Heavy D takes in some College Baseball...

So last night my wonderful son Daniel joined me for some college baseball.  About once or twice a year, my Stephen F. Austin State University Lumberjacks come to town for a game.  We missed the game against the University of Houston, but caught the game at Rice University.  Unfortunately, Rice is ranked about 15th in the country and gave my visiting institution a good ole fashioned butt kikkin', blanking us for a 6-0 win.

Daniel and I made it through the 7th inning before taking our leave.  It is a school night after all!  But we did manage to enjoy ourselves with cheeseburgers and peanuts.  And ran into several folks I knew, including a couple of customers and a colleague I worked with years ago.  It just goes to show you can network just about anywhere!


Daniel said he had a great time and that's all that really matters to me.  It is so much fun watching him grow into a quality young man and enjoying a ballgame with his Dad.

A sign of the times...

I usually reserve this blog space for family events, trivial fashion nuggets, food ideas and other erstwhile readable drivel, but this picture I stole from a Facebook friend piqued my interest.  And it is fashion oriented!


I will be really pleased when this fad moves along much the way parachute pants, coaches shorts and other teenage fashion tidbits vanished.  Little do the kids today who don this irregular trouser position know that they will look back one day and say, "Holy Crap, what was I thinking?"  Now if we could just abolish fanny packs altogether I could sleep through the night!
