Dedicated to the 2 would-be gunshot wound victims who walked into a house that was not Julie's in the middle of the night and lived to tell about it

This Is My Lucky Day

I really should be packing but no one is here to make me...

This article is pretty interesting. The author thinks that it doesn't matter how you parent your kids, the way they turn out is dependent on their genetics, and now I am going to go beat my children.

Thanks in advance, plus warning

I am really excited about everyone coming to Yorktown, and I am super appreciative to those who will be helping me with this move. I also want to apologize if there are any sightings of a she-devil in my house this weekend. She is not invited, but she may make an appearance nonetheless. You may be acquainted with her already. I just hope the brand new sister-in-law does not have to encounter her. (Juella De Vil)

Choosing Life

In the 2010 Draft, the Brewers #1 pick was a RHP from a high school in California named Dylan Covey. "In his senior season, Covey went 7-1 with a 0.40 ERA and three saves with 138 strikeouts compared to 20 walks in 70 2/3 innings pitched for Maranatha High School." Extremely solid numbers. Could be another Gallardo.

There was an interesting tidbit buried in this story about Covey. Apparently, Dylan has 2 older brothers. Dylan's mom was going to stop having kids after her first 2 sons and so she got a hysterectomy. Dylan wasn't supposed to have been born. For reasons not explained in the story, Dylan's mom had the procedure reversed. She gave birth to Dylan on July 19, 1991, and now he is headed to the major leagues with a $1.7 million signing bonus and a very promising future (assuming he signs, which he is expected to do).
