Meagan’s new team is headed to Portage WI for the USCA Junior Womens National Championship! Philadelphia’s FOX 29 took notice and stopped by to interview the team.

We took a flight to Dallas, this Thanksgiving, to see the relations. It was much colder then we anticipated, but the spicy food kept us warm! We ate far too much of it, but how could we not? It was fantastic. Even though Sam and I are still recovering from the peppers and onions, he is already complaining that our salsa is now too bland!

Meg’s team (the Gators) also finished up their season today. Though, they faired slightly better then the Tsunami - they were undefeated!

Kate’s team, the Tsunami, played their last game today. It was a season that was marred slightly in controversy - but hopefully the league will learn from their mistakes, and do a better job of balancing teams in the future. That aside, I had a wonderful time coaching the 13 great ladies that made up the team. Go Tsunami!

We went to Linvilla Orchard on Sunday to get some pumpkins - it was all you could carry for $19.99. I must admit that I was pretty impressive single handedly carrying 3 giant pumpkins (1 for each kid) and a little one for added affect!

We’re headed North to Wellington ON to meet family, take in a Dukes game (or two), celebrate Thanksgiving, and generally eat far too much! Happy Holidays!

To Kel, my wife of 15 years! Here’s to 15 more!

Have a safe, and happy, 4th of July everyone!

Kate, Kel, Dad and myself took in a ball game this afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. It was hot, the Phillies played well, and with seats 5 rows back from 1st base we had a great time!

“On June 20, 1868, a proclamation signed by the Governor General, Lord Monck, called upon all Her Majesty’s loving subjects throughout Canada to join in the celebration of the anniversary of the formation of the union of the British North America provinces in a federation under the name of Canada on July 1st.”

And:

“On October 27, 1982, July 1st which was known as “Dominion Day” became “Canada Day”.”
