album. I like it much more now that I did when I first got it. I would like the hear this cd, I bet I would really like it
  18. the one consitant band that I've bought from the internet has been AddrianGale
  19. this was a great concert. Seen this tour at Lincoln Memorial University back in the day. good time, great girl friend at the time got us the tickets as that was where she was in college at. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmVBF3giZ3w

  21. Tomorrow, When the War Began - pretty much the Australian version of Red Dawn. not a bad movie and a cute cast Stranger Than Fiction - the serious Will Ferrel movie
