Spring Forward!

I'm very excited about Spring coming....here's why.

I'm ready for MLB!  Although I've given thought to try to be a Nationals fan I'm still holding onto my roots as an Atlanta Braves fan.  Bobby Cox has been involved in Braves baseball as long as I can remember and plan to watch him finish off his last year in the dugout.  Bobby is one of the best managers of all time.  Some may say that with 1 World Series Championship he may not be, but I think he'll be a first ballot Hall of Famer.  I'm looking forward to seeing the new up & coming Braves at least a couple of times this year against the Nats.  Go Braves & Go Nats when they aren't playing the Braves.

Staying on the baseball theme I'm gearing up to coach the Spring 2010 Fairfax Little League Single "A" Bulls...John's team.  John will be playing in his second season of machine pitch Single A and this should be a fantastic season.

Lastly, you may or may not know I've lost a fairly significant amount of weight over the last 43 weeks...82 to be exact.  Part of my excitement of going into Spring is a real goal of growing some of our own food.  We're looking at Zucchini, Squash, Green Beans, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, maybe carrots and a few stalks of corn.  The goal is to pick 5 or 6 of the things we like to eat most and grow enough to eat all summer...I'm getting the kids involved so it should be some work and a lot of fun...

Anyway, happy Spring to you all!
