THURSDAY NIGHT WRAP

I Love Thursdays.......
Know why? Yup! One day closer to Friday.

Now that the summer is here it is going to be the last day at the house until Sunday night at 7pm. Fridays are a wonderful time, I actually enjoy going to work on Fridays and getting everything done and watching the clock until it hits 5pm. Into the car and off to Thomaston. When i hit the entrance to route 9 i know i am almost there and it is time to kick back and relax. Most people take a week of and go somewhere tropical or that they have never been before, but me, I got the place where i am most comfortable. Hanging out in the sticks of Connecticut (Yes we have wooded area's in CT, ALOT of them) enjoying a late night fire and cooking steaks, potato's and corn on the cob.
(Well I did make someone an offer to go to Punta Cana but I am pretty sure I got turned down. Married. Nuff said.)
After I quit drinking and started actually taking care of my body the woods became a refuge for me. It's not really the WOODS.. We have the 30ft trailer parked at a camp site with about 50 other trailers. But no one really bothers anyone else unless you need help with something and actually ask for it. Anyway, I started working out at this little gym and also mountain biking during the evening and taking the bike to the store and around town. Now when I take my vacation I spend about 10 straight days up there. Here is how the days are going to go.
Wake up.
Eat.
Go to the gym.
Come back and relax.
Go fishing.
Take a bike ride.
Take a nap.
Eat.
Go back to the gym.
Came back and relax.
Eat.
Go fishing.
Build a fire.
Take an afternoon ride.
Sit and relax while making smores.
Go to sleep.
All that between the hours of 7am and 11pm.
Sound good? You bet your ass it does.

The weather just hit the 70's......
I got a call from my mountain bike this morning and it is ready to go. There comes a point during every season that you just know it's that time of the year.....
How do you know?

Baseball really starts getting going.....
Like the Yankee's and Red Sox going into back to back series. Yankee's beat up on the Sox and then the Sox return the favor. Speaking of the Red Sox, when the hell did they pick up Sean Casey from Detroit? How did I miss that trade? Was I in North Carolina? Did this just happen when i was in New Mexico? He looks good in a Sox uniform, Still has the high leg kick to get himself jacked up.
A-Rod is off to a hot start, So is Manny. Speaking of Manny....
This is a contract year for him and he is off to one of the best starts he has had since he was in Cleveland. I think it is because he wants to be put into the same category and people who are in the Hall Of Fame now. He has had some of the best years of his career in Boston. Helped them win tow World Series rings (Two, Count them.) I think he want to be one of the big 3 up here in the eastern states. Right now the THREE is...
#1 - Brady
#2 - A-Rod / Jeter
#3 - Garnett / Peirce / Allen
Schilling is no longer in the conversation because he has not pitched in like two years. Does he still do the http://www.38pitches.com/ blog? I have not been on it in a while. Besides he is hurt and should be rehabbing.

Around the league.....
Random thoughts......
I see the Tigers have finally found out what it is like to win again.
Washington's hot start seams to have cooled off.
The Marlins must really be missing Miggy right about now.
The CUBS suck, They got destroyed by the Reds.
I would hate to be a Philly's fan this year. It looks like there going to bring every game down to the last inning. (Except for today).
Griffey is only 4 home runs away from 600. Why is no one making a big deal about that?

Getting late and i have to get up early.

PEACE................
