Much ado about nothing

It's been quite a while since I updated my blog. Life just seems to get away from me and leaves little time for the inconsequential. We spent the weekend in Ft. Wayne for the big Labor Day Mennonite softball tournament. We didn't fare quite as well as we would have liked, but we had a great time. I'm still a little sore from playing six games in two days. I'm definately not 22 anymore. This was Caedon's first trip and he did really good. He only fussed when he was hungry or messed and was much better behaved than certain other kids that went along. I could be biased, but I'm pretty sure we have the cutest kid on the planet.


Apart from the majority of my time devoted to Caedon, Melissa and work around the house, I have been able to spend a little bit of time reading and vegging. I just finished a collection of short stories by Stephen King and I'm currently working through another short story collection by one of my favorite fantasy authors. I'm still reading The Fellowship of the Ring to Caedon, although it's been a couple of weeks since we've cracked the cover. I can't wait for football to start later this week and I was quite pleased with the Buckeyes play on Saturday. If only the Browns could do so well. I don't have much sympathy for Brad or Casey when they bemoan the Cardinals pitching and play in general. Try being an Indians fan. Hey guess what, since we have no shot at the playoffs, we'll start playing really good. There's always next year I suppose.

The History Channel has got to have the best programming on TV. They've got a new series this year called Lost Worlds. The just of the show is that they use computer modeling and other modern technologies to recreate what ancient structures would have looked like in their hey day. Along with the impressive visuals is a ton of historical data about the buildings their covering. Last night, the show was about Vlad Tepes' castles in present day Romania. He is the real life tyrant that Bram Stoker based Dracula on. I was entranced.

To follow the recent trend, if you care to, leave a comment and let me know how you get to my blog.
