Jumping the Shark

Jun 7, 2007
Some pretty cool things have happened (or are going to happen) lately.

Last night, I had games three and four as a head coach. I still haven't had a full roster because the football coach is stealing half of my good players for football camp (*shakes fist in the air), but we're getting by with what we have. And last night, we had 5 of our players and then 6 of the 6th-8th grade all-stars playing with us.

We dropped our double header by a combined 4 runs, but did something remarkable: We turned a triple play in the last inning we were in the field. That's something I'll probably never see again as a coach. For those interested (and baseball savvy), it was a 9-3-6 triple play. Two throws, three outs.

So in four games as a head coach, I've had a no-hitter, a triple play and my right/center fielder threw out a runner at first (this is when we were playing with 8 players and 2 outfielders).

What else is going on? Well, Erica is finishing up her thesis sometime this morning. That's just awesome and unbelievable. Congrats sis.

Also, today is one month away (06.07.07) from the unveiling of the New 7 Wonders of the World (07.07.07 - fittingly). I'm hoping that these places win (partly because I've been to a few):

• Colosseum
• Statue of Liberty (go USA, right?)
• Stonehenge
• Sydney Opera House
• Taj Mahal
• Machu Picchu
• Easter Island Moais

I'm really not holding my breath for the Statue or the Opera House, but I still think it's cool that they are voting on new wonders.
