Good Day Yesterday All Around!

Little Boys - The Essence of Baseball

As Mondays go, yesterday is good as you can get I suppose.  Day started out with a weight that confirmed I was still maintaining my current weight and showing signs my system is stabilizing and trying to set its metabolism.  I also started working out with weights again yesterday and that was a good thing as despite the fact that I a little sore today and expect to be the next few days.  I plan on lifting weights three times a week and will be interested to see what my weight does combining it with the maintenance phase.  On another good note from yesterday, I hit a bucket of balls at driving range and may have . . . I said may have figured something out with my swing - or at least I did for hour or so yesterday.  Then it was off to Myles's baseball game that the Mighty Cardinals won 9-2.  Myles played really well as he pitched two strong innings, doubled, drove in two runs, and also scored twice.  Is there anything better than baseball to capture the essence of a little boy??? I think not!! Speaking of baseball, the Rangers won against the Angels last night, and I also found and old book of mine that Stacy gave me on our 2nd anniversary in 1994 called "Baseball Shorts" that has some of the best one-liners about baseball and I laughed out loud reading back over some of the quotes. Thus, since it is baseball season, I will be leaving you with quotes from the book from time-to-time.  And finally, I got around to putting together a storage closet in the garage that has been collecting nothing but dust and spider eggs.  It took me a while because I have no, and I mean NO engineering talents at all - so putting together a sandwhich can be challenge for me.  Ok, that is enough about a great Monday and on to what I eat yesterday:
