Softball and the Bethel Complex


On the 186th day of 2022 I was reunited with a familiar place.  Yes, my Two for 2022 for 7/5/2022 is softball and the Bethel Complex.  Merchantville Pennsauken Little League is hosting the Section 4 Tournament for Little League (Majors, U12) Softball and my Mustangs Manager (the team for which I was a Bench Coach), Bob, asked me to do the Announcing and keep the Scorebook.  Well, I said yes because, although I have a TON of work, this gets me out of my house, away from my computer, in the fresh air and doing something I love.... watching softball.  It was great on the Opening Night of the Tournament.  It's just so refreshing to watch kids enjoy the game, win or lose, to hear the cheers, to watch the players dancing to my in-between inning music selections.  I still have a TON of work, but I am so glad Bob asked me to help and I am even happier that I said yes!

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...
