not too many crazy folks from Cali move to NW Iowa small towns

So I've got that going for me, which is nice

Spending the weekend with my wife’s family in Tennessee.  My 12 yo nephew hit two homers and threw a no hitter in his last travel ball game. He asked me to catch him a little this evening.

I’m used to catching my daughter who plays softball.  When you are used to that the baseball looks like a golf ball.  I was having trouble picking up the ball out of his hand. It didn’t help that he’s now throwing his fastball about 75mph.  He bounced a curve ball into the top of my foot which bruised and  swelled up pretty quickly. I told his dad afterwards I probably should at least put on a mask to catch him now but I don’t want to give him the satisfaction.

That reminds me of my youth when my uncle in Tenn. heard I pitched and wanted to catch me.  I was 12, I think, and could wing it pretty good, and he was 50ish.  He kind of had the same sort of experience.  I could throw a massive lazy breaking curve ball that batters back then would bail on every time.  My dad wouldn't catch me when I hit 12.

I didn't have great accuracy.

In other good news, we got word that Fantasy Camp is on for January.  "GMac", who runs the operation, sent the previous attendees an email yesterday for signups, he would have sent that out in April.  He said he had over 80 people asking to sign up but is giving us first shot as promised.  It made me happy.

I had been running etc. to stay in half decent shape anyway, now I can believe we will proceed.  I can't throw very hard at all now, but I can still hit pretty well at this level of pitching.  On our team last year, I was one of few who could still run on the last day, all the young guys nearly had muscle pulls to one degree or another.

The wife enjoys this as well.

The Peachtree Road Race has been delayed to November for obvious reasons.  It's a 10K, I might give it a shot, from the back.  I understand over 50,000 participate, so maybe a lot of folks walk the entire length.

I imagine my legs would be jelly right now after 10 K.  My routine is around 5 K, and I'm off that because of a slight hamstring issue.

Gonna throw three slabs of baby backs on the smoker today. Just us and the kids, so we'll have leftover ribs for lunch on Monday :72:

The wife said her cholesterol blood count was high, so she's wanting to avoid it in her diet (I explained how this often doesn't help).  Anyway, that basically means I am on a Low C diet as well.  I have a hankering for a big A Porterhouse from our local butcher shop and a nice  bottle of vino.  She also says she's not drinking any more except for special occasions (this usually last a few days and then every day is viewed as being special.  I am trying to help, Thursday night I had zero alcohol, but last night I had some wine.

Maybe I'll get some thick pork chops, I like that about as well as steak.

Gundy takes a $1,000,000 pay cut. All for wearing a t-shirt on a fishing trip. Lol. 

I’m not feeling sorry for the guy, don’t get me wrong he’s still making plenty of money and college coaches are way overpaid anyway in my book. But that’s neither here nor there. The world we are living in right now is truly insane.

I would not be shocked if the AD and Gundy concocted this pay cut to serve as his contrition etc., knowing that in a couple years when all this abates, he will be made whole....

There often are what some call "back room deals" that take place to generate a desired public perception.
