Over the course of our relationship, my wife and I have worked on getting to all 30 MLB ballparks. We're both baseball fans and that was a large part of why we started dating in the first place. Our first trip together was down to Kansas City to see the Twins and Royals. The year after we got married we did a week-long stretch of seeing a game almost every day on the way to my friend's wedding in the northeast. Living in Maryland was helpful in this. Our progress did slow sig

This winter I took the next step in my coaching career (if we can call it that) and coached our eldest son's basketball team. That long season came to a close Valentine's Day and I want to record some thoughts, and feelings. Here's the story. Early fall there was discussion amongst parents at our son's school about signing up together. This is how it starts, and what's resulted in flag football teams, this basketball team and, from what it sounds like, a baseball team this up

The Olympics are over, but there's still a good story to tell and you'll have to pretend this was more timely. This year, for the XXXIII...

The original plan for Arizona was to write up Chase Field, the home ballpark of the Arizona Diamondbacks. We saw a game there for the first time and I always have opinions on baseball stadiums, but we went with a big group (6 adults, 6 kids) and didn't get to explore enough to properly rate it. So that'll be on the backburner, until next time, we need to go again. Since returning home I also took in a Twins home game (they were playing Ohtani and the Dodgers and I didn't want

Our eldest son is going to kindergarten this fall and that's the earliest you can play actual baseball. So it's been tee-ball time for...

I rarely, if at all, write about my sports fandom, because I can't imagine it matters to anyone else, especially when using this longer...

I'm a baseball nut, something you probably already know. Figuring out how we're going to watch Major League Baseball, specifically the...

We suddenly have plenty of family in Phoenix. My sister has lived there a while and her family has been growing. Her in-laws are all there. Now my parents made the leap to the desert after living their entire lives in Minnesota. This is our primary reason to travel (or perhaps move) there and we just got back from another excursion. It certainly doesn't hurt the weather is lovely this time of year while winter persists in Minnesota. There's also another reason I really like A

As stated previously I'm not entirely sold on living in Minnesota again. I'm missing the warmer weather of Maryland and starting to dread...

I love the Olympics. I especially love the Winter Olympics. Alpine Skiing and Figure Skating are a couple favorites, and then there's...

I'm a day late and dollar short to this, a few actually, but I don't think that matters. Now past the 20 year anniversary, which feels...

Music generally isn't a huge deal to me. I don't spend much time exploring artists or keeping up with what's popular and just kinda...

This post definitely goes with the idea this blog is sometimes a sorta virtual scrapbook. Ideally, whether or not I write for that long,...

If you actually know me and didn't already know the following I apologize for not sharing. We're expecting our second child in December....

This was supposed to be a happy post. Going to be called 'The boys are back!' I'd cover the return of baseball over the weekend. It's...

Since it's really the only thing happening right now, might as well write about the coronavirus, COVID-19. It's been some 24 hours. Last...
