couple weeks ago
A couple weeks ago, we had a blizzard that dumped a huge amount of snow in Lehigh Valley, PA. Here are a couple videos from the storm. I love when the snow is really deep like this. It's ashame that we don't get storms like this more often. I would love to have at least one storm a year drop at lest 18+ inches of snow on us. :) I don't have a new video of Chance running around in the snow, but ...

I love idiots
Unlike the 'idiot' in the image to the right, I love the true idiots our there that think because they have 4 twitter accounts with different names. Do these idiots think they are really 'out smarting' everyone, because they post the same thing to 4 different accounts at the same exact time.WTF!!! why waste bandwidth? These people are a waste of good air and food. Heck the food these idiots ea...
Snowy and sloppy
Boy, it was sloppy getting to work today. :( Wanted to write a little about the State of the Union from last night. Overall, I will say it seems that the Pres. Obama is trying. I think his mind is in the right spot (ie saying people have lost faith in our gov't - call it the way you see it) The problem is that Obama and all others elected to Washington, need to change. It's not the American peo...

long weekend ahead

We have a long weekend of playing softball this weekend. Looking to rip up the league and come home with another trophy. :)
We have been very successful in the past few years.
have 4 games left in the Wednesday night league and then that tournament. Although Big Daddy Softball is not as big as we once were. :(
Plenty of video to come from the tournaments, unless I can extort some money from someone withthe videos.

two nights in a row

Posted By: bdog on July 10, 2009 in me raw - Comments: Comments Off

We lost to the #1 team in both the leagues I play in, 2 nights in a row. I guess if you are going to lose, it should be to a team that is better than you are. I’m not saying I like or accept losing, but if I have to lose, I’d rather it be to a team that is better.
Last weekend’s party was awesome, such a late post, because the recovery/clean up process just took too long. Well that and I play softball and game too much. Damn, where do I find the time to work 2 jobs??? I just dunno. Oh, I forgot, I gotta find time for my wife too. Geez, can a guy catch a break?

Big Daddy Softball on a roll

Posted By: bdog on June 25, 2009 in me raw - Comments: Comments Off

Big Daddy Softball is on a roll. we’ve won 5 of 6 and have 4 wins in a row. With this current streak we doubled our wins for the season. Guess that’s what getting off to a bad start will do. :)

But the team is playing awesome defense and we’re smacking the sh!t outta the ball on offensive.  I also noticed, i’m the #1 result for Big Daddy Softball on google. Yipppeeee! Well we only have a about 5 weeks of ball left to play, it’s amazing how fast it goes by, especially with all the working I’ve been doing. Hoping to help sponsor the team next year, that’d be awesome.

Tonight we have the renegades for my coed league, we’re doing pretty well in that league. #3 in the standings. Not too bad, considering we had to play 3 games with only 9 fielders. Heck, one game was 5 -2…in slow pitch softball.

This is the fun stuff, in my otherwise extremely busy summer. Just wish sometimes that there was more time in the day, but realise if there was, i’d be working more. :(

Iron Pigs game was awesome

was at the Iron Pigs game with @Sandieman (http://www.viddler.com/sandieman). Great time. Rob’s first minor league game experience. It was kinda cool seeing his reaction to the seats we had.
Iron Pigs kicked butt. Great fielding (especially to end the game, WOW what a catch).
back to the groove of things tonight with softball, team is on a roll and getting hot!

First full week of softball

Posted By: bdog on May 1, 2009 in me raw - Comments: No Comments »

The first full week of softball (3 days) is over. We went 1-2 and will finish the last game at a date to be determined (we were winning 13-12).  I can’t complain, I was 3 for 7, with 6 rbi and 2 sac flys. I do have to stop driving the ball, there are no fences on most fields we play on, so the defenders just back up when I come to bat. Line-drives up the middle, back at the pitcher, through the box.

The good thing is I feel great, I’ve started to run on the side. Hoping to make it through the whole season without getting hurt/injuried. As the years pass, it is getting more difficult to keep up with the guys that are 22, 23. But I’ll push them harder then most people do, I like to show up the younger guys. ;)
Here is some videos of the Big Daddy Softball team:


I’ll def be posting more videos as the year goes on.

Work is going awesome, Viddler is a great company. Earlier this week, one of our cats got out and I went home to help my wife look for our ‘lil buddy. I was home for about 2.5 hours when we found the lil guy.  But the company, really is great, they let me make up the hours and were very supportive in letting me have the time to take care of personal issues. This is the picture perfect situation of how companies can have corporate responsibility aimed at helping and promoting employee wellness.
