Fantastic weekend all around. Among the highlights The Colts broke out for 26 runs (!) on Saturday afternoon to run their winning streak to five games.
For the record: the only ones to keep score of games/wins are the kids.
Z Dog continued his hot streak at the plate, going 5-5, with two RBI's and two runs scored. He's currently working a 6 game hitting streak and by my math, is batting in excess of .400.
And for the record: the only one keeping tab of Z's at bats is moi.
Actually, the fact of the matter is old Z Dog is -- how do I eloquently put this -- let's just say he's probably not one of the Colt's biggest stars. But, for a kid who's never before played baeball and is by far the smallest kid on the team (if not the league) he's worked really hard this season, has practiced nearly every day, is having a ton of fun and I could not not be prouder of him. And I have to say, as a dad, there's nothing, and I mean nothing, greater than attending your son's little league games. I'd sincerely rather be at a Colt's game than game 7 of the Yankees in the World Series. Ok, that's not exactly true, but you get my point. While on the subject, by the way, I am *very* concerned about the Yankees. I'll save that subject for another day.
The subject of dad's, little league and baseball is probably a good segue to welcome Wilson Zolla to the world. Your debut has made your dad the happiest man in the world, Wilson. Only thing is, between your crazy father and grandfather, let's just say there's a tad bit of pressure on you to go to Michigan. However, I suspect you'll get at least a week's pass before you start feeling the pressure. Can't wait to meet you, little man. And congrats Bill and Gabi.
Last night April and I had a fantastic dinner in SF. We both are dismayed that we don't spend enough time in the City, and were glad that we experimented a bit and forced ourselves to go out in the City. This morning, the Solomon's, along with four other couples, met at Mount Tam and hiked 2 miles out to the West Point Inn for a pancake breakfast. We did this twice last year, and it's always a super fun time. This afternoon, April allowed me to break away for a quick swim (made it through 40 minutes of continuous swim!) and this evening, we had three of our great friends -- The Hughes, Christenens, and Simpsons --along with eight kids (!) in total, over for mother's day BBQ.
But the highlight of my weekend is seen in the attached. All of you who know April, know that she would NEVER wear a shirt like this unless she meant it. It might have taken 18 months, but she's finally come clean. Definitely the highlight of my day.
That's it for tonight. Long, but excellent day.
