Normally, accidents suck. But from time to time, they work in your favor. Enter this past Friday - softball game, partly cloudy with sun every now and then. So, I needed my sunglasses while batting, but not in the field. So, bright old me hangs them half in, half out of the cooler bag I had packed. Eventually the sun went down, so I forgot about them. Fast forward to the end of the night, and we (wife, kids, and I) start pulling stuff together. *CRACK* The Mrs. looks down after picking up the cooler to bring back to the car, and finds my mangled sun

...otherwise God would have given us wings. Isn't that how the saying goes? I should listen to old adages more often. Why you ask - because I let my youngest talk me into going on Superman at Great Adventure last night, after a day of of sun at the park. I'm not a huge fan of rollercoasters, but I don't mind them all either. The only ones I can't stand are the 'traditional' coasters that give you that stomach-dropping sensation. That I can't stand. But I figured...8 year old begging Dad to go on with him, plus it's a steel coaster, so should be nice and smooth. Not too long of a wai

Corporate softball is a contact sport. At least that is what I found out last night, when an errant hop while fielding a routine ground ball at 3rd base jumped up and hit me square in the right nad. I doubled over like a folding chair, with the wind knocked out of me faster than if Mir opened up a can of whoopass on me. At least one thing came out of it positively - damn straight I'm wearing the cup to every future game I play!
