Happy Birthday πŸŽ‚ to a very special Lady πŸ‘© and wonderful Mother of two!

August 9th has always been a special day on the Calender for us and now it will have a second reason as today will end one very bizarre weeks in our 40+ years together.

If everything goes as planned, he will make it back to Laurel Fork after a lengthy stay at Duke University Medical Center.

For those of you that reached out during the past week, God Bless You πŸ™. Working on the book πŸ“– and the High Jump project provided a nice diversion !

#Throwback

Ladies and Gentlemen, the streak has reached 700 Days !!! The challenge is to put forth effort πŸ‘ to spread joy each and every day, regardless of one’s circumstances.

The writing ✍ on this site has been ongoing for almost two decades now but the streak part is still in year two. The self challenge is to make everyday a little bit better for someone by using words in a positive way.

Don’t know if it will see 800 or not but we will do our best !

Have a Blessed Day πŸ™ŒπŸ™

Today is Baseball ⚾️ Day in Salt Lake City as the Bees host the River Cats πŸˆ!!

Years ago, I completed the visit every Major League Baseball ⚾️ stadium 🏟 loop and thought that it would be fun to see how many of the AAA parks I could take in. There are 30 and they are spread across the country in second level cities.

Β  I am now just a handful shy and later today that number gets reduced by one as I take in a game upstate in Salt Lake City.

Β  The difference for me is that when I am at a park like the one tonight, its less about the game and more about the atmosphere and marketing aspect of things. What is taking place that night translate to a college game or a High School game?

I don’t know it for a fact but I believe that Howard Mayo and Casey Burcham are currently working on their versions of the MLB parks and if that’s the case, I would welcome hearing about it.

  My favorite thing about the game of Baseball ⚾️ is just how different every park is and what it means to the community it serves.

Salt Lake City !

Next up after SLC will be Albuquerque, New Mexico, home of the Isotopes. Between now and then I will research what an Isotope is….
