So Tommy's baseball season starts Friday.  The regular league he's in is a little too watered down IMO, so I got him on an 8U select team in addition to his regular team.  He's never played before, but the coach let him on the select team after he tried out.  Anyway his Friday game is with his 8u team and the coach is going to have him pitch.  Poor kid's gonna get shelled :D

I thought he was older than 8. Or if it's grade 8 that you'd have had him playing for years.   :hmm:

My son is 5. I went to register him for Kindergarten today. Holy shit it was weird to be inside an Elementary School again after...um...a long time.

There were posters saying stuff like 'win-win' and 'synergize' on the walls so I can see he will definitely be prepared for the corporate world :bleeding:  :lol:

The thing that struck me when I first went into my kid's elementary school is that it smells exactly the same as my elementary school smelled-- musty books and pencil wood/graphite.

Probably not as many smelly kids as mine had, though.

Teddy Roosevelt really enjoyed those series.

Teddy had no home state pride, just like Benedict Arnold?  :hmm:

I'm pretty sure Theodore Roosevelt wasn't from Michigan.   :P
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
