Kids

  Sometimes I wonder what some parents do to raise their kids. My neighbors had a bunch of kids over for a slumber party and I could not believe how some of these kids behaved. Now I'm not saying that my kids are the best (they are), but the attitudes and manners of some kids are amazing. They had no manners or were bossy towards others and then complained about not getting their way. Do these parents just let their kids run the house? I know at mine that is not the case. Have parents forgoten about dicipline or are they scared about what others will say? The way I see it is like this, a spanking worked for my grandfather on his kids and it worked for my dad on his two. Heck I have the belt, that my grandfather used on his kids and then my dad used on us, hanging in my garage. Kids don't deserve a beating, but if mine do something that they know is wrong a smack on the hand is a good reminder not to do that again. 
 

Life with Automatic Begins

Well started playing softball this weekend with Team Auto. To say that I was pressing would be a huge under statement. The guys on the team kept reassuring me that I had nothing to worry about. Still, starting with a new team, in an NIT, batting lead-off, and playing the 5 man I was a little uneasy. I know they know I can play the game and I look forward to proving myself to these guys over the next few months. We have a good team and should make some serious noise.

Funny though the difference between this team and the last team is night and day. With this team you know everyone is going to be there and ready to play. It is nice to show up early before a tourney and take some bp and then a few ground balls. Boy do I need to take infield practice. Not the fact tat I don't know where to go, but just the repetition of taking ground balls. After playing the outfield for so long with spot opportunities in the infield I am a little rusty. Over time and practice though that will change.

All in all first tourney and I made it to Sunday. Been a while since I have made it to a Sunday. Team record for the weekend was 3-2. Not bad, but if we hit we are definitely not 3-2. Should be a fun next 3 months.
