Brian and Shawn

According to my spreadsheet, I have been running the Oaklyn Little League Snack Stand since 2009.  So that means, on 4/1/2022, when I went to the BJs Wholesale store with Brian Cole, it was the 13th time we had done so together (remember, we did not go in 2020 - dang Covid).  And, as he has for the last decade or so, Shawn Fore accompanied as well.  This is why tonight's Two For 2022 are Brian and Shawn.  I mean these guys coached my girls in softball, and are true friends.  Who else can I count on when I send a text and say "hey, can we shop for the Snack Stand next Friday?"  Well, we did add Corbin Roth to our excursion tonight and thanks to Anna and Sarah for coming up and unloading with us.  But, tonight, the focus is on my appreciation for my friends who no longer have any kids in the league, but are always willing to lend their hands (and their trucks) for our setup tasks.  THANKS!

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

Image
What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
